How to make "Submitted From" anonymous?

    Hi,

    I want to strip the last 3 digits from the IP of each entry into CFDB – German privacy laws require you to do so, actually. I thought I could easily access the field, delete the last three digits and add three zeroes. But that did not work as expected.

    // My form filter - added in functions.php
function myFilter($formData){
    $formName = 'myform'; // change this to your form's name
    if ($formData && $formName == $formData->title) {

       $ip = $formData->posted_data['Submitted From']);
       $stripped = substr($ip, 0, -3);
       $ip_ano = $stripped . "000";

       $formData->posted_data['Submitted From'] = $ip_ano;

    }
    return $formData;
}

add_filter('cfdb_form_data', 'myFilter');

    But I cannot access the field this way. Most probably it gets created sometime else.

    Where can I place that modifying code to make the submitters’ IPs anonymous?

    That is handle a differently. Try this:

    function myFilter($formData){
    $formName = 'myform'; // change this to your form's name
    if ($formData && $formName == $formData->title) {

       $ip = $formData->ip;
       $stripped = substr($ip, 0, -3);
       $ip_ano = $stripped . "000";

       $formData->ip = $ip_ano;

    }
    return $formData;
}

add_filter('cfdb_form_data', 'myFilter');

    I think this assumes you are using CF7.
