Displaying ip address of user

[Duckface]

{vb: raw bbuserinfo.ip}

The above displays an empty string, what is the variable name exactly or isn't there one?

Additionally, this doesn't work either:

{vb:rawphrase ip}

In a plugin (with appropriate hook location), you could use the statement:

PHP Code:

$useripaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 


and then register that variable for the template in which you wish to use it.

To which template are you trying to add it, and I can help further.

Which hook location would you recommend? As it's for a custom page that I made http://spawnscape614.co.uk/forums/donate/donate.php

The template is a custom template called Donate.

Okay, for your plugin, try the hook location "global_start" (since I don't know if there are any custom hook locations associated with this template) and let's try this instead for the PHP code:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT === 'donate')
{
    $show['userip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
} 


Then, in your template, use {vb:raw show.userip}. Let me know if this works.

Strangely not as logical as it sounds... I even tried (in the template):

PHP Code:

<?php

echo($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

?>

And still nothing.

What PHP version are you using?

What I suggested should work...don't know why it's not. Maybe someone else can suggest another solution.
