<p>This plugin records the IP address of the original post author when a post first gets created.</p>
<p>The admin listing of posts is amended with a new “Author IP” column that shows the IP address of the author who first saved the post.</p>
<p>The plugin is unable to provide IP address information for posts that were created prior to the use of this plugin.</p>

<h3>Hooks</h3>
<p>The plugin is further customizable via four filters. Typically, code making use of filters should ideally be put into a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin (which is beyond the scope of this readme to explain).</p>
<p><strong>c2c_show_post_author_ip_column (filter)</strong></p>
<p>The ‘c2c_show_post_author_ip_column’ filter allows you to determine if the post author IP column should appear in the admin post listing table. Your hooking function can be sent 1 argument:</p>
<p>Argument :</p>
<ul>
<li>$show_column (bool) Should the column be shown? Default true.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * Don't show the post author IP column except to admins.
 *
 * @param bool $show_column Should the column be shown? Default true.
 * @return bool
 */
function post_author_ip_column_admin_only( $show ) {
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
        $show = false;
    }
    return $show;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_show_post_author_ip_column', 'post_author_ip_column_admin_only' );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>c2c_get_post_author_ip (filter)</strong></p>
<p>The ‘c2c_get_post_author_ip’ filter allows you to customize the value stored as the post author IP address. Your hooking function can be sent 2 arguments:</p>
<p>Arguments :</p>
<ul>
<li>$ip (string)   The post author IP address.</li>
<li>$post_id (int) The post ID.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * Store all IP addresses from local subnet IP addresses as the same IP address.
 *
 * @param string $ip      The post author IP address.
 * @param int    $post_id The post ID.
 * @return string
 */
function customize_post_author_ip( $ip, $post_id ) {
    if ( 0 === strpos( $ip, '192.168.' ) ) {
        $ip = '192.168.1.1';
    }
    return $ip;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_get_post_author_ip', 'customize_post_author_ip', 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>c2c_get_current_user_ip (filter)</strong></p>
<p>The ‘c2c_get_current_user_ip’ filter allows you to customize the current user’s IP address, as used by the plugin. Your hooking function can be sent 1 argument:</p>
<p>Argument :</p>
<ul>
<li>$ip (string)   The post author IP address.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * Overrides localhost IP address.
 *
 * @param string $ip      The post author IP address.
 * @param int    $post_id The post ID.
 * @return string
 */
function customize_post_author_ip( $ip, $post_id ) {
    if ( 0 === strpos( $ip, '192.168.' ) ) {
        $ip = '192.168.1.1';
    }
    return $ip;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_get_post_author_ip', 'customize_post_author_ip', 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>c2c_post_author_ip_allowed (filter)</strong></p>
<p>The ‘c2c_post_author_ip_allowed’ filter allows you to determine on a per-post basis if the post author IP should be stored. Your hooking function can be sent 3 arguments:</p>
<p>Arguments :</p>
<ul>
<li>$allowed (bool) Can post author IP be saved for post? Default true.</li>
<li>$post_id (int)  The post ID.</li>
<li>$ip (string)    The post author IP address.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * Don't bother storing localhost IP addresses.
 *
 * @param bool   $allowed Can post author IP be saved for post? Default true.
 * @param int    $post_id The post ID.
 * @param string $ip      The post author IP address.
 * @return string
 */
function disable_localhost_post_author_ips( $allowed, $post_id, $ip ) {
    if ( $allowed && 0 === strpos( $ip, '192.168.' ) ) {
        $allowed = false;
    }
    return $allowed;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_post_author_ip_allowed', 'disable_localhost_post_author_ips', 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
