Hi deejayone,

in order to do this you need to install the GeoCityLite database from MaxMind. It's different to the free country database from them. Then you need to enable that at the top of the MetaMod.

Once that's installed, then you can use some special variables in your rules. They are described near the bottom of this page:

http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/configuration

... in the PHP section.

e.g. $geoip->city and $geoip->country_code

so then you can do things like:

if ($geoip->country_code == 'FR' and $geoip->city == 'Paris' ) return XXX; /* replace XXX with module id of the module to include */

It's always good to check the country and city name together, as you never know how many other countries have a town or city by the same name...

Hope that helps,
Stephen

Hi Tomas,

the GeoLiteCity database is not terribly accurate in some countries of the world. If you are in Warsaw at the moment, then you can test out to see what the database has for your IP address, by putting the following into the PHP box:

echo "Current guest:";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($geoip);
echo "</pre>";

Perhaps there's no city given at all, or perhaps it's showing the wrong one. Everything depends on the accuracy of the MaxMind database.

See http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolite_city_accuracy for accuracy information.
It claims about a 60% accuracy rate for Poland, which is not that high

Hope that helps,
Stephen
