While developing and testing my bbPress Mobile XMLRPC interface, I have come across a situation where the poster IP would be of the server that bbPress Mobile is hosted on, not the actual poster’s IP address.

I would like to suggest that it be possible for the poster’s IP address be able to be set if the post is sent through XMLRPC. This way, I would be able to pass-through the IP address of the poster through bbPress Mobile. Fall back would be of the server’s IP that hosts bbPress Mobile.

I understand that it would currently be working correctly for a client that is on the user’s machine, such as a native Android application.

I’m going to try and figure out whether I can incorporate this functionality into my XMLRPC Client Info plugin or whether I need to patch bbPress core.

Sweet. In my plugin, I just made this:

if ( isset($_GET['poster_ip']) && !empty($_GET['poster_ip']) ) {

$bbdb->query( $bbdb->prepare( "UPDATE $bbdb->posts SET poster_ip = %s WHERE post_id = %d", $_GET['poster_ip'], $post_id ) );

}

And the .'&poster_ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is in bbPress Mobile.

It would probably be better doing it a different way, can anyone suggest something?

Just managed another way by patching bbPress’ xmlrpc.php and overwriting $_SERVER with the desired value.

// Poster IP

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = isset( $structure['poster_ip'] ) ? $structure['poster_ip'] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Then what I do on the bbPress Mobile side is send the data:

$params_array = new xmlrpcval(

array(

"title" => new xmlrpcval($title, "string"),

"text" => new xmlrpcval($text, "string"),

"forum_id" => new xmlrpcval($forum_id, "int"),

"tags" => new xmlrpcval($tags, "string"),

"poster_ip" => new xmlrpcval($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "string")),

"struct");
