Integrate with WP Engine GeoIP?

[Eyal Fitoussi]

HI Mike,
The script below is not tested but I based it on the information of the link you provided me with. Add the script below to the functions.php file:

function gmw_default_user_address( $gmw ) { $address = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_CITY' ).' ' .getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_REGION' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME' ); $gmw['ul_address'] = $address; return $gmw; } add_filter( 'gmw_gmpt_default_form_values' , 'gmw_default_user_address' );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

function gmw_default_user_address( $gmw ) {   $address = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_CITY' ).' ' .getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_REGION' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME' ); $gmw['ul_address'] = $address;   return $gmw; } add_filter( 'gmw_gmpt_default_form_values' , 'gmw_default_user_address' );

I hope that helps

Thanks, Eyal, but if I’m not using Users or any of the buddypress addons, will this work for the default address? As a not developer, this functionality is ideal especially if you are trying to take advantage of WP Engine’s caching.

It should work without any add-ons. The ul_address value is the current address of the visitor. Regardless if it is a member or not.

That makes sense but it’s hard to tell if it works or not because the data from mobile while NOT using wifi, shows crazy data. In my last test, it’s showing Cali but the geo pin is showing NJ.

I see now.
I forgot to add the coordinates to the function. Replace the previous function with the one below and try again:

function gmw_default_user_address( $gmw ) { $address = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_CITY' ).' ' .getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_REGION' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME' ); $gmw['ul_address'] = $address; $gmw['ul_lat'] = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_LATITUDE' ); $gmw['ul_lng'] = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_Longitude' ); return $gmw; } add_filter( 'gmw_gmpt_default_form_values' , 'gmw_default_user_address' );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

function gmw_default_user_address( $gmw ) {   $address = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_CITY' ).' ' .getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_REGION' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE' ).' '.getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME' ); $gmw['ul_address'] = $address; $gmw['ul_lat']    = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_LATITUDE' ); $gmw['ul_lng']     = getenv( 'HTTP_GEOIP_Longitude' );   return $gmw; } add_filter( 'gmw_gmpt_default_form_values' , 'gmw_default_user_address' );

AWESOME! This is wonderful! Now if WP Engine and those devs would be able to get a more accurate address from the cell towers, it would be awesome! I love this! This is great, thanks Eyal!
