    Hi,
    I would like to redirect the visitors of my site to a site in their local language. Is there a way to redirect a user to a specific url based on their IP? Is there a standard plug-in for modx that does this? Has anyone implemented this with for instance the ipinfodb.com database?

      I'm resurrecting this, as I would like to see how it is done too. I have a site with Babel installed and two contexts - Web & US. I am trying to have the global site as the default and any visitors with a USA IP get redirected to websitename.com/us

      Any hints on where I can put an ip-sniffing code would be great.

        I'd probably throw it in a plugin, hooked to the OnHandleRequest plugin event; that's one of the earliest events to hook into.

          That's why I love Modx. YOu can make it do what you want. PLUS it has a dedicated, and knowledgeable following.

          Thanks guys!
