(Well aware that i'm overdue an actual listing of the board/site in your new board, but have been working on a major chunk (speaking of chunks have pulled a few of hair out))

How's it going?

So, I know i can easily get the User IP Guest or otherwise, but how?

Now i'm sure i saw that you expose the location information somewhere already, well have for previous iteration anyways..... how do I get that? Really IP country is fine, but city might be better. 

Cheers, appreciate that support!

then you click on the ip address  and you will  taken to the ip info page.

I need to call the IP and the geolocation of the IP into my code. 

what code do i need to use on my pages?

i can live with just the IP actually, but country and area/city would probably help me. 

might i ask how you are pulling the country and are/city? probably going to be using ip2proxy in anycase which will give me access to ip2location.

cheers!

it would be great to have something similar to pull country or even more granular location detail (if it's available).

ie i would like to use country / city on my pages rather than visiting the admin edit user profile page.

Thanks a million!

I don't understand the problem. With the api you can use the location api on your pages.

 var userIpLocator = await this.Get<IIpInfoService>().GetUserIpLocatorAsync(this.Request.GetUserRealIPAddress());​

that's my fault, i read that is it's all the IPaddress, not the 

IP address below

this.Request.GetUserRealIPAddress()

and the rest of it getting the location

i will see how that returns and use it from there, thank you very much, it's a great help!

is anyone surprised? :)

tried to step into this and couldn't.  var userIpLocatorResult = await yafIpService.GetUserIpLocatorAsync(testIP);

there's a step i'm missing i feel. connecting to an api or downloading a database?

I'm going to download ip2locator country only and will get me a bit of redundancy and self sufficiency, but let me know if i'm missing anything quick. not mega urgent, thanks a mill for the time and support.

text code if you want:

try

{

    // Use YAF's existing IIpInfoService

    using var scope = _serviceProvider.CreateScope();

    var yafIpService = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService();

    if (yafIpService != null)

    {

        // DIAGNOSTIC: Use fixed IP for testing

        var testIP = "102.165.86.118";

        _logger.LogInformation("DIAGNOSTIC: Using fixed test IP: {TestIP}", testIP);

        var userIpLocatorResult = await yafIpService.GetUserIpLocatorAsync(testIP);

        if (userIpLocatorResult != null)

        {

            // DIAGNOSTIC: Log the complete object structure

            _logger.LogInformation("DIAGNOSTIC: YAF IP Service returned object of type: {Type}", userIpLocatorResult.GetType().FullName);

            // Log all properties using reflection

            var properties = userIpLocatorResult.GetType().GetProperties();
