TYPO3-ext-tw_geo

Right now this extension provides the following features

• Get the user position based on the users IP address
• Geocoding: Get position by address string
• Add field "Geoselect" for usage in TYPO3 FormFactory classes

All features are implemented as TYPO3 services so there is a well defined fallback behaviour and the possibility for other developers to add their own services.

Usage

Start by getting the instance of the GeoUtility class. You can do that multiple times - it's a singleton so you will only get the same instance every time.

Geolocation

// Get location for current user IP
GeneralUtility::makeInstance(GeoUtility::class)->getGeolocation();
    
// Get location for a specific IP
GeneralUtility::makeInstance(GeoUtility::class)->getGeolocation('127.0.0.1');

Geolocation services

Tollwerk\TwGeo\Service\Geolocation\GeoiplookupService

Uses the geoiplookup server command

Tollwerk\TwGeo\Service\Geolocation\PhpGeoIPService

Uses the PHP GeoIPService

Geocoding

GeneralUtility::makeInstance(GeoUtility::class)->geocode('Some street, SomeCity');

Geocoding services

Tollwerk\TwGeo\Service\Geocoding\OpenStreetMapService

Uses the OSM Nominatim web API. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim

Tollwerk\TwGeo\Service\Geocoding\GoogleMapsService

Uses the Google Maps API. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro

New Form Elements

Geoselect

Usable inside FormFactory classes

/** @var TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElements\Page $page */
$geoselectField = $page->createElement('yourFieldName','Geoselect');

StaticMap

A static google map

/** @var TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElements\Page $page */
$geoselectField = $page->createElement('yourFieldName','StaticMap');

// See \Tollwerk\TwGeo\Domain\Model\FormElementy->properties for more 
$geoselectField->setProperty('latitude', 0);
$geoselectField->setProperty('longitude', 0);

Debug configuration

In TYPO3 backend go to Admin Tools > Settings > Extension Configuration > tw_geo.

There you can set debug IP adresses for which fake values should be returned. Especially useful when devloping on a local machine where no geolocation is possible.

There is also a frontend plugin available you can add to any page to test different features of this extension.
