ip address showing was created by arathra

I had this problem with a previous version and found the solution. The latest version of Kunena (which I installed yesterday) has not addressed this.

If you are a plain registered user and click on ONLINE MEMBERS AND GUESTS you can see the IP addresses of all users whether you are a moderator or not.

You can make a small change to WHO.PHP to address this.

Around line 108

Code:

<?php
                        if ($kunena_my->gid > 1)
                        {
						   if ($is_Moderator)
							{
							?>
							   (<?php echo $user->userip; ?>)
							<?php
							}
                        }
                        ?>

This makes it so only moderators can view IP addresses.

Hello,

thanks for sharing this, I will report this to the DEVs because it can be interesting.

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

This is a serious bug (legally). I have the same bug in Kunena 1.0.10!
Did you contact development?

How is this a bug or a defect? What are the legal ramifications? In my opinion, this is a storm in a teacup.

Perhaps it would be better if only administrators and moderators can see IP addresses but, in the long-run, does it really matter? Is there a suggestion that, from a legal standpoint, no-one should have the ability to see this information?
