In my opinions is not good that something can obtain tha ip address of an user that post a comment, or a message in the forum area, something know how I can disable this features? There are an option to change or some code to modify?

thanks

AFAIK this information is only available to administrators and not the casual user.

For newbb module you are in truth (sorry ) but for comments to the news I can view the IP address if I'm logged in like privileged user or normal user.

I can't.

Just try the comments on this site.

Yes, on this site I can't see the posts'IP but on mine a unprivileged user can, and to complicate all don't ever.

1) You're sure the user is not in a group that has admin rights for the news module?

2) Do you have caching enabled for the news module?

No, the user is not in the admin group ( I'm not so stupid ), but recently I've have enabled the cache on news module and a user tell me about this problem (public IP), now I'm trying to disable the caching on modules.

I have disabled the cache and now the problem is dissapear. But I think that my XOOPS site can be slow, there are other solutions?

Hmmmm ..

Caching can be selectively disabled within a module file like this:

require_once '../../mainfile.php';
$xoopsOption['template_main'] = whatever.html';
[color=ff0000]$xoopsConfig['module_cache'][$xoopsModule->getVar('mid')] = 0; // disable caching[/color]
require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/header.php';


Maybe a check should be added to header.php so that caching is disabled when the current user is a module admin.

I'll look into it, Dave. Can you say with absolute certainty that the page will not be cached if set to 0? (I mean, one thing is that it will not fetch the cached version if set to 0, but will it also prevent it from being cached?)
