administration for geo localized sites 10 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 0
My main question is about administration of Geo Localized site from an IP which does not conform to that specific site.

Here is the details.

We have a master site www.xxxxx.com and created an slave site for UK, which www.xxxxx.com/uk, this has been create so that somebody in UK typing www.xxxxx.com it will be redirected to slave www.xxxxx.com/uk
There is also similar slave site for France, www.xxxxx.com/france

Now the administrator lives in France, so if he/she types www.xxxxx.com/france/administrator can login to the admin back-end and manage the slave site for France.

Two cases and questions, How administrator in France can manage
1- master site www.xxxxx.com
2- UK slave site www.xxxxx.com/uk

in both cases if he types for example www.xxxxx.com/administrator or www.xxxxx.com/uk/administrator he/she will be redirected to www.xxxxx.com/france because he lives in France and his IP is from France.

Say now somebody came and put &geoipignore=1 inside Ignore When Pattern Is (Geo localization popup site definition).

Now someone in France will type www.xxxxx.com/administrator?&geoipignore=1 which will take him to the master site's administration login but as soon as user and password was put and clicked on the login, because url changes and does not have ?&geoipignore=1 at the end, again site is redirected to www.xxxxx.com/france.

How someone keep ?&geoipignore=1 constantly at the end of urls when you do not know what would be the next url when you click on login, or other menus in backend?

I hope I have clarified this enough.
Thank you.

If you want that people access directly the www.xxxx.com from france or www.xxx.com/uk from france, you have to also defined 2 slave site for those URL that are not filtered by the Geo Localisation parameters. You also have to put these new slave site definition after the Geo Localized slave site definition. In other words, use the "order" field to decide in which order the slave site definition is processed by the JMS "Super Switch"

Something that you can also use is the "Ignore Geo IP" parameter that allow discard temporarly a rule. The duration is defined by the cookie duration.
That mean that even when the parameter is not present in the URL, it is read from the cookie to check if it is enabled. The duration of the cookie is defined with the second parameter in the slave site definition just after the "Ignore Geo IP"


Another alternative to the "Ignore Geo IP" is to create subdomains to access the specific website without any control of the IP.
