This plugin converts visitor IP into country, city, latitude, and longitude using IP2Location database.

You can download IP2Location database from http://lite.ip2location.com (Free) or http://www.ip2location.com (Commercial).

Please change the path in /plugins/IP2Location/IP2Location.php to point the correct path of your IP2Location database BIN file.

Download the plugin here:

Hi hexasoft,
thanks for the nice plugin! Would it be possible to share it on Github? This way, people could contribute and e.g. provide translations for your plugin.

Short review:

In line 56 you use:

$record = $loc->lookup($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], IP2Location::ALL);

to lookup the IP and location. It is better to use $visitorInformation['location_ip'] since it contains the true IP address. REMOTE_ADDR might be a proxy or something else and not the real IP of the visitor. location_ip will also be masked if AnonymizeIP is used.

Along with the Piwik 2.0 release and new design for Piwik, we have also launched the official Plugins Marketplace to let any developer share their work to the thousands of Piwik users worldwide.

Maybe you'd like to publish your plugin there?

In any case, keep up the good work and we hope you enjoy Piwik 2!
