Re: Gdpr - upcoming law for European merchants
Geolocation module for XC5 uses MaxMind GeoLite database - as mentioned in the module description. It uses static file supplied with the module which means - it can be inaccurate in many cases.
For this module to show accurate results the GeoLite database must be downloaded on a regular bases however this may require subscription with MaxMind. The XC4 module uses geoip PHP extension. Completely different approach for the GDPR module. In XC4 I believe ITVV is correct that in XC4 if you are not coming from EU the checkbox will not show - the code is tied to the geoip and turns off the module in this case. With module off nothing from it will work. I am not sure if this is the case with XC5 version of the module. |

Hello,
I have reuploaded the modules. The fixed bug affects all the stores located in the root and having clean URLs enabled. A patch has been attached. Thank you. |

Fortunately, as we have created all our own CWS mods within a custom module, we can switch that off and test again, just to see if it was the cause of this failure, but it isn't. It's exactly the same result with or without our own custom module enabled. Anyone else who is currently using this XC5 GDPR module release noticed this? |

Re: Gdpr - upcoming law for European merchants
GeoIP is PHP module. There is nothing wrong with using what's out there already coded for the framework/language XC is built on. It is actually something you better do - why reinvent the wheel in this. case. But the GeoIP applies to XC4 only.
XC5 uses the GeoLocation module which is another XC5 module based on data provided by MaxMind. So in this case the Module A/B remark can be used. |
