Script to call out location and isp

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get the latest working script to call out location, isp, handset .. etc?

Thanks

MaxMind should still be working fine - here's a guide to setting it up: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...our-Own-Server

Alternatively, most trackers will pass this data to a lander these days - it's just a question of enabling that function in the tracker then doing a <?php echo $_GET['parameter_name']; ?> in your lander.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more assistance.

Maxmind works great and I used it for a few weeks, but Voluum added geo tokens that they pass to the lander so i started using that instead as opposed to paying for maxmind. So far it's been working great so I'd recommend checking with your tracker like carumen suggested.

If not, could you do a very very quick run through on where do I set this up?

Is it simply the case of typing this on your lander: http://lander.com?country={country}&model={model}&browser ={browser} etc...
..and Voluum will somehow be able to track and detect and pull all those variables out for you?

Thanks!

@alfiss

I believe you're looking for this ==> http://feedback.Voluum.com/knowledge...eter-on-lander

I followed the instructions in there to display the parameter.

@mrneko So weird that I was just about to dig into Voluum's knowledge base to find this answer. Would I be able to use this to pass through parameters into an entry alert as well?

*Edit*

@budd posted the solution below. Just what I needed too. Thanks.

Here is what I use to call out Voluum parameters

Add this before </head>

HTML Code:

<script>
function getURLParameter(name) {
                var str = decodeURI(
                    (RegExp(name + '=' + '(.+?)(&|$)').exec(location.search)||[,null])[1] || '' );  if(str.substring(0,7).localeCompare('Generic') == 0){
return 'Android';
}
return str;
}
</script>

Add this to your <body> where you want to call out the parameters

HTML Code:

<script>document.write(getURLParameter('model'))</script>

In an alert use this within your alert text

HTML Code:

" + getURLParameter('city') + "

Don't forget to add the required parameters to your landing page URL within Voluum

For example
?city={city}&country={countryname}&model={model}&b rand={brand}&ip={ip}&browser={browser}

Budd is truly the one that knocks.

Ok...I think I'm really close to figuring this out. I went through the steps but my alert is showing up as raw Voluum data in the alert. I would appreciate anyones input on what I have done incorrectly.

I believe I added the script correctly into my lander and I checked it by inserting 123456 into the carrier placeholder like so...

www.mydomain.com/mylander/index.html?carrier={123456}

This did appear to work correctly.

I then went to Voluum and appended the landing page URL with the corresponding URL token. In this case: ?carrier= {carrier]...

When I visit the lander through the campaign URL to check this is the gibberish that appears.

Are you checking on a phone with service? A desktop wouldn't have a carrier so that'd be blank I'd assume. It being blank allows the voluum gibberish to be pushed into the carrier spot. Try using a different token for a test like city or something and it see if it works

Thanks Steel. I was checking with my computer and that would explain why the Voluum gibberish was appearing. I just checked with my mobile phone and the callout worked correctly.
