Geographical and Language-based Landing Pages

Sending the right visitors to the right places

When a visitor arrives at a Tribiq CMS site, the CMS applies an order of precedence like this:

1. Specific Page

If a visitor requests a specific Content Item (e.g. an HTML page such as http://axatech.com/green-computing) he sees the Green Computing page, in English.

Documents, News items and other types of content work the same.

If no specific Content Item is requested, we proceed to step 2.

2. Country-Based Landing Page

If a visitor is physically within a country for which you have specified a Landing Page, the visitor gets immediately redirected to that page.

For example, if the visitor is in Argentina, you can direct him to a South American Spanish landing page, if you have one. You might call this http://yoursite.com/home-southamerican-spanish.

If the visitor's country cannot be identified (this is rare but possible), or if you have not nominated a landing page for the visitor's country, then we proceed to step 3.

This is managed via Storekeeper->Country Manager, choose a country and then View/Edit Country.

3. Language-Based Landing Page

If the visitor's browser can be detected, and it is a language for which there is Redirection set up, the visitor gets immediately redirected to that page.

For example, if the visitor is in none of the named countries, but his browser is set to operate in Spanish, you can direct him to a generic Spanish landing page. You might call this http://yoursite.com/home-spanish.

This is managed via Storekeeper->Languages, choose an enabled Language and then View/Edit Language.

4. Default Page

If none of the above rules can be applied, then the CMS finds the Default Language in the site config file and chooses that language.

Plugins

The Country-Based Landing Page step 2 requires the Geo Landing Page plugin. Without this Plugin step 2 will be skipped.
