Capture Users IP#

I’ve been looking through the Web User Attributes and what I don’t find is how one can include a web user’s IP# when they register, be it with WebLogin or WebloginPE.

I’ve manually placed people’s IP#, which creates a new row in web_users_settings table, but isn’t there like a standard TV that can be used in a hidden form field to grab that info and insert it into that user’s settings?

Usually, it’s more trouble than it’s worth because many users (if not most) will have a different IP number each time they visit.

Thanks mrhaw. Much appreciated.

@Bobray: it’s true that the IP changes, but does that hold true if they visit from a large company? I’m thinking the larger companies will most likely have a range of static IPs.

That’s often the case, though not always.
