Question Hiding IP

Just wondering, is it possible to hide the IP for moderators on the site? Like, make them visible for only super admins?

Yes, it's possible to do this but there is no configuration setting for it. You will have to hack the code and you will have a non-standard, unsupported website. You will probably need to modify the file ../components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/view.php at about line 1038, change to ... but heaven-only-knows why you want to change it. BTW, I haven't tested this. I hope it does what you want.

To the moderators: please move this discussion to Hacks, Tricks and Tips

Thanks, again . I'll test it out on my test forum and tell you how it goes.

Code:

//Show admins the IP address of the user: if ($is_Moderator) { $msg_ip = $fmessage->ip; }

to

Code:

//Show admins the IP address of the user: if ($uIsAdm) { $msg_ip = $fmessage->ip; }

Hello

thats not work on Kunena 1.5.9 :S
please fix

thanks !

Hello,

Why this doesn't work ?

There are no changes on the file /components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/view.php between K1.5.8 and K1.5.9.

hello and thanks for the answer!

I can see my own iP as super-administrator but no other Ip's


Then I'v try this
if ($is_administrator)

but this also doesn't work :side:

Who said anything about using "if ($is_administrator)" ? :S

I gave no guarantees that my idea would work - I said that I had not tested the code - I was only trying to help someone write their own solution. This is the hacks area, where nothing is guaranteed. :lol: As I also said, I can't see any benefit in changing the existing, quite satisfactory system. That's just my opinion, of course.

hello

$is_administrator was my experiment :laugh:

//Show admins the IP address of the user:
if ($uIsAdm)
{
$msg_ip = $fmessage->ip;
}

is not working on Kun 1.5.9

I'm a novice in PHP :S :silly:

I didn't say that my idea would work and OurIslamic, who asked the question, didn't say that he'd successfully solved the problem either. I haven't the need, nor the time, to investigate this thoroughly. Sorry. I'm sure someone will come along later with the correct answer.

BTW, hacking PHP code is not something novices should play with. You can get yourself into more trouble than Flash Gordon!
