Send IP address to admin when user registers

Hello all,

I've recently set XOOPS up on my web-site, and have it configured so that when a user registers an email is set to me(the admin) so I can activate their account. Because my web-site is for locals only I want to be able to track their IP address. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out how to add this to the activation email. Any suggestions?
I'm pretty confident I could hack it so that I get the IP address, but I'd rather see if there is already a way to do so, before attempting this rather difficult(for me)hack.

Thanks in advance!

The IP addresses of most users would probably change anyway at some point after registering, unless they had purchased static IP address from their ISP.

Umm, yeah I kinda noticed. I don't mean to be rude, but if your not gonna help, then why post?

I don't care that the address may change, I want to know the address they use to register. Thats all I want. Looks like I'm just gonna have to go and hack it.

Hi,
Never mind. I figured it out.
Got to your register.php in the root directory of XOOPS and find the code :
Quote:

$xoopsMailer->useMail();
$xoopsMailer->setTemplate('adminactivate.tpl');
$xoopsMailer->assign('USERNAME', $myts->oopsStripSlashesGPC($uname));

Under where it says:
Quote:

$xoopsMailer->assign('USERNAME',$myts->oopsStripSlashesGPC($uname));

Add :
Quote:

$xoopsMailer->assign('USERIP',$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);


And then open your adminactivate.tpl(usually at /xoops_root/language/your_language/mail_template/)
And add :
Quote:

USERNAME's IP address is ({USERIP}).

to your activation message.
There, it works, it tracks the IP address and then send it to you. I dunno if this poses a security risk or not, I don't see how it would though.
