GeoIP condition

[steveneff]

I have GeoIP installed on my website (not in vbulletin) and want to use a condition based on country

I have put this code in forums/index.php

$efvip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];include('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/geoip.inc');$gi = geoip_open('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/ip/GeoIP.dat',GEOIP_STANDARD);$mygig = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $efvip);$mycountry = array('AL','AZ');

In my forumdisplay template I have tried the following condition but the template gives an error in functions.

<vb:if condition="!in_array($mygig,$mycountry, true)">


Any ideas how I can get this to work?

Try adding this to your code in index.php:

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMDISPLAY', array('mygig' => $mygig, 'mycountry' => $mycountry));

[steveneff]

Still no go, when I try to add the condition in the template I get

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3416

[kh99]

Which version of vb are you running?

[steveneff]

4.1.2 Patch Level 3

I also got a server error with your code

I also got a server error with your code

I tried it and there doesn't seem to be any errors in it, but it does need to be somewhere after global.php is included.

ETA: There is something else you could try instead of adding my code:

<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS['mygig'],$GLOBALS['mycountry'], true)">

[steveneff]

Moving your first code down the page removed the server error but still not liking my condition

With that removed and using your condition I get

Could not find phrase ' The following template conditional expression contains function calls:
GLOBALS('mygig')
GLOBALS('mygig')

[kh99]

Oops - that's because I was being stupid. It should be $GLOBALS[] - I fixed the above code.

[steveneff]

That clears the function calls but gives my original error

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3416

[kh99]

Hmm...and that error goes away when you remove the condtion?

[steveneff]

yes it does.

I've tried it without show guest but still the same.

<vb:if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS['mygig'],$GLOBALS['mycountry'], true)">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><div class="padtop">
stuff to go in here
</div></vb:if></vb:if>

[kh99]

OK, what happens if you try this:

<vb:if condition="!in_array('XX', array('AL', 'AZ'), true)">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><div class="padtop">
stuff to go in here
</div></vb:if></vb:if>


or this:

<vb:if condition="!in_array('AL', array('AL', 'AZ'), true)">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><div class="padtop">
stuff to go in here
</div></vb:if></vb:if>

[steveneff]

They both parse, the second one does it's job ok

[kh99]

OK - if you still have the preRegister() call in there, what does this do:

<vb:if condition="!in_array($mygig, array('AL', 'AZ'), true)">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><div class="padtop">
stuff to go in here
</div></vb:if></vb:if>


(I guess it will depend on if your country is one of AL or AZ - if it isn't, you could hard-code it in index.php).

[steveneff]

parse OK but doesn't work, I changed AZ to GB so I can see if it works.

[kh99]

Well, OK, I don't know. Seems like maybe it's not seeing the variables for some reason.

If you only want to use that ip check in the forumdisplay template, maybe try moving your code to a plugin using hook forumdisplay_complete.

[steveneff]

You mean this code

$efvip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];include('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/geoip.inc');$gi = geoip_open('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/ip/GeoIP.dat',GEOIP_STANDARD);$mygig = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $efvip);$mycountry = array('AL','AZ','BA','BD','BG','BW','CD','EE','EG' ,'ET','FI','KW','KE','KP','KR','LB','LC','LR','LV' ,'MA','MT','MU','NG','NP','PH','RS','SK','SL','TN' ,'UY','VG','ZM','ZW');

Still no go, what a pig

[kh99]

Maybe this (assuming you don't use the country code elsewhere in the template): In a plugin using hook forumdisplay_complete:


$efvip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
include('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/geoip.inc');
$gi = geoip_open('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/ip/GeoIP.dat',GEOIP_STANDARD);
$mygig = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $efvip);
$mycountry = array('AL','AZ','BA','BD','BG','BW','CD','EE','EG' ,'ET','FI','KW','KE','KP','KR','LB','LC','LR','LV' ,'MA','MT','MU','NG','NP','PH','RS','SK','SL','TN' ,'UY','VG','ZM','ZW');

$show['in_country'] = $show['guest'] AND in_array($mygig, $mycountry);



then in the template:

<vb:if condition="$show[in_country]"><div class="padtop">
stuff to go in here
</div></vb:if>

[steveneff]

No still nothing

[kh99]

Ah, OK...maybe I was wrong - maybe the code you're getting back from geoip_country_code_by_addr() isn't what you expect? What happens if you set $mygig to a country code? Also, you could put

{vb:raw GLOBALS.mygig}


in the template somewhere (not inside the if).

[steveneff]

Sorry for the long delay, had a major brain mail function and wiped my forumhome template. Just got the thing back up and running.

I set $mygig to GBbut no change.

with raw globals in the template it displays my country code GB

I think it's working but not sure why.

hook
$efvip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
include('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/geoip.inc');
$gi = geoip_open('/home/myaccount/public_html/geo/ip/GeoIP.dat',GEOIP_STANDARD);
$mygig = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $efvip);
$mycountry=array('AL','AZ','BA','BD','BG','BW','CD ','EE','EG','ET','FI','KW','KE','KP','KR','LB','LC ','LR','LV','MA','MT','MU','NG','NP','PH','RS','SK ','SL','TN','UY','VG','ZM','ZW');

$show['in_country'] = !in_array($mygig,$mycountry);

forumdisplay
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<vb:if condition="$show[in_country]">
<div class="padtop">
stuff to go here
</div>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

Yes, it does work.

Thank you
