Geolocation Plugin for BigBrotherBot

Description

A BigBrotherBot plugin which introduces geolocation capabilities. This plugin is meant to be used as subplugin since it doesn't provide commands or visual reaction to B3 events. The plugin intercepts new clients connection and retrieve geolocation data using multiple data sources:

NOTE: since B3 v1.10.1 beta this plugin has been included in the standard plugins set, thus all patches and updates will be performed in the official B3 repository.

For plugin developers

To notify other plugins of client geolocation being completed, two events are being fired:

EVT_CLIENT_GEOLOCATION_SUCCESS : when the geolocation succeeds
EVT_CLIENT_GEOLOCATION_FAILURE : when the geolocation fails

When the geolocation succeed a new attribute is added the the b3.clients.Client object: location. This attribute will hold all the geolocation data the plugin could retrieve:

client.location.country : the country name
client.location.region : the region name
client.location.city : the city name
client.location.cc : the two letter country code
client.location.rc : the two letter region code
client.location.isp : the Internet Service Provider name
client.location.lat : the latitude value
client.location.lon : the longitude value
client.location.timezone : the timezone string
client.location.zipcode : the postal code

NOTE #1 : when EVT_CLIENT_GEOLOCATION_FAILURE is fired client.location is set to None
NOTE #2 : when the plugin cannot retrieve a specific geolocation value, its attribute is set to None

Latest version available here.

Requirements

This plugin is meant to work only with B3 version 1.10dev or higher. No 1.9.x version will be released since the plugin makes use of some new B3 core features which have been added in version 1.10 development branch.

Installation

Simply drop the geolocation directory into b3/extplugins. B3 will automatically load the plugin if needed. If you want you can load the plugin in b3 main configuration file but it's not mandatory.
