vasmasal Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Is there any add-ons on Geotargeting? I would like to make targeted information for different regions depending of geo-position of users (by IP and so on). I need under each product a relevant information is been shown regarding to the user's region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Are the users logged in (you know their country) or are they guests (people just browsing). If logged in; get users country, display relevant message If not logged in; there are databases (and APIs) of IP <-> country, so do that and display the message. Potential problems; APIs are generally rate limited. If you have a busy site this could be problematic. Databases are large and go out of date. I'd suggest; logged in; easy, take the country, display the message not logged in; display all available messages for all countries ---or--- allow not logged in people to select their country which then shows the relevant message.

Sean M Clancy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I am also looking at specific geotargeting on separate IP's - It seems to be a very manual process... Any automated generators out there? Quote Sean M Clancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 There is already code in place to, sort of, determine the language to be used. I say sort of because it depends on a couple of things and is not always accurate. I use code in my View Counter addon that determines the country more closely. But it uses a free IP database and that database is not complete or updated too often. You can pay for a full version but I don't think the cost is justified. Both of these methods will work to a limited degree. Both would also require additional code changes to do what you want. I don't care for making a customer click a popup. That seems a non-user-friendly option, though such popups are common nowadays.

♥bruyndoncx Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I really prefer a separate country and language selection like all big brands do nowadays Quote KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
