Hi el,

hmmm... that kind of parse error just means that the PHP code didn't make sense and had a syntax error. The PHP you quoted is definitely odd... if you copied and pasted that directly from a page on the site, could you tell me where it was so I can fix it? Thanks

Anyway, you probably mean something like this instead: (just cut out your first line)

if ( $core_genius->inTimeSpan ( "jan 3 14:30:30 - mar 3 13:30:30" ) )
return 47;


Cheers,
Stephen

The "How MetaMod controls other modules parameters" thing is a very specific function that can allow you to... control module parameters   It's not necessary to use that if you just want to include or not include a module on a page. So please ignore the instructions about the $changes mechanism, and remove the line in your code "$changes->mod(47)" as it is causing an error.

To stack more than one time period, do it this way, with "or":

if ( $core_genius->inTimeSpan ( "jan 3 14:30:30 - mar 3 13:30:30" )
  or $core_genius->inTimeSpan ( "jun 14 21:23:40 - sep 1 23:59:59" ) )
    return 47;

That's all you need.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi,

this code is not valid PHP:

if ( $geoip->region == FR,B3,"Midi-Pyrenees" ) return 181;

I think you're probably looking for this:

if ($geoip->country_code == "FR" and $geoip->region == "B3") return 181;

I guess you looked at the table on this page: http://www.maxmind.com/app/fips10_4 and just took the whole row. The region code is actually just the middle value, and you also need to check the country code (as I did above), since you'll find region "B3" in more than one country.

Hope that makes sense,
Stephen

Hello Stephen

I've tried the code indicated but not works...

In my test, I want to display (permanently) in a same position P :

- a module 261 for visitors from country France (FR), Region Midi-Pyrénées (B3)
- a module 262 for visitors from country France, Region Corse (A5)
- a module C for visitors from others countries/regions (sub-countries)

All rules are the Metamod module's default except those below, the modules to show being in menu affectation "none" as indicated

1-First test:

I've put the code with "simple module position or ID to include" empty

if ($geoip->country_code == "FR" and $geoip->region == "B3") return 261;

if ($geoip->country_code == "FR" and $geoip->region == "A5") return 262;

Result (visitor of in Midi-Pyrénées = me): none module displayed

2-Second test:

I've put the same code with "simple module position or ID to include" including: "261,262"

if ($geoip->country_code == "FR" and $geoip->region == "B3") return 261;

if ($geoip->country_code == "FR" and $geoip->region == "A5") return 262;

Result (visitor of in Midi-Pyrénées = me): both modules 261 and 262 displayed simultaneously.

And I don't know how to insert available code to the condition "a module C for visitors from others countries/regions (sub-countries)"

Can you tell me where is(are) my new error(s)? An example?

These parameters settings seem to be very basic (even for a newbie as me) and I'm now very impatient to use MetamodPro with such settings.

Thanks in advance

Henri

PS: Metamod version = 2.6 - Joomla! 1.5.23

Hello Stephen

Thanks for response!

But the problem is not solved=(...

I had (effectively) an IP adress problem (it was recognized as "unknown"): the provider has solved today

But testing again Metamod the problem remains

I've turned Metamod on debug mode and here are the elements:

- I'm in France , region "Midi-Pyrénées" (B3) near city of Toulouse, with IP as :

AToulouse-652-1-72-167.w2-6.abo.wanadoo.fr
Proxy : no Proxy (or Anonymous Proxy)

- Metamod : position P + menu item (affectation) => A + "all users" + "Quick module id/position include" box=empty +
PHP box = "if ($geoip->country_code == "FR" and $geoip->region == "B3") return 261;"

- Module 261 (AL Eventlist scroller) :  position P + menu item (affectation) => none

> result : none (module not displayed.

The field "Region" appears empty...

I've tried with the only GeoIP country :

- with PHP code : "if ($geoip->country_code == "GB") return 261;" => none module: ok (I've not controlled with British but I can)

with PHP code : "if ($geoip->country_code == "FR") return 261;" => ok module displayed!

I really don't understand what happens!

Can you help me to solve?

I really need to use extension as Metamod (e.g. Metamod Pro) with GeoIP Regions (and cities)...

If necessary, no problem for a commercial help: tell me how. If you want I can also send admin access.

Thanks in advance

Henri
