Hi stblink,

I can't give an exact date for release as my time to work on it is a bit pressured at the moment. I have the basic Chameleon functions working fine, but there's a lot of testing and backend layout stuff to do before I let it loose on the public! Ideally I'd like to combine it with the J2.5 version, but that might be more effort than it's worth (but then updates take twice the work... can't win!).

1 - yes, you could redirect people hitting the front page from Brazil to a particular URL, You do have to be quite careful about how you set this up so people don't get in an infinite loop – so either you only send people once per session (using a session variable or cookie to remember that you already did a redirection), or you only redirect people who hit certain pages.

2 - I have never tested that function with Falang, so it's hard to know how that will work. Is Falang free and available on Joomla 3.0 yet? I'm happy to test this and advise but easier when it's free or if you can provide me a copy.

Best regards,
Stephen

I confirm that with falang, i don't need to create menu items for each language.

I will be purchasing Chameleon J3.0 when it's available, however there is a "temporary" solution which is a script placed on the root folder to do this like www.ip2nation.com .

The problem here is that i heard that placing websites inside folders is bad for page rank...

Sure.

Anyway i believe i have found a solution to redirect users to url based on their ip. But it's a hack (very small one) so i will still be waiting for Chameleon when it's J3.0, and according to your priorities that i fully understand.

thanks

Thanks Stephen,

1 - Yes i will use session, but what you say here is all accomplished using Chameleon PRO without knowledge of php code correct, including the establish session?

1.1 - Also related to point 1, how does chamaleon interact with Falang ? i mean.. i will be redirecting brasil users to mysite.com/index.php?lang=br but what happens if user decides to change the language threw Joomla switcher plugin after hitting the page? it changes the language and nothing more happens correct? As i understood... Chameleon only reacts when the page is hit first?

1.2 - Does Chameleon allows me to don't make any language redirection if a cookie is already set(meaning if the user has already visited the site) ?

2 - I will be using more the Geoip functionality of Chameleon, there is no additional costs for the geoip database?

thanks
