FEATURE - Geographical Database
Dependant upon 'Geo::IP::PurePerl' CPan module & rbm_settings.cf On/Off
toggle, RbMod can now pickup a clients City/Region (database permitting)
and further utilize these results in other features such as the on-join
channel creation feature or weather statistics to name a few. This
feature is disabled by default until both the Geo::IP::PurePerl is installed
(
'cpan' .. 'install Geo::IP::PurePerl') and the free 'GeoLite City' BINARY
database that this module utilizes is correctly placed at the root of RbMod.
'/GeoLiteCity.dat'
'http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz'
FEATURE - Weather Conditions
With 'Geo::IP::PurePerl' correctly running and enabled
under rbm_settings.cf, our second dependency in which to obtain user
temperatures comes in the form of 'Weather::Underground'. This module,
when installed
(cpan> 'install Weather::Underground') will enable
certain temperature statistics to appear next to a clients on-join
'status' group for a short period, as well as a global Celsius
/ Fahrenheit / Conditions global message upon first connections.
There's of course the more permanent feature 'Temperatures_On'
that utilizes 85 temperature icons (from -33c - +50c), updated
on a set interval for all online connections.
