I want to display the IP adress of the person currently browsing the site in a page template. How do I do this?

Hi Sander,
You can use this template operator:http://ez.no/community/contribs/template_plugins/ezservervars

wow excellent support, an extension on the fly ;) I could have built this myself but I wondered if there were any preset template variables I didn't know of.
thank you!

this returns i as empty
since the operator works as $_SERVER ..i believe there is something wrong in the script..type on foreach and some others..

@Sander: You are welcome ;) One note here, to avoid issues with view cache you will need to disable view cache for your template and use {cache-blocks} if you will not do it this all your users will see only one IP, as long as you clear view cache.
{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block} {def $server_vars=ezservervars()} {$server_vars['REMOTE_ADDR']} {cache-block} //rest of your tpl code {/cache-block}
@John: Works fine here. Do you have any errors? Did you clear the cache?Have you tried this code in your template?
{def $server_vars=ezservervars()} {$server_vars|attribute( show,1 )}

Follow this steps:
1. put ezservers dir in Exponential/extension 2. enable extension in Setup->Extensions 3. Clear all cache4. put in pagelayout
{def $server_vars=ezservervars()}
{$server_vars['REMOTE_ADDR']}
5. Check your page.
Works fine on Exponential 3.7.2. Are you sure that you followed all steps correctly?
