Information about the client
The extension geoIP displays you some knowledge about the position of the client. You can get the following information based on the IP of the client:
- Country code
- Country name
- Region
- ZIP
- Longtitude / Latitude
- DMA Code
- Area Code
There is also a small API within the extension to be able to use this information in your own extension. There are quite some possibilities like:
- Prefill forms on your website for registration, guestbook or similar things.
- Use/Display the current position of the client on a map like Google Maps, take a look at rgsimplegooglemaps
- Positionspecific ads
- Display just some user information
To get all this information the free DB of http://www.maxmind.com is used.
