[Typo3] Display User IP Address

[Alexander Heidl]

Floyd,

Yes and no. Wll, the TS (TypoScript) defines a TS object containing the
textual information of the IP address (getenv). This object can be placed
anywhere with either TemplaVoila, the template autoparser or manually. It
really depends on your Typo3 configuration. Explaining how to do that in
particular would be too much at this point. Please check out the tutorials
for that.

However your configuration is set up, this TS object may be place within
your described DIV tags. As I said, it may be and its all down to your
template construction. It wont be simply placed within such a DIV tag if you
don't tell Typo3 to do so...

BR,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Forgive me if I sound a little daft... this is the first site I've built 
with Typo3. This is what I understand:

Place these 2 lines into the template setup:
  lib.ipaddress = TEXT
  lib.ipaddress.data = getenv:REMOTE_ADDR

Place this on my page:
<div id="ipaddress"> </div>

This solution seems much simpler than the PHP code I had found... thanks 
for that.
