Description

I have searched for IPLookup alternatives - did not find anything suitable for distribution as part of moodle package.

But we could use something like http://www.seomoz.org/ip2loc/ip2loc.php

The Google Mas licence and Maxdata Golite license would allow us to do the displaying and searching directly on moodle.org site (which is publicly acessible) or we could even (if allowed) link directly to the site above

I have prepared a sample implementation that uses Google Maps API and MaxMind's free GeoLite City database, you can test it here:

http://turbo.cdv.tul.cz/showiponmap/test.php

or if you wish to test some specific ip use:

http://turbo.cdv.tul.cz/showiponmap

Petr,

When you get a moment, can you quickly knock up a new /iplookup/googlemaps plugin with this code?

http://moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net/moodle/moodle/iplookup/

Is it required that we include the whole database or is there some other solution? I'm happy to put a redirector or something on moodle.org.
