A page which logs the IP of the visitor and stores it to the database

[arcaneex]

A member , admin or a guest. Every person which visit a page should have his IP logged and stored. Is it possible to do it?

Okay I found the code to store/show the IP. But how do I make it work on the page and how to I make it store it on the database?

Which page exactly? You will likely need a small addon to do the IP logging.

A simple xenforo page , added using the new page through ACP.

You can specify a callback for your page node. Code example:

With your callback you can add code to log the IP. Here is code taken from the register controller for logging the IP:

XenForo_Model_Ip::log($user['user_id'], 'user', $user['user_id'], 'register');

You need to pass in your own values when calling this function.

Okay I found this: http://teamtutorials.com/web-develo...-into-a-mysql-database-using-php#.UDEHnN3ibDs to store it.

How do I combine this and the IP log things together in one callback?

 

[Jake Bunce]

XenForo already has a system for IP logging. Just use the XenForo_Model_Ip class (code example above).

 

[arcaneex]

Yes but I need it to log Visitor IP's too.

 

[Jake Bunce]

XenForo_Model_Ip logs the IP of the visitor. Just call that log() function as shown in the above code example. See this file for the class code:

library/XenForo/Model/Ip.php

I really don't understand what this means : ($user['user_id'], 'user', $user['user_id'], 'register'); can you please explain?​

You need to be a programmer to implement something like this. You should post a request if you need some one to write this for you:
