Capture new customer's IP

[darrelh]

Hello,

I've added this to ACED> Customer Fields, figuring a successful registration lands here & would trigger this to capture the user's IP address into a Customer custom field 'custcreateip'.

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Write_Customer_ID(l.settings:customer:id,l.settings:customer:custcreateip,s.remote_addr)" />

I thought at that point in time, the new customer has an ID, we're writing to their custcreateip field, putting the s.remote_addr (IP) there. I seem to be missing something though. Any thoughts?

This is in an effort to be able to blacklist an IP if we find out right after they register that they're a fraudulent user.

Thanks!
Darrel

If the custom Customer field code is 'custcreateip' then your SMT code should be:

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Write_Customer_ID(l.settings:customer:id, 'custcreateip', s.remote_addr)" />

Thanks Bruce. I see your correction, and applied it. I'm still not getting the IP into that field though. I've got custom fields enabled (in Items) on ACED. That shouldn't be needed on ACAD too for this, right?

Any other thoughts? My corrected line of code is sitting in Customer Fields. I figured the page load after the new customer goes from ACAD to ACED (this is the path right?) would cause it to execute.

Well, check those assumptions:
make sure the page where customer lands is ACAD
eval &mvt:customer:id; and make sure its populated when landing on that page.

Tagging in here because I have a continuing problem with Custom Customer Fields not passing the data on to anywhere.
