This app will not work on Aldryn until Aldryn includes the MaxMind GeoIP C-API into their build pack.

For example: https://github.com/Bouke/heroku-buildpack-python-geoip/tree/master

This segmentation plugin for Aldryn Segmentation relies on middleware to lookup the (likely) country from MaxMind's GeoIP database for incoming IP addresses. It isn't 100% accurate, but its pretty close.

The middleware performs the lookup, then places a new attribute on the HTTPRequest object named COUNTRY_CODE.

The segmentation plugin contained herein allows any number of "segments" to be defined based on the COUNTRY_CODE attribute.

At this time, the package is not submitted to PyPi, but you can still use pip if you like. Here's how to get started quickly:

NOTE: At this time, the project has been tested under:

• Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4
• Django 1.4, 1.5, 1.6
• django CMS 3.0.2 (276fd37b0e49555bafce6c071ca50508de5e4c49 or later)
• Aldryn Segmentation 0.4.0 or later

1. Make sure you're using a version of django-CMS that is later than 3.0.2.dev1, otherwise the Segment menu will not appear correctly and likely the whole toolbar won't render at all and you may have trouble with AliasPlugins.
2. Install Aldryn Segmentation (not yet in PyPI).
3. Add 'country_segment' to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django project's settings file.
4. Add country_segment.middleware.ResolveCountryCodeMiddleware to your settings.MIDDLEWARE.
5. python manage.py migrate country_segment.
6. Properly configure your installation with the MaxMind dataset (read on).

Optional but recommended:

1. Install django-easy select2: pip install django-easy-select2 (highly recommended).
2. Add 'easy_select2' to your project's settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

MaxMind (http://www.maxmind.com/) generously provide a free "lite" version of their geo-location products. The one we're interested in here is called "GeoLite Country" and is effectively a static database in a single file: GeoIP.dat.

This database is not distributed with Aldryn Country Segment, however, this version of this app will automatically get it for you. For details, read below or examine the script at country_segment.dat_getter.py.

• Automatic dat file downloads - On startup, the file country_segment.dat_getter.py will initiate a connection to MaxMind to get this appropriate file and install it into your site-packages inside the country_segment directory. Upon subsequent restarts of your application or triggers via the management command (manage.py update_dat), this same script will check the modification date of the MaxMind database and, if older than one week, will re-fetch it. Note, however, that MaxMind only updates the free version of this file about once per month, so, if you need better accuracy or more frequently updated data, you should consider subscribing to their service. For unattended dat file upgrades in production, you should consider Celery or Cron.

• No further settings required - There is no need to include any settings for GEO_IP. If you provide some anyway, the middleware will not use them.

# Install the middleware. Should go near the top.
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'country_segment.middleware.resolve_country_code_middleware.ResolveCountryCodeMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    ...
)

On application server start, the middleware will emit a warning to your console/logs: "GeoIP database is not initialized." if it could not find or otherwise initialize the database.
