jodysingh786 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I am trying to restrict access to my shop from a particular country. I downloaded the geo.dat file given in the BO in geolocation. I extracted it and uploaded it to the location mentioned. Lastly I unchecked the country from the list of countries given in geolocation. But it is not working. Coz the country to be restricted is the one where I am currently based. Kindly help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaHeroes USA Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 what is the ip address you are testing from? I will test this from my test system and output the factored country to see if resolving using the GeoLite.dat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaHeroes USA Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I tested that IP address and it returns 'IN' country code which is correct. When you set up your geolocation what did you set the following to? http://screencast.com/t/v1NICZNikMIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodysingh786 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi - I had set up as this: For restricted countries - Cannot see my catalogue; For other countries - All options are available. Well after downloading the geoip file and placing it in tools/geoip/directory. But it shows the message: Geolocation database is unavailable. Please guide me with the steps to be done to successfully setup this module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaHeroes USA Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Please note: most issues testing with Geo Localization.. you must 'clear your browser cookie for your shop, or all cookies) prior to starting a test and when changing countries you are testkng with. Otherwise PrestaShop will use what is in the existing country. currency/language/country etc. for anyone that is into localization and wants to save loads of time, here is a 'very' reasonably priced PrestaShop module that simulates a visitors view of your shop by 'country' or 'ip'. http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/279119-module-geo-targeting-localization-country-or-ip-simulator-pro/ happy localizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
