GeoIP

• With GeoIP you can associate your visitors to an country using the ip address.
• 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 addresses at once an reload itself until less then 100 addresses left. Click the update button to check the rest.
• If the rest remains greater than 0 the IP address 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 automatically update don't work download GeoIP.dat.gz and extract it to the "geoip" directory.
• More information about GeoIP on www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country
