Hi all,

is there a way of figuring out the IP address of someone submitting something via Autoform Plus?
(fx. a post comment or contact form)

I can't seem to find anything on it anywhere in the Umbraco log.

Alternativly, if someone could perhabs develop a custom datatype that stores the submitters IP address without directly asking for it in the form, you would make me a very, very happy man. I've tried looking into creating one myself, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to do it.

I actually thought about this recently too.

I was thinking of making it a default feature that if certain property aliases existed, it would automatically fill the field.

remote_addr
remote_host
remote_user

perhaps all the server variables? Let me know your thoughts...

Sounds cool Casey!

I think that just a couple of the host headers are needed, but I guess adding support for them all isn't that much extra work. Can't think of anything else that could be usefull.

When do you think this could be released?

Not that I want to put pressure on you or anything, I just need to evaluate wether I should put time into a temporary fix of my problem or not.

Best regards,

Hmmm... If I can find about an hour (maybe two) this weekend, I will see about getting these added.

Other enhancements will be:
- adding template support to the Form From Address,
- some enhancements with code logic,
- and possibly 3rd party table support.
