Visitor Logs: How to NOT log my own IP?
I thought I’d read a forum post about how to do this long ago, but have searched under everything I could think of with no success. So, I’ll ask…
Is there a way to set Textpattern to ignore logging for my own IP address when I visit the site? Like most DSL users I’m supposed to have a dynamic IP address, but it hasn’t changed in three years. So If I could find a way to ignore logging from a specific IP I’d be happy.
TIA for any help!
Ooops… should mention I’m using TXP 4.0.8

I bookmarked it at the time, here it is :) Don’t know if it’s still helpful though…

Thanks, Els! I’ll give it a try and let you know if it still works in 4.0.8.

I tried Sencer’s code and for some reason it didn’t work for me, but there was another thread that suggested this:
In the /textpattern/include/txp_log.php file, look for (line 55):
safe_delete(‘txp_log’, “time < date_sub(now(), interval $expire_logs_after day)”);
Right after it:
safe_delete(“txp_log”, “`host` LIKE ’192.168.1.23’”);
Substitute 192.168.1.23 with your IP address.

Hmm… thanks Bert, I tried this but my own visits are not removed from the logs…? (and yes, I’m sure I entered the right IP)

OMG! I didn’t even have time to try those other suggestions yet and Voila! there’s a plug in. Cool beans, Jukka… and thanks!

Els,
I just remembered that I have Use DNS? set to No, so that’s why the host field has an IP address, instead of a domain name. Instead of ‘host’ in the example, you can use ‘ip’, but Gocom’s plugin is the better solution at this point.
