I'm trying to redirect on button click based on visitor location and I have modal with two windows. As well as using freegeoip.net: I'm using this with Wordpress: script correctly hooked to wordpress and running but redirect doesnt work.
I'd equally want this modal to appear only once per visit and across all navigations through the site not upon every page reload. Thanks in advance.
Below is the jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#myModal").modal('show');
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'https://freegeoip.net/json/',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(location) {
// If the visitor is browsing from Canada.
if (location.country_code === 'CA') {
jQuery('#subscriber-ca').on('click', function(){
window.location.replace('http://www.google.com');
});
jQuery('#subscriber-us').on('click', function(){
// Redirect visitor to the USA.
window.location.replace('http://www.facebook.com');
});
} else if(location.country_code === 'US') {
jQuery('#subscriber-ca').on('click', function(){
window.location.replace('http://www.google.com');
});
jQuery('#subscriber-us').on('click', function(){
// Redirect visitor to the USA.
window.location.replace('http://www.facebook.com');
});
}
}
});
});
this is the modal:
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Subscribe our Newsletter</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>Subscribe to our mailing list to get the latest updates straight in your inbox.</p>
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address">
</div>
<button id="subscribe-us" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary pull-left">US Subscriber</button>
<button id="subscribe-ca" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary pull-right">Canada Subscriber</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
To check whether this is the first visit by the user, you can store value in session storage:
While loading check for the session storage. If it is not present then open modal dialog.
Hope it helps.
