Click on the line in the bottom right that says "show more options"<br /> Check "Limit One Entry Per IP"</p> <p>I do not know if this an effective way for me to block duplications. I am signing folks up for an event and some maybe blocked because they share the same computer as a family or in librarys, schools, etc</p> <p>The other question I have about it is is how many folks have static IPs . We have a problem in that the event is almost a year away and some will want to edit their submission. Trying to find a way that allows both submissions to be edited at a later date AND limit duplications may be a bridge too far . . .. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ip-address-graber#post-21745 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 22:07:35 +0000 williamansley 21745@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@hamlingordon: When you are in the form editor, click on the "Form Properties" tab to the right panel, and them on the "show more options" link. Scroll down, if necessary, until you see the section with the heading "Protection &#38; Limit", then look for the "Limit One Entry Per IP" check box. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ip-address-graber#post-21740 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 03:22:57 +0000 hamlingordon 21740@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>i'm using version 4.1 i'm not seeing limit one entry per user settings here is that? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ip-address-graber#post-9419 Sat, 08 May 2010 07:58:42 +0000 AMurray 9419@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>If you need to prevent multiple entries from the same "person" you can use the "Limit One Entry per User" option, which can be switched on in the Form properties. This may not work since several people might use the one PC therefore the same IP. </p> <p>It works by comparing the user's IP address with entries already submitted to check if the IP already exists.</p> <p>As per reply above, you can add the field {ip_address} to the mail sent to "You" in the email options, but exclude it from the user's email (the auto-reply containing the details of the submission).</p> <p>If Machform had the ability to allow users to register and log on, and then submit the form, that would provide a more unique way of identifying multiple entries by one person. </p> <p>A multi-user feature is coming in future release of this product I believe. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ip-address-graber#post-9408 Fri, 07 May 2010 09:11:38 +0000 yuniar 9408@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Actually, MachForm already record the IP address, but it doesn't displayed within the email.</p> <p>If you need to be displayed within the email, simply edit the email content template and insert this code:</p> <pre><code>{ip_address}</code></pre> <p>that would the ip address into your email. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ip-address-graber#post-9398 Thu, 06 May 2010 18:35:25 +0000 Lunbag 9398@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>i want to be able to get the ip address fromt the person filling in the form without them knowing this and get it emailed to me because im getting the same applications filled in and i need to see if its coming form the same pc. can someone help me?<br /> Thanks </p>
