Sorry it took me soo long to answer this post. I licked the problem though by upgrading to the new BB 2.0. Thanks for all your help and sorry if I was alittle pissy with ya in this post.

Well I'm alittle HTML un-gifted.. But I cloned the default template and this is what I have so far... I did add the above mention addition to the cloned.
Once I do this . I go into forums and once I get down to the thread I get a default looking (orgional theme) page with nothing on it but the old standard NEWBB template. I am using neWPC_black as a Default theme.

Below is what I cloned and added.. Look for the <------ADDED (yes I did not add that into the code.)

OK it's already in there. But it does not seem to work.. I have FULL webmaster rights and I still do not see the ip addresses. Ideas?

BUT!!

Well I guess sort of a dumb question. Should I be editing this via a HTML editior or via the templates in the admin section.

Also. I might need to double check my security settings. There a place where in XOOPS that I might have checked/turned it off?

So it should look like this exactly in the HTML?

<{if $viewer_is_admin == true}>
<{$topic_post.post_poster_ip}>
<{/if}>
Or is there some sort of offset for the lines ?

Thanks

Better off.. send a copy of the HTML file to dcsvany@mindspring.com

well post it here. Does no good to us without an answer. Sorry but maybe others are having the same issue as you..

Thanks for the response. I thought this post would goto the forum graveyard. I'll keep hunting but if anyone else has an idea please feel free to respond. I need to ban a few people from joining up ASAP.

I am webmaster (or so it's called)on my site and before something changed I was able to view the ip addresses on who posted in forums. But something changed and now I only see the posted dates. Any ideas on how to change the fourms to show ip addresses again? Using XOOPS 2.0.7.1.

Thanks,

I am fully behind this idea. I have a XOOPS site right now setup ready and waiting www.miamivehicles.com.. But only problem is that I would like to see Tribes 2 as a hosted game.. I noticed "future games" was on the to do list... What exactly in lamens terms (becuase I'm not really a coder) you need to be able to get it going?

Don't know if this helps out or not.. but I found these which is easily downloadable from my ftp site.

Most if not all are in perl. But I think it needs alittle tweaking from a coders point of view.

Very intresting. Thanks for he heads up. I would very intrested in helping out this project. I might have a coder that could possibly help us out. Please keep in touch at dcsvany@mindspring.com. I really can't do too much but give you a server for logs and such. ( I'm a network guy by heart) But it would be intresting in converting HLserver to be XStatsserver for multiple games and convert it a XOOPS type of format for modules. Maybe not just XOOPS but for a all around install. The upcomming T:V might be of intrest to do this for also.
