Sending User IP

  • Hi guys,

    We would like to send the userIP with the form data. We had previously achieved this with this code on the form:

    [hidden userip “dummy ip”]

    This was previously working but since update and server move it only sends/captures the “dummy ip” instead of a real userIP value.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, i have read that before posting this.

    When i use the [_remote_ip] i have these issues:

    1. it shows this on the contact form – i dont want client to see this.
    2. it doesnt send the users ip to our system.

    As i said before it used to work with this code: [hidden userip “dummy ip”]

    and it send the users ip – then it stopped working and now only sends the actual text “dummy ip”

    I really need to be able to send the users actual ip to third parties.

    Ie what do i put on the form – how do i prevent the client from seeing it and what would i need to put in the 3rd party integration plugin to send this data.

    Im sure i cant be the only one trying to do this, any help would be much appreciated.

    OKay so i found the cf7 modules plugin and use a hidden field to hide it from the user like this:

    [hidden hidden-124 “_remote_ip”]

    and in the cf7 3rd party plug in i ask it to send the value for hidden-124

    but….

    it only sends the actual text “_remote_ip”

    i only want to send the users IP to a 3rd party which worked before but for some reason since this year it stopped and now i cannot find a solution.

    please please help!
