Getting visitors country from their IP

Hi,

How could we have the country field pre-populated with the visitor's country guessed from their IP?

Thank you

Probably with JS on the registration page that changes the fields value based off the results of the JS. There's several ways to do this with JS or jQuery. CB Auto Actions can be used to add JS or jQuery to the registration page using a Code action on the registration form display trigger. Several examples below.

You might be able to use PHP in a code action as well if you handled setting the reference variables under the Parameters tab of the action for the trigger then modified the reference user object to set the fields value. For onBeforeRegisterFormDisplay the reference and user object variable would be Variable 1. Then in your PHP code for example you could modify that reference user object as follows.

What would you choose? PHP, JS or jQuery.

We intend to hide the country field from the reg form, in the same time save the user's country and let them choose later on edit.

Thank you.

I wouldn't bother putting it on registration at all in that case. I'd act on the after registration trigger using PHP to do all of that behind the scenes then just store it to the user object.

I think this is too big for us unless you can give us some more guidance please.

Beyond the below initial Code action setup no I can't help you any further. We do not provide custom coding here. Only simple examples.

Global
Triggers: onAfterUserRegistration
Type: Code
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Action
Method: PHP

You'd then write the code to find their country and store the result in their CB user object (as a field value).
