    Get IP address

    Hello

    I wanted to know if it is possible to have a dynamic field in umbraco forms (4.4.3). In fact, I wanted to display the IP address of the user filling in when the admin receives the form. I tried to add a default value [@Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")] but it not working. Any idea how this can be achieved?

    Thanks

    Hi aaeda

    Can you try to use the line below and let me know if it does what you want to do

    {@record.IP}

    Hope this helps

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis

    thanks a lot for your reply. I have tried but the field is blank. The forms version is 4.2.1 and not 4.4.3. It could be because of that?

    Did you find a solution to this problem, please @aaeda?

    Before Umbraco Forms, I used to use Umbraco Contour for some of my projects and I could capture the IP details of the webuser simply by adding something like this; Client IP {record.ip}, but this and similar combinations don't seem to be working. I have tried @Dennis Aean's suggestion as well as it made sense, but it didn't work either.

    PS: Umbraco Forms logs the IP address details in the UFRecords table in the IP column. PS 2: Umbraco Forms version is 4.3.3

    UPDATE: Here is the solution;

    1. Go to your Umbraco Forms form
    2. Add Question, type will be Hidden
    3. Set Default Value as [@Remote_addr]

    That is it! Hope this helps if you need it!
