As you can see there's no demand for this feature: http://oxwall.uservoice.com/...nguage-with-detected

only 22 voices, which is why it has not been developed

it's a different thing Ross. This is an auto language selector. I mean something like in Dolphin and Sweetdate (WP) that into registration form if you type LON.. it gives autocomplete with LONDON and then into suggested members gives the one you have near your through the Free Geoip api.

In the past we had some plugins like this one: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/756
But has never worked so well and also now is unsupported.

look also this old post i've found: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/18171?page=1#post-89963

Cite: "This is the problem I've found with some other "social/dating site" systems: Users can type in their "City" location, so they'd be found in searches for the city... but, this doesn't really work if people live outside of a major city, because the database doesn't know if a small town is near or far from a specific major city - no Geographic brain in the db! ... so rural users would rarely show up in a search. "

how do an admin could monetize a website if he could not have a secure data entry in the city side? Finding London is easy but if someone is living in a city nearby is pratically un-searchable for people that are looking for someone in that zone and, me, cannot send commercial suggestion for a zone localization And this is important not only for a dating site.

i had this feature made for another script i used years age 
ot used the free geoipdatabase and worked perfectly
cost me $120 from a freelancer 

i asked the person to make it work on oxwall but after 3 days of try understand how oxwall works he gave up 
i try repost the job but same 3 others try and same result all give up 
even with the gio ip db on my sever and the select distance script and everything there none can hook it to oxwall 

The problem in oxwall for dating could be divided into two fields. The not univocity in city registration (London is london in english, but in italian is Londra) so then if you search city from a free text type field you will have always problems ;) Another problem is how to let a plugin use a profile field (i'm not a coder but is what a friend told me taking a fast look). I think that a so much important feature could not be left outside the oxwall primary developement team due the fact it must be assured that updates will always be maintained. but it's just my opinion and my actual needs ;)

Anyway this is considered as a custom plugin development, you can make a suggestion on uservoice for us to consider implementing it if it gets many voices, otherwise you will need to do that on your own or hire a programmer to do that for you. 

Use the new geo location capabilities of all modern browsers: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp

find their location then set the language

Topic was moved from General Questions.

I think we must open a request in uservoice :) i've never done it.. anyone knows how to do it?

i have this command in my htaccess file GeoIPEnable On and it was make my server get many errors. and when i was remove it from the file that command my site was work again and have good speed again. why did i have that command in my htaccess file?? it was make my server many errors and my server respond time was no good at all with that command. i dont know what plugin or if oxwall or skadate use it? i need find the source i was just delete the command but maybe it comes back?
