Component body

Redirect users to another site based on their I.P. address and country code.

User Case

A .com site has bee closed down, all traffic to that site is re-directed to a .co.uk site

Redirect rules are set up so that:

example.com/path_1

goes to:

example.co.uk/site_redirect/path_1

This module then detects the country code of the user based on their
IP address, and redirects the user to the site appropriate to their
country, if a site exists.

For example if the user is based in Germany, and there is a German site,
they will be redirected to it:

example.co.de/path_1

Requirements

ip2country module

Optional Add On

If Transporter module is installed on the destination sites pages can be matched automatically when the user arrives at the destination.
