Hi, I use the cloud version of ESPO and am very happy with it. There is one restriction though, and that is the ability to drop in some code to do something useful.
If this can be done in a safe way with PHP then great, if not, how about the ability to call some form of external web service and process the returned results.
This would then allow me to do pretty much anything I wanted and should still keep the isolation that you need in the cloud environment.
Thoughts?
Want an example? ... right now my web site provides the IP address of people who register on my site. With this I want to use one of the many geolocation APIs to get the country from the IP. Then I want to convert a country name to the 2 letter ISO version (as it is more consistent). I can then also derive the phone number prefix.
So if I have the address 195.66.140.140, then I get the ISO code of UA and phone number of +380. Currently this is done manually with: https://iplocation.com/ and http://internal.s4apps.com/Country2Region.htm.
I have lots of other scenarios too.
Thanks.
