在TYPO3中使用IP限制内容元素

Question

My requirement is to restrict a content element with IP of a specific country (Eg: Austria). That means people visiting the website from Austrian IPs should be visible the content element and for all other users, it should be hidden. I am using geoip solution to check the country. I wrote a user function to implement this feature. I wrote a small extension and set hidden flag 1 and 0 based on countries. But due to TYPO3 caching, I want to clear the cache everytime to reflect the changes in frontend. I included the extension as USER_INT, and extension is non-cachable. But unfortunately not working. Functionality working, but due to caching changes not reflect in realtime.

$uid = 175; // uid of the content element needs to be hidden         
$geoplugin = new \geoPlugin();
$geoplugin->locate();
$countryCode = $geoplugin->countryCode;
if( $countryCode == 'AT' ){
    $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_UPDATEquery('tt_content', 'uid IN ('.$uid.')', array('hidden' => 0));
}else{
    $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_UPDATEquery('tt_content', 'uid IN ('.$uid.')', array('hidden' => 1));
}

Is there any method available in TYPO3 to restrict content element for specific IP / Countries? or can you guys suggest a solution to fix this please?

Answer 1

The solution of Jost is much less dirty than hiding the element in the database depending on the visitors country. By your way the database probably changed on every user visit. Just create a micro extension.
