Hi Guys,

I have a project with several country verisions websites and the client wants to have an default automatic redirect to the correct country based on the IP of the visitor.

Is this something already built in Dynamicweb or should we build something special for this?

Anyone has done this before?

Thanks,


Adrian

Hi Adrian

It is not build in.

The statistics API have something you can use.

Make a reference to Dynamicweb.Compatibility.dll and do like this:

Dim l As New Dynamicweb.StatisticsV3.CountryLookup

l.getCountry("10.0.0.1").getCode = "DK"

HI Adrian,

 

We have developed a module in Portugal to achieve this:

  • It is based in IP ranges for each country (SQL table updated though an CSV)
  • You select which country redirect to which page

 

If you are interested in this, let me know.

Thank you Nicolai, Nuno

We'll try Nicolai's suggestion first. If it doesn't work, I'll take advantage of your offer.

Thanks,

 

Adrian

Hi Hans

You will have to do this custom - using i.e. Maxminds free data and API: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

I am pretty sure there are also hosted javascript versions of this you can use.
