IP logging with username upon login

[stalkandkill]

I found some code on the forums here to log IP addresses, which works fine, but I'd like to have the users' name logged beside the IP address as well. Can I add something to the code that will do this, or is there any other way to accomplish this?

Here's the code that logs someone's IP when they visit whatever page I add the code to:

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $log=("iplog.txt"); $logip=fopen($log,"a"); fputs($logip,date('m-d-y@H:i:sT')." - ".$ip."\n"); fclose($logip);

I actually did find a post here with a .txt file attachment that was supposed to provide this sort of functionality, but it said I didn't have permission to download the file, and now I can't even find the page again.

IP logging of user IP's is built into VB, check your admincp --> vbulletin options.

edit user --> drop menu (search users IP's, but IP logging has to be on.)

This PHP code doesn't allow you access to the variables used by vBulletin. To get where you want to go, you would need to convert it to a plugin so you could use the variables that contain the information you are trying to track. You might want to think about storing the data in the database rather than a text file for security as well.

I have that logging turned on, but I also wanted to log whenever someone logs in to the forums, not just when they post.

I'll look in to this, thanks.
