I KNOW it is there somewhere, but I can't seem to find it - where is the IP address logged when a new user registers??  Our forum has location requirements, and I need to find out if people registering are meeting those requirements.  Right now, I have to wait until they are logged in to find it, but I know the forum software keeps track.  Someone tell me where to find that information, please???

Thank you.

There are only two ways to get the IP address:

1.  From a post 

2.  In the administration panel when you and the member is on at the same time.

I remember seeing a list of members, and the IP address from their last login, but I can't remember WHERE I saw it.

Not on a forum hosted by Forumotion.   You can see a list when you and them are log in at the same time.

what ip address are you allowing .. im working on a script for you

They HAVE to be in the USA to join the forum.  Basically, the forum is for US firearms enthusiasts.  So, I always check to make sure that they aren't from China, or the Russian Federation or whatever.  I didn't realize you could set it up to automatically exclude foreign IP addresses.

ok so i changed my mind after finding a list of usa ip's it would take me probably a month to go threw this list and create ranges to scan

ill look around in my spare time and try to find another way if i do ill post it  .. and dont worry if it gets locked i can have mod unlock it if i figure out something

Yeah, I assumed (silly me) that certain codes would be 'assigned' to certain countries or regions.  Nope.  There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it.  The only constant I've found is that the last set of numbers - will always go to the same area.  Such as:  123.456.789.***  As long as the first 3 sets are the same, the last set can be any combination of numbers, and it will still go to the same area/region.  So, if I have someone from the Chinese at 221.130.125.13, all I have to do is block 221.130.125.* and I boot a wide group in the same [general] region.

true but it you want to if you want to only allow usa .. you will need a allow list not a block list because you would have to include every country

That is what I'm doing - 1 IP address at a time...  You would not believe how long the list is already.

you can stop .. i just figured something out i should have it for you by tomorrow

Go to Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes managment and create a new script.
Title: Non Usa
Placement: In All Pages
Paste the code below and submit :

Code:

$(function(){
if(location.href.match('register')){
    $.getJSON('http://ip-api.com/json', function(data) {
        if(data.country =='United States'){}else{
            $('.button1').remove();
            $('.button2').remove();
alert('       Sorry We Only Accept Users From The United States.\n\n\
       If Your In The United States And Your Seeing This Your \n\
Probably Running On A Proxy And Will Not Be Able To  Register.');}
    });}});

WOW!  Thank you!!

I'm sorry, I did the first part, but then got lost.  I don't know how to find the browser console as shown in the second illustration.  Where is that located?
