Displaying IPHOSTNAME

[BruceM]

Has anyone found a way to display the IP address that a customer is using
when placing an order. We would like to use this variable on our order
screen to help dissuade potential fraudulent orders.

The IPHOSTNAME variable is available in reports but not sure how to get it
to display on an order screen.

[Daves Discount Motors]

I would also be VERY interested to hear if anyone has found out how to do
this! ShopSite... take note - feature request for 6.4....

If you have pro or manager version of ShopSite using the order.api with Perl
or any other CGI you can output the ip address plus all the other fields
plus others that you see on the thankyou page.

I've attached custom-dump.pl which ShopSite sent me which shows all the
fields that you can use to create your own thankyou screen. You put the file
in shop-bin/sc. Make sure the file has execute privileges. In the order API
screen put custom-dump.pl in the Custom CGI Location location.

You could have a Perl script that outputs the ip address at the top and show
the regular ShopSite thankyou screen, though you'll get the following "
Content-type: text/html" when it prints out and I haven't figure out if
there's a way to get rid of it. Also this method actually creates two
completely html pages in one browser screen which works, but not sure that's
the best way to do things.

If you need any programming done with the Order API I'm available to do
that.

What I think people are wanting (at least it's what I want) is a way to
display the IP address BEFORE order completion - right up front! So people
know they are being watched. Any thoughts?

The following code may work depending on your server setup.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
document.write("Your IP address is "+ip);
// End -->

Yes. If it doesn't work try saving the file as .shtml or .asp. Make sure
the code goes in the body of the page (between the <body> and </body> tags).

tried saving the page as both .shtml and .asp, checking to ensure javascript

What type of server are you on Unix, Linux, Windows? I believe you need to
make sure Server Side Includes (SSI) are running on your server.

After doing a bit of searching, I was able to get it to work when used
inconjunction with some free tools at www.bfndevelopment.com the tools are
available after you join as a member. I will try to see if my ISP can
implement them so as not to always be linking to an external location.

Here is the script:
Copy and past this code in the <head> of any html document. After you
past this code in the correct place, you will be able to get the users
information using the javascript variables anywhere in the remaining html
document.


<script language = "JavaScript" src =
"http://www.bfndevelopment.com/cgi-bin/home/Members/Environment/Environment.
cgi?User=2337">
// bfnIP - Contains the users IP address
// bfnUserAgent - Contains the users User Agent information, including
browser.
</script>

<script language = "JavaScript">
// Example:
// document.write(bfnIP);
// document.write(bfnUserAgent);
</script>

Works great! Thanks

One minor problem... cant seem to insert in to <head> section of an
auto-generated ShopSite page. I have tried searching all the help files but
no information was forthcoming. Anyone know if it is possible to edit the
<head? section of SS pages?

If you have pro or manager version of ShopSite using the
order.api
with
Perl
or any other CGI you can output the ip address plus all the other
fields
plus others that you see on the thankyou page.

I've attached custom-dump.pl which ShopSite sent me which shows
all
the
fields that you can use to create your own thankyou screen. You
put
the
file
in shop-bin/sc. Make sure the file has execute privileges. In the
order
API
screen put custom-dump.pl in the Custom CGI Location location.

You could have a Perl script that outputs the ip address at the
top
and
show
the regular ShopSite thankyou screen, though you'll get the
following
"
Content-type: text/html" when it prints out and I haven't figure
out
if
there's a way to get rid of it. Also this method actually creates
two
completely html pages in one browser screen which works, but not
sure
that's
the best way to do things.

If you need any programming done with the Order API I'm available
to
do
that.

In ShopSite go to preferences, then Page Header & Footer and insert the
script in the header section. That way it will be available for all pages.

There are two ways to put something in the Head section of ShopSite pages.
1. You can used a custom template and just include what you need in the
head section of the template.
2. You can add the information through the Meta tag field of the page
information. Check out knowledge base solution # S02825.
http://support.shopsite.com/kbase for some information on how to do this.

I've been learning Perl in use with the order.api and also the CALL tag in
ShopSite Templates. I've attached two Perl scripts for use with the CALL tag
that will get IP address and User Agent in Templates.

To use:
1. Perl needs to be running on the server
2. In the Perl files use may need to change the location of Perl depending
on the server setup.
3. Place file in shop-bin/ss/ or location that is setup for ShopSite cgi-bin
4. Make sure file has execute privileges
5. In template use command [-- CALL getIP.pl --] or [-- CALL getUserAgent.pl
--]
