Display Customer IP during checkout

First, my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere - I've searched and seen the posts regarding capturing the IP address for back-end purposes but hadn't seen anything quite exactly like this.

Also this may seem a bit pretentious to post in Custom Mods, (it's just a simple hack) so moderators please feel free to move to more appropriate forum.

It is also a good example/excercise of how you can use your own "pseudo" variables in any of your language variables.

Say for instance, you would like to display to a customer during checkout that their IP address is part of your anti-fraud technology - please, let's skip the debate as to whether this is useful or not; some clients want this based on the high-risk markets they are in and feel it is at least a minor deterrent. :wink:

Okay, first create a new text label:
Administration -> Languages -> Select Language -> Select Topic -> Text
For variable put: msg_customer_IP
For Description put: Customer IP address
For Value use something like this (note the double curly brackets around the word customer_ip:

Code:

<font color=red>*NOTE*</font> Your IP address : {{customer_ip}} is tracked during the checkout process as part of our anti-fraud technology.

Then to display this information wherever you want, use:

Code:

{$lng.msg_customer_ip|substitute:"customer_ip":$smarty.server.REMOTE_ADDR}

I added this as the last line of skin1/customer/main/cart_totals.tpl thereby displaying during every step of the checkout process.

The "substitute" pipe replaces your pseudo variable "customer_ip" with the smarty global containing the remote IP address.

Credits go to PhilJ for putting me on to the smarty global thing:

I was trying to use a PHP global and couldn't get it to work quite right. Thanks Phil 8)

small change

i just implemented this and had to make one small change. the code:

Code:

{$lng.msg_customer_ip|substitute:"customer_ip":$smarty.server.REMOTE_ADDR}

should be:

Code:

{$lng.msg_customer_IP|substitute:"customer_ip":$smarty.server.REMOTE_ADDR}

I don't think the default takes Proxies or IP's behind LAN's into consideration. Here's a function that can easily be used in config.php to grab the absolute IP of the user. Thanks to NuLime for the function.

Code:

function fetch_remote_address() {

        $_SERVER = $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS'];

        # Record basic remote address.

         $remote_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

        # Take proxies into consideration or IPs behind a LAN.

        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] != 'unknown' && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] != $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) {

                $HXFF_temp = preg_replace('/, ?unknown/i','',$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']); // Remove any trailing 'unknowns'.

                $remote_address .= ','.$HXFF_temp;

        }

        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] != 'unknown' && $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] != $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] && $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] != $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) {

                $HCI_temp = preg_replace('/, ?unknown/i','',$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']); // Remove any trailing 'unknowns'.

                $remote_address .= ','.$HCI_temp;

        }

        

        return $remote_address;

}

Dear Boomer,
Where exactly to put this code in config.php ?

We need to just put this code & nothing else ? will it display the customer's original IP on chekout ?

Place it towards the bottom of the file, before the WARNING comment.

Add this afterwards to call the IP anywhere:

Code:

$smarty->assign("customers_ip", fetch_remote_address());

And call the variable in any .tpl {$customers_ip}

Boomer, what do you mean by "And call the variable in any .tpl {$customers_ip}"

I copied the code into config like you said and added the line afterwards, but I'm still not seeing an IP.

Thanks.[/quote]

Code:

die(fetch_remote_address());

Add this after the function decleration in config.php, if it doesn't output anything than the function may need to use other GLOBAL variables, i.e. $HTTP_GET vs $_GET, etc.

That means you will have to put {$customers_ip} in .tpl file where you want to display IP address.

For example if you want to show IP on checkout page then place following code at the end of the file cart_totals.tpl
which is at skin1/customer/main/cart_totals.tpl

Code:

<font color=red>*NOTE*</font> Your IP address : {$customers_ip} is tracked during the checkout process as part of our anti-fraud technology.

Boomer is that the right way to put die(fetch_remote_address());

This doesn't seem to work, does any genius know how to implement this in 4.1.8 ?

No that'd be a violation of the RFC if private addresses were leaked.
