    Hi,

    I noticed in the sourcecode the existense of your ‘geodata’ service, which returns the geo info for an ip address (like geoplugin_city, lat, long, etc.

    Through my browser it’s working fine, but through my custom Widget, I get 403 errors (most of the time, sometimes it’s working)

    Am I getting blocked and is this not supposed to be used?

    Thanks
    Carsten

    Hi Pawon,

    not sure what’s wrong here. Too little information to give you a straight answer.

    The only thing I know is that you should be able to use GeoLocation data without getting blocked.

    If you give us more details, we can maybe help you debug your custom code.

    Thx

    Hi Paolo

    Thanks for your relply.

    I use the following code:

    

    		$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
		$addr_details = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.$ip)); 
		$mylat = stripslashes(ucfirst($addr_details[geoplugin_latitude]));
		$mylon = stripslashes(ucfirst($addr_details[geoplugin_longitude]));
    

    Taken from listing_filters.php around line 70.
    

    It’s working fine most of the time. Just at times I keep getting a 403 error (while it still when I visit the url in my browser)
    

    thanks
    
Carsten

    hi Carsten,  this code is currently not in use, an old dev must have been trying it out but i would not use that service, i would just use google’s api.
