IP2Location Tags

ཞིབ་བརྗོད།

IP2Location Tags helps you to serve specific content to website visitors based on geographic location for different countries and regions via IP address lookup.

This plugin provides a relatively easy way to detect visitors’ IP addresses and translate it into geolocation information, and then keep visitors better engaged with localized information or content that’s most relevant to them.

Key Features

    • Country code

I was wondering why I couldn't get it to work within CF7 forms (yes, I know how to allow third-party shortcodes in CF7). Out of curiosity I looked at source code as the shortcode syntax looked unusual. Thing is, I searched over the whole plugin dir for add_shortcode and there wasn't a single match... looking closer, for some reason the developer decided it to be a good idea to roll their own shortcode system which just won't work at the same places as regular shortcodes. Regular shortcodes would have been the perfect solution to make this work reliably, but somehow that was off the table. And just to be clear: This is an issue purely of this plugin. Its sister plugin IP2Location Country Blocker works great, which speaks for the provider's database.

I needed to create a growing zone app where I would use the visitor's zipcode to associate with a growing zone. This plugin allows for me to fetch the zipcode from the visitor's ip address. Though it is not well stated, you will need to have access to your database, and you will need to create a table in your database and import the IP2LOCATION csv file to the new table. You will also need to have access to the server via FTP or cPanel to upload the appropriate bin and csv files. You may also need to periodically update the database, because it will probably not update on its own unless you pay for those services. There are ways to programmically have the database be updated automatically, but you will need to know what you are doing. Setting all of this up is not for the amateur, but once it is set up, it is awesome!
