Django - How can I save users ipaddress in admin log?

Question

Hi,

I am using django auth module.Now,when user logs in I want to record users ipaddress in the admin_log table.How can I do this?

thanks

Answer 1

Create a middleware, that will be called after AuthenticationMiddleware is called (it must be spcified after the latter in settings.py). In this middleware retrieve ip address from HttpRequest.META attribute (it would be probably request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']) and add this information to the admin_log table. But is admin_log exactly the place where you would like to store this information?
