Country Detection for URL redirect (Shopping Cart)

[Brendon Coetzer]

I want have two domain names

www.demo.com.au

www.demo.co.nz

If a viewer from New Zealand (NZ) visits the Australian site (.com.au), I want the website to detect that they are from New Zealand and redirect them to the NZ domain. 

I found this Javascript code on the Business Catalyst KB, however it seems to loop over and over again, even though there are breaks included in the script.

<script language="javascript">

var country = '{module_visitorcountrycode}'; // e.g. var country = US;

switch (country) {

case 'US':

document.location = 'http://us.yourcompany.com';

break;

default:

document.location = 'http://www.yourcompany.com';

break;

};

</script>

I've read that I should use cookies but I'm not sure how to implement that with the above script.

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Kind Regards

Brendon

That is only a core element Brendon. You need to do a combination of a redirect, conditional statement to check on their location and cookies. There are a few threads on this on the forum already with code, If you do a search you should find one of them I think.

Thanks Liam.  Maybe something more along these lines then"?

<script language="javascript">

var country = '{module_visitorcountrycode}'; // e.g. var country = NZ;

var countryCookie = document.getcookie(countrycode);

if countryCookie == 'NZ';

switch (country) {

case 'NZ':

document.location = 'http://www.google.com';http://www.demosite.com.au'; // current page;

break;

default:

document.location = 'http://www.demosite.co.nz'; // page to be redirected to;

break;

};

</script>
