Comments on a Map Wordpress Plugin

Have you ever wanted to show in a google map from which country your visitors that have been posted a comments come from?

Ok, so I just developed this new plugin so everyone can see this information. This new plugin is based on the ip2nation database.

This plugin checks for all your visitors comments in your posts and obtain the IP address for each comment. Then based on the IP address, the plugin obtains the country and the longitude and latitude of that country. With that information and thanks to the wonderful GoogleMap API; the plugin can generate a map with markers indicating the places from where the comments have been wrote and the number of comments in that country.

Here you can see the map of my comments generated by this plugin:

IP 2 Nation Location Wordpress Plugin

I modified the wordpress plugin called IP 2 Nation in order to retrieve 2 important values of the ip2nation database used in the generation of maps: the Longitude and Latitude of the country based on the IP. This plugin is based on the version 1.1 by Ozh and Per Gustafsson.

This is my first plugin update for Wordpress, I hope it is useful. I am planning to use it to generate another plugin for create a Google Map based on the IP addresses of the comments of a user.

Any suggestion, is welcomed, thank you.
