Easy Geo WP plugin

[TheShortStack]

Hi there,

Does anyone else use this?

Can you you let me know the PHP code that I need to insert into the page to get it working?

Cheers,

[Mike]

Are you talking about my plugin?

[TheShortStack]

Yes, I guess I am!

[Mike]

Well, to use in a template, do something like this:

<?php if($country=='US') : ?>

US CONTENT HERE

<?php else : ?>

EVERY OTHER COUNTRY HERE

<?php endif; ?>

This, of course, would work with any country that you wanted to target. Let's say you wanted to show one banner to Americans (in dollars), one to UK visitors (in pounds), and one in Euros (to everyone else). You would do something like this:

<?php if($country=='US') : ?>

US CONTENT HERE

<?php elseif($country=='UK') : ?>

UK CONTENT HERE

<?php else : ?>

EVERY OTHER COUNTRY HERE

<?php endif; ?>

Hope this helps.

Brilliant - thanks Mike!

Where can I get my grubby little paws on this plugin?

Yeah, the plugin has been in beta forever. I use it on all of my sites but I haven't really received any feedback from some of the PAP (r.i.p.) members who I sent this to months ago.

The plugin allows for both template geotargeting, as well as in content geotargeting via the use of country tags. I'll be more than happy to give it any member here as long as they realize it's in beta and give me some feedback when using it.

There are other options for doing this without the in content part, also.

Hi Mike,

Just to follow up on this, I've activated the plugin, and used the PHP that you mentioned above, but it doesn't look as though the $country variable is being populated.

I'm not quite sure why ...

[Mike]

Try replacing this code

<?php if($country=='US') : ?>

With this code

<?php global $country; if($country=='US') : ?>

Still the same problem I'm afraid.

If you look at bestpokerbonus.co.uk, I've used an echo command above the first table on the left.

It should echo ("Country:".$country);

As you can see, the string comes out fine but it still looks as though the $country variable isn't being populated.
