[fixed] IP Address display question ...

[Gordon Werner]

hey folks ...

I have Display IP Address Publically set in my control panel ... but in the actual forums, all that shows up is

IP: ... without the IP address.

If I change it to display the IP only to Admins and Moderators ... it shows up in posts as:

IP: Logged

Anyone know why it doesn't work as expected? or does the forum hide your own IP address from your eyes?

thanks

Gordon

When you click the "logged" bit, is it actually logged?

[Gordon Werner]

OK ... I changed the option to log, but only let Admin/Mods see it ...

I went to an old post (3 hours pre-this topic posting)

and I clicked on the "logged" link.

It replied:

The IP Address is: 207.202.173.121. The host name is: ip121.r6.d.bel.nwlink.com. Please click here to return to the thread.

but when I change it back, no IP.

:(

I believe I may know why this happens. I haven't looked at the code to confirm, though.

Moving to bugs...

Change your postbit_ip_show template to reference $post[ip] instead of $post[ipaddress] and that should fix it.
