[Brian]

I have just updated the Jamroom Marketplace Modules section with a new FREE Jamroom Module - jrGeoLocate:

http://www.jamroom.net/index.php?m=td_market&o=browse&category=Jamroom+4+Modules

This new module allows you to get the approximate location of the viewing user based on a lookup of their IP Address. The module is super easy to install (simply unzip it into your Jamroom directory), and once installed you'll have access to a new Template function called {jr_geo_locate}:

http://www.jamroom.net/Jamroom4_jr_geo_locate

Which can be embedded into any Skin template. Make sure and check out the linked document for the different options you can use.

If anyone has any questions about the new module, feel free to post here, otherwise I hope you find it useful!

Thanks!

- Brian

I added it to my jr_index_online.tpl
But it lists every user as being in the same city (even though they are not)

Code

<br> <font size="1" face="Arial">{if $NUM_USERS_ONLINE < 25}   {foreach from=$USERS item="_usr"}     <a href="{$_usr.ARTIST_URL}"> <img src="{$_usr.USER_IMAGE_URL}&height=30&width=30&skin=Nova" alt="{$_usr.USER_NICKNAME}" class="m_outline"></a>     &nbsp;<a href="{$_usr.ARTIST_URL}">{$_usr.USER_NICKNAME}</a> {jr_geo_locate}<br>   {/foreach} {else}   {jr_lang id="116" default="Artists"}: {$NUM_ARTISTS_ONLINE}<br>   {jr_lang id="117" default="Fans"}: {$NUM_MEMBERS_ONLINE}<br>   {jr_lang id="188" default="Visitors"}: {$NUM_VISITORS_ONLINE} {/if}</font>

What did I muck up?

Thanks!
...Bill

I think you are using this incorrectly, or maybe not understanding how it is used. Note to that due to "caching" you may have a problem, and would not want to include it in templates that are going to be cached.

The {jr_geo_locate} module will report the geo location of the VIEWING user - i.e. the person who's browser is looking at your page - based on where you have it in your template, it looks like you are trying to get it to show the location of EACH user on your site - it's not going to do that (at least not now - maybe in a future version). So for example, create a small template called "geo.tpl" in your active skin directory, with this inside:

Code

{jr_geo_locate}

Then load that page up: http://yoursite.com/index.php?t=geo

It will show you YOUR location. If someone else viewed that same page, it would show them THEIR location (not yours).

Let me know if that makes sense.

Hope this helps!

- Brian

Basically yes - but then you can use that info as the search_string for Jamroom Ranking System calls..

Hope this helps!

You would use it as a parameter, so you could get gigs in city X, country X, region X or post code X. Or bands in... Or store items available in...

So, I would create a call, with the parameter, and I would get a list, of cities etc., that viewers to the site came from...

Would artists have access to this call..

Hi
This module is what I was looking for, thanks Brian.
Just I don't exactly understand where to put the files
there are two include.php and function.jr_geo_locate.php
Can you tell me where to put them?
Thanks

[djmerlyn]

There is a file in the download with instructions for installation which you can read. It looks like this;

Quote:

Installing the jrGeoLocate module is very easy - simply upload the contents of the downloaded archive into your Jamroom directory, and you're set. Once installed, you will have access to a new Template function: {jr_geo_locate} That can be used to get the physical location (approximate) of the viewing user. You can either display this information, or store it and use to generate lists from the Jamroom Ranking system based on location. For full defaults on the {jr_geo_locate} template function, make sure and check out the documentation: http://www.jamroom.net/Jamroom4_jr_geo_locate If you run into any issues installing or setting up, make sure and post to the Jamroom User Support forum: http://www.jamroom.net/phpBB2/index.php and we can get you fixed up quickly Thanks again - The Jamroom Team

So... login to your site via ftp, navigate to your root jamroom folder, and upload the modules folder in the archive you downloaded and unzipped...easy easy
