Rating problem and solution

[adimoldovanMember]

Hi,
I don’t know if this is a general problem or only for my host (mochahost.com), so this is what happen:
- after I voted up or down a wallpaper the rating system remain only with that vote even if the page was open from other computer (different IP);
- I suspected that the IP for the client is not read correctly. Checking the table for votes (vws_vote – in my case), I saw that the v_ip column has the IP from my host, NOT from client.

Solution:
- a little change in class Input (sys/helpers/Input.php), function ip_address() (line ~354):
function ip_address()
{
if ($this->ip_address !== FALSE)
{
return $this->ip_address;
}

if ($this->server(‘HTTP_CLIENT_IP’))
{
$this->ip_address = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif ($this->server(‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’))
{
$this->ip_address = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
elseif ($this->server(‘REMOTE_ADDR’) AND $this->server(‘HTTP_CLIENT_IP’))
{
$this->ip_address = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif ($this->server(‘REMOTE_ADDR’))
{
$this->ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}

if ($this->ip_address === FALSE)
{
$this->ip_address = ’0.0.0.0′;
return $this->ip_address;
}

if (strstr($this->ip_address, ‘,’))
{
$x = explode(‘,’, $this->ip_address);
$this->ip_address = end($x);
}

if ( ! $this->valid_ip($this->ip_address))
{
$this->ip_address = ’0.0.0.0′;
}

return $this->ip_address;
}
