Hello. I have been working as Administrator for a forum and They have asked me they want in the Profile area and only Administrators to see it. I need the IP to appear automatically in the text box without me having to fill each text box of each member manually. I have already created the field I just need the IP to be added automatically. is there any CSS, Javascript or Html code to make this a possibility? 

Screenshot of text box: http://prntscr.com/5esvgg

So you want the IP address to automatically appear in a customized profile field?

Yes that's what they asked me for. Only the Admins can see it though

This can not be done as far as i know i think you will need server side data for that and we don't have access to that sort of thing.

This is indeed possible!

Wow i learn something every day lol

EDIT: i could not get it to work thou it messes up other codes

APE wrote:i could not get it to work thou it messes up other codes

So it did not work in your tests???

Let us analyze the code:

This line: if (location["search"] == "?agreed=true\x26step=2") {
Awaits the registration page where the data should be filled;

This: var profileID = "PROFILE_FIELD_ID";
It is where is stored the new profile field ID;

This: var IPLocation = setInterval(function() { .... }, 10);
It is an infinite loop of 10 milliseconds;

This: if (document["getElementById"](profileID) !== null) {
Awaits the ID to be interpreted by DOM;

This: jQuery("#" + profileID)["closest"]("dl")["hide"]();
Hides the field so that the member not edit manually;

This: clearInterval(IPLocation);
Stop the loop;

This: jQuery["getJSON"]("http://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp\x26callback=?", function(IP) {
Returns the public IP;

This: jQuery("#" + profileID)["val"](IP["ip"]);
Adds the returned value (IP) in the predefined field;

And this: })["fail"](function() {alert("Warning!\x0A\x0 A An error occurred while requesting registration, wait 0 seconds and refresh the page to re-register!"); });
If there is any error, shows that message!

So after this analysis, I can not imagine how it could have some conflict with other code!

JS

Not sure but i am happy to not have it lol It just kills my java codes so i don't know lol

APE wrote:Not sure but i am happy to not have it lol It just kills my java codes so i don't know lol

Okay, but do not give up so easy!

Works on my forum and if you find it interesting, I have to do work in your too, of course!

Please try the code below:

Code:


jQuery(function() {
   if (location.search == "?agreed=true\x26step=2") {
      var profileID = "PROFILE_FIELD_ID";
      if (document.getElementById(profileID) !== null) {
         jQuery("#" + profileID).closest("dl").hide();
         jQuery.get("http://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp\x26callback=?", function(IP) {
            jQuery("#" + profileID).val(IP.ip);
         }).fail(function() {
            alert("Warning!\n\nA An error occurred while requesting registration, wait 10 seconds and refresh the page to re-register!");
         });
      };
   };
});

@Eugeo Ayano

@APE
I found this error in your forum:

But it's nothing to do with my code!

Replace my code with this code below (no need to modify it):

Code:


if (location.search == "?agreed=true\x26step=2") {
   var profileID = 'profile_field_13_14';
   var IPLocation = setInterval(function() {
      if (document.getElementById(profileID) !== null) {
         jQuery("#" + profileID).closest("dl").hide();
         clearInterval(IPLocation);
         jQuery.getJSON("http://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp\x26callback=?", function(json) {
            jQuery("#" + profileID).val(json.ip);
         }).fail(function() {
            alert("Warning!\n\nAn error occurred while requesting registration, wait 10 seconds and refresh the page to re-register!");
         });
      };
   }, 10);
};


I await your reply,

JS

Create a new field in the profile as follows:


Then go on editing your profile and with the help of the browser console, locate the new field identifier that was created as illustrated below:


Use this code:

Code:


if (location["search"] == "?agreed=true\x26step=2") {
 var profileID = "PROFILE_FIELD_ID";
 var IPLocation = setInterval(function() {
 if (document["getElementById"](profileID) !== null) {
 jQuery("#" + profileID)["closest"]("dl")["hide"]();
 clearInterval(IPLocation);
 jQuery["getJSON"]("http://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp\x26callback=?", function(IP) {
 jQuery("#" + profileID)["val"](IP["ip"]);
 })["fail"](function() {
 alert("Warning!\x0A\x0 A An error occurred while requesting registration, wait 10 seconds and refresh the page to re-register!");
 });
 };
 }, 10);
};


Change this: PROFILE_FIELD_ID ] by the identifier that you found in step above!

Result:


JS

see it says you need to make it a Necessarily filled ? YES

but then doesn't that mean the user has to find his own IP and insert it on his own?

Yes, it should be as shown in the picture!!!

Just missed you change this which we sealed in the image below:


I edited my post: https://help.forumotion.com/t137330-ip-address-in-profile#927897
Then use this other, if it works, will work for @Eugeo Ayano too.

Eugeo Ayano wrote:but then doesn't that mean the user has to find his own IP and insert it on his own?

No, the field will be hidden!

JS

Note it will only add the ip address when a member makes an account it will not fill in the ip address of the members that are already on your forum as members

APE wrote:Note it will only add the ip address when a member makes an account it will not fill in the ip address of the members that are already on your forum as members

No problem! So what you want is that the IP is recorded whenever the member login?
If it is, I will do the way you want ok?

JS

Already worked with the test account I made. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

it would be really good if it would find the ips of the members we already have aswell as find the new members ip address but dont worry if its gonna take ya all night lol its good just the way it is

Thank you J

Many thanks for everything

@Eugeo Ayano
I'm very happy to have helped you!

@APE
Ok, keep this topic open that tomorrow I will do the code!

JS

ok no problem
