At times, you need to display certain fields for certain users based on their geographical location, be it their country or continent. Perhaps a user is from Australia and you need to collect a different set of information to those users who are in the rest of the world. Perhaps in certain countries you may need to collect extra information for verification purposes or feed your users different terms and conditions based on their geographical location. What about even using conditional logic to send specific notifications to an admin or user based on which part of the world the form is being submitted from.
If you can identify with any of these scenarios, then you have come to the right place. The Gravity Forms Geo Conditional Fields plugins creates an additional 2 hidden field types that you can use to determine what country and what continent the user filling out your form is from. Whether it’s purely for viewing this information when a submission is made, geographically customising who receives notifications using conditional logic or customising the fields the user will complete based on their geographical location, this field is for you.
It’s simple. Just install and activate the plugin and you’re good to go. All you need to do is add a Geo Conditional (country or continent) field into your form and then save it. The plugin will immediately start collecting data the next time your form is submitted.
The plugin will determine the users geographical location based on their IP address which is a unique identifier of the user completing your form. It will perform a lookup using the MaxMind GeoLite2 database to find a match. The plugin will also ensure this database is automatically downloaded on a monthly basis to ensure it stays up to date and current.
The plugin has been set up for translation and includes the English translation.
You must have Gravity Forms 1.7.x or higher installed and activated on your WordPress site. If you want to use conditional logic for notifications, you must have Gravity Forms 1.8.x or higher installed.
This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from
http://www.maxmind.com. The accuracy of this plugin is subject to the accuracy of the GeoLite2 database provided by MaxMind.
You must have the WP Cron system enabled so regular updates can be downloaded from MaxMind. Updates will be downloaded from MaxMind so long as the database remains open and free to download.
