We have added GeoIP technology to the main web service which allows us to add this functionality to websites on request.
The GeoIP technology allows you to use Server Variables to detect the country your visitor is located in.This allows website authors to tailor content for specific visitors based on the country they are located in. For example, if targeting Chinese visitors a landing page could be created welcoming visitors in Mandarin and specifying links useful to Chinese visitors trying to make a decision on whether to come to this University.
An example in PHP follows:
<?php
if($_SERVER[‘GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE’]==’GB’){echo “Hello you are based in the UK”;
}
?>
You should contact webmaster [@] qub . ac . uk to have this functionality enabled on your website if you wish to use it.
