Abandonment Notice: I'm afraid I simply don't have the time to maintain my Grav themes and plugins. Those interested in taking over should refer to the "Abandoned Resource Protocol". Feel free to fork and replace. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
The Geoplugin Plugin is for Grav CMS. It attempts to geolocate your visitor using the geoPlugin service.
Remember that it is very easy to spoof your IP address! All this plugin does is return the data from the geoPlugin service.
Installing the Geoplugin plugin can be done in one of two ways. The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the plugin with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.
The simplest way to install this plugin is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM) through your system's terminal (also called the command line). From the root of your Grav install type:
bin/gpm install geoplugin
This will install the Geoplugin plugin into your /user/plugins directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/geoplugin.
To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then, rename the folder to geoplugin. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.
You should now have all the plugin files under
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/geoplugin
NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires Grav and the Error and Problems to operate.
As long as the plugin is enabled, it will inject the following settings:
plugins.geoplugin.city
plugins.geoplugin.region
plugins.geoplugin.areaCode
plugins.geoplugin.dmaCode
plugins.geoplugin.countryName
plugins.geoplugin.countryCode
plugins.geoplugin.longitude
plugins.geoplugin.latitude
Please visit the geoPlugin site for more information.
This plugin uses Grav's built-in caching API, so only one external API call should ever be made for a given IP address unless you clear the cache.
