Disable IP logging in IPB

I am using IPB 3.1.4, can you tell me which classes and methods am I need to remove to disable IP logging in forum? I can't ask this question on specialized IPB forum because of I don't know where they are and stackoverflow is the best site of programmers and maybe someone know how to resolve my problem :)

Solution

  • Theres no way to disable ip logging without editing ipb source files. You can try to set same ip for all users. To do it try this:

    1. open admin/sources/handlers/han_login.php
    2. find this code: if ( $member['ip_address'] == "" OR $member['ip_address'] == '127.0.0.1' ) { $core['ip_address'] = $this->registry->member()->ip_address; }
    3. Replace it with this: if ( $member['ip_address'] == "") { $core['ip_address'] = "127.0.0.1"; }
    4. save

    P.S. a lot of ipb functions (e.g. spam-protection, bruteforce-protection...) use ip. Do you really want to disable ip logging? It may cause a lot of troubles.
