My company has a few different domains, the most simple being a .com to .ca site. How can we create a system that changes the domain based on the users location. For example: if a visitor from the US finds our .ca site on google, how can I redirect them to .com instead?
Thanks!
Maybe using html5 geolocation with google maps api and window.location.replace to redirect could be a solution.
window.onload = function () { if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(fnPosition); } } function fnPosition(position) { var lat = position.coords.latitude; var long = position.coords.longitude; checkCountry(lat,long); } function checkCountry(lat,long) { var country = {}; var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, long); geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results) { if (results[1]) { for (var i=0; i<results[0].address_components.length; i++) { for (var b=0;b<results[0].address_components[i].types.length;b++) { if (results[0].address_components[i].types[b] == "country") { country =results[0].address_components[i]; break; } } } } fnRedirect(country); }); } function fnRedirect(country) { switch(country.short_name) { case 'CA': // some window window.location.replace(...) break; default: // whatever } } I used this example to get the information from the location here
In php, you can get the location based on the ip.
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $details = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}/json")); switch ($details->country) { case 'CA': header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); exit; break; default: #whatever break; } PHP Example here
