[TYPO3-english] Please help me with dmc_geoIP if you can!

Hi Oliver,
I managed such a similiar task many times, in my case I usually have to do
some "typoscript magic" according to specific countries.
To accomplish that the easiest solution I found is to create a user
function that you can store in the file
typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php (being you on typo3 6.x).
This function should query a db table (or similar) like maxmind.com (the
most famous around) and return true or false accrding to what you want to
obtain.

Then you can just use a typoscript condition calling your user_func and do
stuff according to it.

I hope I've been of some help.

Bests,
Nicola
