Topic: Guest ident

Just another quickie. big_smile In the set_default_user function, would there be any side effects I've overlooked by changing the remote_address part to an if else where the user agent is used as the ident if it matches certain criteria, or else the I.P is used as normal if not? Also, that would be the only place I'd need to do the if/else statement, would it not?


Thanks again,

Matt

Re: Guest ident

I can be any user agent I want. So yes, that would be a bad idea tongue
I would add another column, include the user agent there, and do whatever you want based on that.

Cheers. smile I had a feeling I'd overlooked something again. big_smile It is just that one function I need to do it in, is it not? The others all relate to logged in users?

Thanks again,

Matt
