Information
1. Configure

Information #

The IP Geocoder portlet locates your geological position. This portlet is not used so much as a stand alone portlet, although it does display your location in the portlet window, but is used in conjunction with other portlets, such as the Map portlet and the Google Maps portlet. The IP Geocoder portlet utilizes Max Mind's GeoIP City Database.

Configure#

1. Deploy the IP Geocoder portlet.
2. Shut down your application server.
3. Download the GeoIP City Database, such as the free GeoLite City Database.
4. Unzip the .dat file to your desired storage path.
5. Go to /{ROOT}/webapps/ip-geocoder-portlet/WEB-INF/classes/.
6. Create a portlet-ext.properties file at this location.
7. Add the property maxmind.database.file=(GeoIP City Database .dat file path) to this file.
8. Start your application server.

After these instructions, there is blank, grey screen inside the portlet and I can't manage all the other porlets within the page (remove, min, max, edit)...
because of this:

Once you've installed IP Geocoder, edit /social-networking-portlet/map/view.jsp.
Replace these lines :
<liferay-util:html-bottom>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=<%= PortletProps.get("map.google.maps.api.key") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
</liferay-util:html-bottom>

By :
<liferay-util:html-top>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=your-google-maps-api-key" type="text/javascript"></script>
</liferay-util:html-top>

Hi Franck,
In my social-networking-portlet\map\view.jsp page shows like,
float latitude = ipInfo.getLatitude();
System.out.println("latitude#########"+latitude);
float longitude = ipInfo.getLongitude();
System.out.println(" longitude #########"+longitude);
Both latitude and longitude return 0.0 value. I couldn't get exact location of the user in the map.
