Composer Installation

composer require marketo/silverstripe-regional-maxmind-geoip-legacy

Config

You will need to confirm that the MaxMind GeoIP database files have been setup and that you can use the GeoIP function that come with the PHP 5 GeoIP module. Certain versions of the MaxMind GeoIP API module (https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-php/) will conflict with the PHP 5 GeoIP functions.

GeoIP database

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 http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite

API endpoints

The curent endpoint returns a JSON object giving location details for the IP address. The results default to json but they can also be returned as jsonp if this has been defined under the config for IPInfoCache
