Joomla IP to Country
Overview :

Joomla Ip To Country (JIP2C) is an IP resolvation package for Joomla popular content management system. It comes with a lot of new features and fully customizable capabilities. In addition to country determination facility and flag support, the new release has redirection future and can easily adapted with Joom!Fish, popular language management system for Joomla. Thus, you can redirect your visitor to the corresponding local page automatically.

Joomla IP To Country new version (1.1) has been released with a lot of useful features. It has now Joom!Fish support and can cooperate with other Joomla extensions easily.

How It Works?

JIP2C consists of a system bot (bot_iptocountry), a module to show results to the visitor and a component to insert IP data to the Joomla database. The core element, bot_iptocountry, retrieves IP data from database for Ip resolvation process and decides visitors country, then stores data in two global variables (ipToCountry_cname and ipToCountry_iso) in order to make them usable for Joomla IP To Country module (mod_iptocountry) and other Joomla elements later. JIP2C bot also stores Country Name (cname) and Country Code (iso) information in a cookie so as not to query database again and again whenever same visitor loads the page.

Features :

- Showing visitor’s country, flag and IP on frontpage thanks to JIP2C module
- Creating dynamic URL’s according to the visitor’s country
- Redirecting visitor to a dynamic URL (eg. yoursite.com/{lang}.php)
- Redirecting visitor from main page, all pages or a specific page (User Defined)
- Changing site language corresponding to the visitor’s country (You need to have Joom!Fish component)
- Cooperating with other Joomla extensions (See ‘For Joomla Developers’ section on project page).

** The new version of JIP2C will be ready soon.

really it is a great tool to have and

if there is an extra option to ban certain IP, so that such banned group will be directed to some specific page it would be great.

Thanx for such usefull tool development and please update the IP address database regularly.


Owner's reply:
Thanks for your review, the new version of JIP2C will be ready soon and it will have IP banning and IP data editing features with a useful component interface.

This is a great idea and works most of the time! But it picks up the proxy ip rather than the real ip address in some cases. Is there a way to get around this?


Owner's reply:
There is no way to determine real IP address of visitor if he/she is surfing via a proxy server. Because proxy servers is used for hiding real idendity including IP address, browser, OS etc :). But it may be possible to determine whether visitors comes from a proxy server or not comparing visitors IP with known proxy IPs.

Just on snag, you state Joomlafish compatible, which it only allows translation of module title block, but how does one get the other post and pre text translated???

Great addon, just need the mod to have full translation compatibilities...


Owner's reply:
Hi icwebmaster,

Joomla IP ToCountry is not a translation tool, it is a plugin to determine visitor's country and has the ability to force Joomfish to change site language according to the visitor's country. As you say, Joomfish has not the ability to translate site content automatically, but you can translate your content by yourself thanks to Joomfish. Thanks for your suggestions.

This worked as advertised the first time. by gordonbell, December 2, 2006
