Yes, I copied right from the template-tags for the send_private_message_link function.

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

the function still redirects to the same page.

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

i changed it! see in the code above?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Thought for sure this would work but it didn’t

`function bp_forum_send_private_message_link() {
echo bp_forum_get_send_private_message_link();
}
function bp_forum_get_send_private_message_link() {
global $bp, $topic_template;

if ( !bp_the_topic_is_mine() || !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

return apply_filters( ‘bp_forum_get_send_private_message_link’, wp_nonce_url( $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->messages->slug . ‘/compose/?r=’ . bp_core_get_username( $bp->topic_template->post->poster_id, $bp->topic_template->displayed_user->userdata->user_nicename, $bp->topic_template->displayed_user->userdata->user_login ) ) );
}`

have you tested it on your site? Like mine?

So once the user logs in, it’s there forever right?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

ok, actually this looks fine so far, because it seems like once they have logged in, wordpress saves it for good.

ray, if i put the function for the IP above, and the topic poster Id i was talking about before, it would work?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

so everybody has to log in in one day for all of them to be showed? wow, bummer…

why can’t we change that?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

How weird. Now the IP showed, but only with the admin account and the group owner account. All the others it did not appear

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

im putting the functions in bp-custom

then the call in groups/single/members.php

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

if you have tested it, does it work on your site?/

When I put your updated code, nothing appears

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Huh???? Is that the right code?

doesn’t look like it

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

@cnorris23??

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Actually, Brandon, do you have a membership at wpmu?

Maybe you could ask this question there for further answers

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

idk I found one that seemed like it passed the $user_id for the comments

`// applied to the comment author’s IP address prior to saving the comment in the database.
function auto_reverse_proxy_pre_comment_user_ip()
{
if ( !empty($_SERVER) )
{
$X_FORWARDED_FOR=explode(“,”, $_SERVER);
$REMOTE_ADDR=trim($X_FORWARDED_FOR[0]); //take the first element in the array
} else {
$REMOTE_ADDR=$_SERVER;
}
return $REMOTE_ADDR;
}
add_filter ( ‘pre_comment_user_ip’,’auto_reverse_proxy_pre_comment_user_ip’);`

but i tried it, and the ips are still all mine.

for some reason when i put your code in bp-custom.php it doesn’t work, so i think what is holding it up is the

`if ( update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘ip_address’, $ip_address ) )`

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

I tied logging in, loggin out, Your code does not work, it just simply does not appear. Nothing appears.

And I want the IP to display in the group’s member list, and topic page

I have just about given up, seems like it’s just impossible

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Hey ray, i have a quick question.

I have wp-ban installed, and it adds a function that fetch’s the IP address of the user logged in i think, it’s the standard function for calling it.

the full code is here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/having-trouble-with-ip/#post-96715

What i did is I put the function in the topic.php so it would show the poster’s IP address. Now knowing that that function only retrieves the current logged in user IP, I thought I could override this with your function above, (my_topic_poster_id) so it would display the IP address of the forum poster. (like the member stats), so put in topic.php

`. `

Will it pass the topic poster ID so it shows the forum poster’s IP and not mine?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

is there a way around it? I would love both

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

any ideas ray?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

trial and error now…

where is the $members_template->member->user_id; supposed to be?

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

yeah, i even tried changing it in the plugin file, and nothing changed then either

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks…. but to no avail… still. I’m so bummed i could cry.

Nothing appears where i put the function… uhh. ;(

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

thats the entire thing? or is it

`function my_get_IP( $user_id = false ) {
if ( empty( $user_id ) )
return false;

$ip_address = esc_attr( trim( get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘ip_address’, true ) ) );

return $ip_address;

if(!empty($_SERVER)) {
$ip_address = $_SERVER;
} else if(!empty($_SERVER)) {
$ip_address = $_SERVER;
} else if(!empty($_SERVER)) {
$ip_address = $_SERVER;
} else {
$ip_address = ”;
}
if(strpos($ip_address, ‘,’) !== false) {
$ip_address = explode(‘,’, $ip_address);
$ip_address = $ip_address[0];
}

if ( update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘ip_address’, $ip_address ) )
return $ip_address;
else
return false;
}
add_action( ‘wp_login’, ‘my_update_user_IP’ );`

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

I still got the Error with the updated code

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

The first code I get: `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE`

[@vegasparty607 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]
