Show calendar based on IP Address accessed

sdetweil

@MMRIZE that is why you need the express api call…

I would make a separate module that has ip in div, not shown, but w id

then call in calendar is document.get…
compare, your way or on cal entries
more synchronous…

MMRIZE

@sdetweil
Yes. I thought a small module with node_helper that could return clients’ ip as a result of REST api call from calendar module.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE and that module calls its own rest call publishes the address in its getDom() result, with id= on div

and then cal module can use synchronous document.getElementsById()

to get that value.

@MMRIZE @Spinster

so the little module is

https://github.com/sdetweil/getip

and it does correctly return the ip address of the client… tested from 4 different systems to the same MM…

Wow, you are quick, you have given me some homework. Will use your code and get back with the result.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

@sdetweil

I tried your code, but find that once I include getip module in config.js, I am not seeing any output for calendar. Is this the expected output. Without getip module, I find that client_ip = document.getElementById("getip is returning null.Please advice

@Spinster
By the way, which client are you using? Electron? Or Browser?

Spinster

@MMRIZE Browser as of now.

I also tried using express ipfilter, but the problem is I don’t know how to use it in module.js, it is throwing error saying ipfilter not known etc

sdetweil

@Spinster well, here is a working example, in addition to the other code already

watch out if using address AND MM host system not included. as it won’t show either…
one could make the ipaddress in cal a list (of ip addresses) similar to what @MMRIZE does…
I don’t like adding the extra block,
just add the var to the thing that matters…
