Adding Poster's IP Address to a Meta Field

    Hi,

    I absolutely love this plugin. It is amazing how few plugins there are that do this function.

    I am trying to add the poster’s IP address to a meta field named user_ip.

    [hidden meta_user_ip] creates the field on the post but I am struggling with getting the _remote_ip information into that meta field.

    I am using CF7 with the Hidden Fields module.

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Shawn

    I don’t think you can do this out of the box. But it would be easy to modify the plugin to capture that if you want.

    Edit the plugin file FormToPost_Plugin.php, scroll all the way down to the bottom where you see the code below, and add the 2 lined indicated below:

    // Apply General Meta tags
        foreach ($cf7->posted_data as $key => $val) {
            if (strpos($key, 'meta_') === 0) {
                $metaKey = substr($key, 5);
                update_post_meta($post_id, $metaKey, $val);
                //error_log("$metaKey => $val"); // debug
            }
        }

        // Add these two lines
        $ip = (isset($_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) ? $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
        update_post_meta($post_id, 'user_ip', $ip);

    }
}
