Hi
I have a website www.mydomain.com

I have customers from all over the world. I need to show different portal to people depending on their country. I wish to just have the one mydomain.com.

Now I know DNN has localisation.... but

Can I have something that auto-detects a browser country and language and then redirect user to "www.mydomain.com/no"  or "www.mydomain.com/us" child portals, if i have any for that contry. Otherwise keep user on   default i.e parent portal.

I am using DotNetNuke_Community_05.05.01

Please help.

AFAIK there is no browser country setting, but you may detect country by IP address range, like the user profile does (there might be a few percentage fail due company accounts etc). Do you need to distinguish by country or language?

Hello Sebastian, thanks for instant reply..

Actually i want to distinguish it by country.

Is it possible to use country code by obtaning it using IP Locator like IPInfoDb.com. I could get country like this but not able to figure out method which i can use to redirect to appropriate portal...

just to try, i used something like this ...

Dim p As New PortalController
Dim list As ArrayList = p.GetPortals()
Dim userGeo As New UserGeoLocator.UserIPInfo
userGeo = GetUserIPInfo()

If Not Null.IsNull(userGeo) Then
For Each i As PortalInfo In list
Response.Write(userGeo.CountryCode)


If PortalSettings.PortalId <> i.PortalID Then

Select Case userGeo.CountryCode.ToUpper()
Case "GB"
Response.Redirect("~/" & i.PortalName.ToLower() & "/default.aspx")
Case "NO"
Response.Redirect("~/" & i.PortalName.ToLower() & "/default.aspx")
End Select

End If

Next
End If

Response.Redirect("~/ParentPortal/default.aspx")


This is working but is bit of hard coding ... :(

Please suggest me proper way to do this

there is a geolocator already build it, you will find it called by the country lookup control if you have source code version of DNN installed. Sorry, but you won't be able to achieve this w/o coding.
