Hi abugabby,

I just checked the accuracy ratings for Jordan for the GeoLiteCIty database:

http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolite_city_accuracy

The ratings are 59% correctly resolved within 25 miles of destination, and 88% correct if excluding ones that don't have city data at all.

This is quite low, although among the higher rates for any other countries - e.g. higher than the UK.

Back to your question: if you want to identify people by city, then I would suggest doing it by city name rather than by latitude/longitude. If the city name is incorrect or missing, then the lat/long values will also be wrong.

Therefore I suggest doing the following sort of rule:

(download the GeoLite City database, uncompress it and install it in /geoip, and enable GeoLiteCity in your MetaMod)

if ( $fromCountryId == 'JO' ) {
  if ( $geoip->city == 'Amman' ) return XXX;
  if ( $geoip->city == 'Az Zarqa' ) return YYY;
  if ( $geoip->city == 'Irbid' ) return ZZZ;
// etc
}

// replace XXX, YYY, ZZZ etc with the module id to show for each city.


Bear in mind that this is not going to be very accurate. Is there some way you could get people to enter their own city name if the code above does not get it right?

Cheers,
Stephen
