Tags

Geo location add-on which uses the geoPlugin API to attempt to identify location information based on IP addresses.

Summary

This add-on provides seven EE tags to retrieve geo location data based upon a website visitor’s IP address.

Bot detection

The add-on will filter bots by default which will stop excessive calls to the Geo Location API. Use the detect_bots=“yes|no” parameter to control this along with bot_action=“silent|error” and bot_error_message=“No Bots allowed” parameters to control bot detection behaviour.

This works very well. I had a little trouble at first due to slightly cryptic documentation. I only wish I had an option to upgrade the database it uses.
