Hi, Thanks for your reply

As you said I need something based on the IP location of the visitor :)

Its a very useful thing coz sometimes we want pop ups to be shown for specific countries (ips) and thats the reason that I need this kind of mod.

its made for other CMSs.

Thanks in advanced

vBulletin is NOT a CMS it HAS a CMS though.

You would need to request in the correct section for this type of stuff :)

you can do it your self without any mod,

you'll have to add 1 script into your header (example):

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(ul_country);</script>

then upload a php file to your forum directory
(sample of the php file):

<?php
$ul_country_code = $_GET['ul_country_code'];
if($ul_country_code){
switch ($ul_country_code) {
//---------------------------------------------------------------
case 'US':
case 'CA':
case 'MX': $ad1 = "xxxxxx"; //MODIFY
break;
//---------------------------------------------------------------
case 'GB': $ad2= "xxxxxxx"; //MODIFY
break;
//---------------------------------------------------------------
case 'AU':
case 'NZ': $ad3= "xxxxxxx"; //MODIFY
break;
//---------------------------------------------------------------
default : $ad= "xxxxxxxx"; //MODIFY
break;
}
$location = "Location: ".$ad;
header($location);
}

?>


then you'll have to put something like this in your ad HTML:

<script type="text/javascript">
phppage = "http://YOURWEBSITE.COM/main_ul.php";
if (ul_country_code) { window.location.href = phppage + "?" + "ul_country_code=" + ul_country_code; }
else { window.location.href = phppage + "?" + "ul_country_code=" + "default"; }
</script>


The above is not a functional method and it will not work with you as posted, it needs to be modified and understood, I just wanted to give you an idea where to start.

here is a Link (http://www.userlocation.com) that might help you more.

Good Luck.

You could break the ToS of Google Adsense if you're using Adsense Ads though. Adverts on a forum are meant to home in on what the user browses on his computer.
