GEO IP support

Post by mazhar » Tue May 12, 2009 5:09 am

This sample integration makes use of http://geoiptool.com/ service to find out the GEO information about customer. In order to install package, first extract zip file and then place files into your website folder in very same directory structure. Once you are finished with installation, you will see a details link near customer IP address on your vieworder.aspx page. Holding mouse over details link will bring a pop up with customers GEO information. Please check screen shots

Works great! Thanks for the add-on.

Does the flag image work currently? I'm assuming it's returned with the Geo request but it's trying to pull the flag image from my domain at /flags/countryname


Not really important; just curious.


Thanks again!
Mike

Also some scripts are available here
http://geoiptool.com/en/webtools/
You can place those scripts into your store scriptlets to let your customer now what is their location.

Do you have a "GEO IP support" update for 7.0.5?

I had an issue come up the other day and others using this may have seen the same thing. It seems that the site changed some of the table code so when trying to hover over to lookup the IP info, an error would be returned.

To fix, I had to change line 33 in the /App_Code/GeoLocationHelper.cs from this:

Code: Select all

int startIndex = resultPage.IndexOf("<table width=\"300\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tbl_style\">");
to this:

Code: Select all

int startIndex = resultPage.IndexOf("<table width=\"297\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tbl_style\">");

The only change is that the table width is now 297 instead of 300.


Hope this helps others who may be using this nice little addon.


-Mike
