Display visitor city

Hello, is it possible with your extension to auto display the city name of a visitor ?

For example : Obtenez un devis gratuit d'artisans proche de {city}

Thanks

Re: Display visitor city

Hi Laurent,

yes, you could do this in MetaMod this way:

1 - first make sure you download the GeoLiteCity database and install it
2 - in the MetaMod module make sure you indicate "Enable GeoIP/GeoCity: GeoLite City (free)"
3 - enter the following PHP code in the MetaMod:

$city = $geoip->city;
if ($city != '') echo "Obtenez un devis gratuit d'artisans proche de $city";

I've included a test in there to be certain that GeoLiteCity actually comes up with a city name. In many cases it doesn't, as the library is not particularly accurate in determining city names. So whenever it does come up with one, then it will display the entire message.

Hope that helps,
Stephen
