email notification on new entry with ip adress?

jesperj — GMT

Greetings fellow Advanced Guestbook users (and developer/s perhaps!),

I use Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 and I wonder if it is possible to customize it so that when I get an email notification of a new guestbook entry, the email will not only contain the message but also the ip adress and date/time. This would be useful in the way that I could first remove the abusive entries and then check the email for info of the abuser. It has happened that I just erase them and later realize I want to look up who did it but too late (as I didn't cut & paste or noted the abusers ip and date/time before erasing the entry).

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for an otherwise great product.

Best regards,
Jesper J

It already should include the persons hostname.

it should? It does not. It looks like the following (my email and url replaced by MYEMAIL and MYSITE):

Paris Hilton

just wanted to say you have a nice site. Also check out mines:

SPAM MESSAGE HERE

It says From Paris.Hilton@csea02.cliche.se, and all email notification shows first.lastname@csea02.cliche.se. Cliche.se is my webhotell. Is this where the host of the poster should be instead or where?

If they haven't supplied an email address the @BLAH should be their hostname. Anyway open up [b]add.class.php[/b] found in the lib folder.
Replace
[code]"$this->name\n$this->host\n\n$this->comment"[/code]
with
[code]"$this->name\n$this->ip\n\n$this->comment"[/code]

Not tested it but should work.

Thank you very much for the time and effort.

After your fix the email looks like this:

- - -
NAME
IP

CONTENTS OF GUESTBOOK MESSAGE
- - -

which is great :) Thank you very much. The dream sollution however, but I think it will take too much effort and time to get working would be if it looked something like:

- - -

NAME: NAME
IP: IP
DATE : (date complete with time like "Thu, 14 Apr 2005 03:22:56 +0200")

MESSAGE: MESSAGE

- - -

I guess one really needs the exact date and time also incase of abuse.
Perhaps this could be implemented in future versions of the guestbook?

Again thank you very much. Now I can see the senders ip atleast in email.

[code]"Name = ".$this->name."\nIP = ".$this->ip."\nTime = ".date("r" , $this->the_time)."\nMessage = ".$this->comment[/code]

for more details on formatting the time read http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Thank you very much :)

Where exactly should I put this line of code? I feel uncomfortable trying to just put it where I think "looks right" as I really wouldn't know what I would be doing.

Carbonize — GMT

Where you put the initial code.

Please excuse my ignorance. I was just scared of messing it up.

Thank you very very much it works perfectly!
