I’m trying to use the ip_to_nation module (EE v1.6.9 build 20100805) as specified in the docs:

{exp:ip_to_nation:world_flags type="text"}{ip_address}{/exp:ip_to_nation:world_flags}

But instead of getting the value of the IP address, the module picks up the variable name “{ip_address}” instead. Outside of the module the variable does work, and if I put the actual IP address within the module’s tags that also works.

Seems like a parsing order problem, but I’ve not seen anyone mention it elsewhere on the forums.

Are you using that inside a exp:channel tag, nested as it were? If so, does it work if you don’t nest it?

Hi Ingmar, thanks for the speedy response. No, it’s not within any other tag nor conditional.

I’ve gotten it working using the following (template’s PHP is turned on and set at Input):

{exp:ip_to_nation:world_flags type="text"}<?php global $SESS; echo $SESS->userdata['ip_address']; ?>{/exp:ip_to_nation:world_flags}

So it does seem a parsing order issue.

Yes, some quick testing confirmed this. Glad to see you found a solution. Post again as needed, please.
