Hi,

I have been asked to set up 2 home pages and have the user redirected to one or the other depending on his country location, this is before he has logged in so is there anything in the API  I can use to get the user's country before he has logged in ?

Hope you can help.

there isnt an API method though there is a webcontrol (CountryListBox) which you can find at Library\Controls\CountryListBox\CountryListBox.cs that you could borrow the code from

Hi,

Thanks, that will help a lot looks good, I have had a rethink about the way I am going to do this different content for countries and am looking at using Content Dejour, which is fine proving the person has logged in.

I am trying to get a country drop down on the first page for the user to select but currently only get an empty dropdown control.

I have the following in my ascx

<%@ Register TagPrefix="wc" Namespace="DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls" Assembly="CountryListBox" %>

and further down.

<wc:CountryListBox TestIP="" LocalhostCountryCode="US" id="cboCountry" DataValueField="Value" DataTextField="Text" AutoPostBack="True" runat="server" /> but have a blank drop down.

Any help please ?

JHF.

you need to bind the list of country names - check Library\UI\UserControls\Address.cs, the load method shows getting the list of countries and doing the bind
