How to get logged in user location and save it in database

[Ram]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to capture location of logged in users in our Web App and save that location into our database.

Basically if we could capture this location, we would like to use it around members account features.

Please let me know if you have suitable pointers for this.

Thanks in advance,

~Ram

Hi, 

   Use javascript location api

Thank you very much, Ranga for the pointer. We actually need to capture the location of the IP address, like "Where" attribute in this  example. So where attribute should also include nearest city name in that country.

I think you can find out city name using IP address. Use JavaScript or there are some python modules also.

All the best 👍

You can use built in functionality for this.

All you need is an up to date IP address database. You can find one here:
https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-services-and-databases

The geoip handling in Django will then help you find where the IP address is:
