• SilverStripe 3.2
• geoip2/geoip2 2.0

Using modern GeoIP lookup mechanisms, this SilverStripe module makes available the coordinates, postal code, city, state, country, content, timezone, organization, and ISP to the SilverStripe instance and can open a frontend API for static websites to take advantage of. It can be extended with GeoIP drivers to provide additional or custom contextual data.

composer require marketo/silverstripe-regional

The current module uses a default path for the GeoIP database this is currently set to /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb This can be changed via the yml config a example is below. A model admin exists called GeoRegion which adds user defined fields to the result that is returned. It retrieves the details to add via the country code which needs to match a country code in GeoRegion.

IPInfoCache:
  GeoPath: '/your/own/location/yourdb.mmdb'

You will neeed to retrive a databse for the module to work with this will need to be stored on the server and you may need to set the location of GeoPath under IPInfoCache in your config yml file. The free databases can be downloaded from here https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php

The curent endpoint returns a JSON object giving location details for the IP address
