extensions (developers see below) providing additional functionality (see plugin documentation)
Travel Blog EXAMPLE:
In one CCA sidebar widget (you can use more):
display a hotel booking advert/form by default
for posts in category “Equipment” display an Amazon.COM Travel Gadget advert;
but if the visitor is located in the UK or Ireland display an Amazon.CO.UK equivalent;
category “Transport”: display a flight search advertisement
category “Information”: display UK Gov Travel Warnings News Feed (RSS) by default;
but if the visitor is from US or NZ show their Government’s equivalent Feed instead
Use “Ads within posts widget” to display a gadget advert within posts in category “equipment”.
set widget to only display on small devices i.e. when your sidebar is not visible.
Use shortcodes to customize your posts for visitors from different countries e.g.
[display only=”US,GB”]some content[cca_display] will only display the enclosed content, advert etc to visitors from US and UK.
[cca_display not=”GB,AU”]some content[cca_display] will NOT display the enclosed content to visitors from the specified countries.
CCA Goodies Extension Currently free for a tweet see this post for more info. More flexibility for sidebar widgets . More “Ads in Posts” widgets.
Enable PHP.
Preview mode + view CCA content as if you are a visitor from specified country. More Geolocation shortcodes. Give pages “categories” etc etc.
GeoIP Country Data:
This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com .
If you use Cloudflare and have “switched on” their GeoLocation option ( see Cloudflare’s instructions ) then it will be used to identify visitor country. If not, then the Maxmind GeoLite2 Country Database, installed by this plugin, will be used.
Experts: a “hook” is provided to allow you to use other GeoIP systems with this plugin.
Developers and coders: edit functions.php or build your own CCA extension plugin using CCA functions, filters and actions.
Useful functions & methods are detailed in the CCA website’s documentation. Actions, Filters & Hooks have yet to be documented; but view the RSS code within this plugin or download the “CCA Goodies Extension” from the CCA website to give you an idea of how to add additional functionality.
If you want to build your own extensions then contact me first as there is a chance that hooks will be renamed or removed.
