Well, it seems that UDT can be processed inside the template, because it's working perfect. Thank you a lot.
One other question. Right now it shows a 2 letter country code, what should I do in order to convert those into a full name, for example "US" = United States.
Thanks again for your help.

@mr.bacan - thanks for confirming that the UDT works inside the template - that is good to know for future use.
Regarding your question - try this:
Change the UDT to this -
Code: Select all
global $gCms;
$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
$myarray = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")));
$smarty->assign('country_code', $myarray['geoplugin_countryCode']);
$smarty->assign('country_name', $myarray['geoplugin_countryName']);
As per the documentation at
http://www.geoplugin.com/webservices/php, the country name will now be in the $country_name smarty variable.
Let me know how this works.

You are GENIUS!
It's working great, showing the complete country name.
Once again, thanks for your extremely quick help.

@debim5767 - This is a forum for CMS Made Simple and not for Joomla, so you may not find much here for your specific CMS. Having said that, it is fairly easy to adapt the code included earlier into something that can be used for any PHP-based system. Something like this could work as long as you have it on the very top of the script - of course you'll have to adapt it for the specifics of Joomla.
Code: Select all
$myarray = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")));
switch($myarray['geoplugin_countryCode']) {
case 'IN': header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/index_india.html' )
break;
case 'AU': header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/index_australia.html' )
break;
...so on a so forth for other countries...
}
As mentioned earlier the list of country codes is available at
http://www.theodora.com/country_digraphs.html
Hope this helps.
