Errors produced when forceIp set in geomete.php

[webwisecom]

I've installed geomete by following the instructions provided. As I'm working locally I've set my forceIp to my local IP address as follows:

return [ 'forceIp' => 'IP-ADDRESS-HERE' ];

When I add the following to my twig template {{ craft.geomate.country }} and run it I receive the following error:

PHP Recoverable Error – yii\base\ErrorException
Object of class GeoIp2\Model\Country could not be converted to string

Any advise on how to sort this would be greatly appreciated.

The error is just due to you trying to output the value that craft.geomate.country edits, directly. As the error message states, this is a complete object of type GeoIp2\Model\Country, which you need to drill into to get exactly what you want. To get an idea of what information is vailable, you can use dump() if you're in devMode, ie {{ dump(craft.geomate.country()) }}.

Some examples:

{% set countryData = craft.geomate.country() %}
{{ countryData.country.name }}<br>
{{ countryData.country.isoCode }}<br>
{{ countryData.country. isInEuropeanUnion }}<br>
{{ countryData.continent.name }}<br>
