GeoIP

• With the GeoIP addon you can associate your visitors to an country using the ip adress.
• In the database a new column country will be insert on plugin activation.
• On options page you can update you current visits. This take a while!

The Script checks 100 IP adresses at once an reload itself until less then 100 adresses left.
Click the update button to check the rest.

• If the rest remains greater than 0 the IP adress is not in GeoIP database (accuracy 99.5%).
• You can update the GeoIP database from time to time to get new IP data.

This necessitates write rights to geoip directory (e.g. chmod 777).

• If the automaticaly update don't work download GeoIP.dat.gz and extract it to the "geoip" directory.
