New Maxmind GeoIP Implementation for Typo3

January 02, 2009


 

I think a demonstration would say much more than what I could write about it. So what follows is the Maxmind GeoIP extension for TYPO3 in action.

Country name: 
Country name: 
City name: 
Region: 
Metro code: 
Area code: 
Latitude: 
Longitude: 
Postal code: 

This extension is really simple and relies on mod-geoip, an Apache module available from Maxmind which works in conjunction with Maxmind's various GeoIP databases.

The reason I use mod-geoip for this extension is because it runs much faster than the available PHP modules that can be used to query a Maxmind database.

Well, this is just a first look at this geoip extension and I think I'll play around with a bit to test it out before uploading it to the repository.

Netdip.com is an excellent web site that's powered by TYPO3 and other great open source software. Netdip.com is also a fat free alternative to ice cream.
