This looks good but has anybody tried it? If somebody want to compile
everything for Win32 and upload it I'll definitely give it a go.
Otherwise,
there are two things putting me off doing this myself. Firstly finding
and
reinstalling MinGW which I have only ever used for Analog patches and
secondly
this lurking at the bottom of the instructions on how to make GeoIP
work...
"You must have OS-report on and Browser-report and Browser-summary off."
I guess it's more important for me to know what browser people are using
than
where they actually are. Isn't there an add-on available already that
will
find people's locations anyhow?
I haven't been able to look at Ravikumar's modifcations to tree.c, so I'm
not sure exactly what changes he's made, but I assume he decided to
sacrifice the Browser reports because they already provide a mechanism for
sorting the GeoIP information in a 2 stage hierarchy.
Another approach that might work without sacrificing the Browser Report,
or recompiling Analog itself would be to use the GeoIP code to create a
DNS file (or to modify the IP address using the UNCOMPRESS technique
ravikumar used). Using the DNS information, the Organization or Domain
Report could be used to display the Country and City information, with one
slight modification - you would also have to crate a custom DOMAINFILE (eg
geoip.tab) that set the depth of each country to 2.
The GeoIP code would set the IP address to bombay.in, madras.in,
chennai.in madrid.es, barcelona.es, chicago.us, etc, and the Domain Report
would look like
123 .in (India
57 bombay.in
43 madras.in
12 chennai.in
102 .es (Spain)
47 madrid.es
23 barcelona.es
etc. It's not quite as pretty as ravikumars solution, because Analog
automatically lowercases domain names, and placenames with spaces would
have to use dashes or underscores, but it's somewhat easier to implement.
The GeoIP API code is also available in a number of different languages,
including perl, so there are a number of options available.
