Hi Anjo,

The language options aren't going to help you with region selection. There's help text available if you hover over any of these options on the form, and further help in the documentation: http://www.metamodpro.com/chameleon/documentation

To do things based on city/region, you need to code this with some basic PHP.

Of course, first you need to ensure that you have the GeoLiteCity database downloaded (on the configuration page), then enabled in the rule that you're using.

Then in the PHP you can refer to the $geoip variable that contains all the information available to you:

$geoip->country_code   (GB for the United Kingdom)
$geoip->region  (2-letter region code, see all the GB codes on http://www.maxmind.com/app/fips10_4 )
$geoip->city  (full city name, case sensitive, e.g. London)

So you could do something like this:

if ($geoip->country_code == "GB" and $geoip->city == "York") return true;
// then the SUCCEED action will be run for this rule if the user in in York, UK.
// you can put your template changes / redirects in the SUCCEED action.


Hope that helps,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

I am having a problem with this setup.  It works great in the first instance to redirect visitors to the right city area of the website. However, I then need to allow visitors to navigate to other cities within the website by using menu links.

The problem is that the rule keeps picking up visitors location and forcing them to the same city area. Is it possible remove Location variable once visitors are navigating within the website?

Hi, I am trying to find out why the this code no longer works after doing a Geoip update.
if ($geoip->country_code == "GB" and $geoip->city == "Sunderland" || $geoip->city == "Gateshead") return true;

It works with my old Geoip database from 2012 but fails with recent update 2014 which I think is Geoip2. I'm using latest version of Chameleon 2.41

Thanks
Anjo

Hi Stephen,
I clicked on the update link in Chameleon Config urls are:

GeoIP.dat.gz can also be obtained from http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geo … oIP.dat.gz

GeoLiteCity.dat.gz can also be obtained from http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geo … ity.dat.gz

Thanks
Anjo

So Anjo, it's possible that the download of the GeoLite database got corrupted. Try downloading it again, and also make sure that in your Chameleon rule you have told it which one you're using.

Cheers,
Stephen
