Search user by IP or paypal email

Blesta has no knowledge of what email is stored in paypal, and payments could be made from multiple accounts.  That being said, if the paypal email is the same one that is recorded in Blesta the smart search or client search will support searching on it.  As for IP, users may login from multiple IPs.  If we were to try and implement IP search how would you envision it working?  Perhaps if the user had ever logged in from the given IP?

We do store the PayPal Payer email for the transaction now I believe, would a transaction search pull that up @Jono

Unfortunately this is stored in the transactions.reference_id field which is not currently included in the transactions search.

Do you see any reason we shouldn't search those fields in a transaction search? I know we added the reference_id after the search was originally written, but it's a field we should probably be searching.

It is not so easy to create multiply paypal accounts, that why we could make blacklist of abusive users paypal accs, so they can't create more accounts. Regarding to IP, yes You can use other IP, but abusers often doesn't change them. It would also help in finding customer, that was seen on website monitoring like analytics or matomo.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. CORE-3573 has been completed for 4.10, which allows for searching the reference_id column for transactions, which contains the PayPal payer's email address.

But it sounds like you want the ability to ban users based on PayPal account or IP address? That sounds like a different feature entirely. You can make an official request at https://requests.blesta.com

Poul, I'm talking about only searching, when 4.10 will be released?
