Getting user's ip address when they send feedback can be a great way to prevent spamming on your site. Members are less likely to post bad things if they know their IP is being logged. This tutorial will give you the steps needed to get the ip sent along with their feedback to your email.

Files to edit:
modules/Feedback/index.php

Steps :
Open modules/Feedback/index.php. The first thing we will do is get the user's IP address using your server's own codes. Find the following line of code.

$cookie[0] = intval($cookie[0]);

It may be different in some versions of phpnuke but you should see something similar. Just above that place the following:

$userip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];

We next need to show the user that their IP is being logged. Find the following:

<INPUT type=\"hidden\" name=\"opi\" value=\"ds\">

Above that paste the following line of codes:

<p>Your IP address has been logged : ".$userip."</p>

The final part is to make sure the ip is sent to your email. Find the following line of codes:

$msg .= ""._MESSAGE.": $message\n\n";

Above that paste the following codes:

$msg .= "User IP: $userip\n";

That's all! Save your file and upload. You can now send a feedback and see that the ip address is also sent to your email.
