MaxMind location detection as geo option

Today I have implemented MaxMind provided solution for geo detection. In order to have this functionality make sure you have copied 

https://github.com/remdex/livehelperchat/tree/master/lhc_web/var/external this folder to your instance. There is two options there

• User country based detection
• User city based detection.

Country base detection database file is already included but for city you would have to download ir and extract to var /var/external/geoip folder. 

This geo detectio method does not require any remote connections.

Features

1. Chrome extension!!!

Download it from https://github.com/remdex/livehelperchat-extensions/raw/master/browsers-extensions/chrome/lhc/lhc_packed/lhc.crx
or just
https://github.com/remdex/livehelperchat-extensions/tree/master/browsers-extensions/chrome/lhc/lhc_packed
To operator should be assigned permission
"Chat" => "Allow user to user chrome extension"

After dowmloading chrome extension just drop it in chrome extensions window. Click options to enter chat path. And then just click icon and enter logins. To avoid entering logins every time just click remember me. I also recommend to grant browser to show notifications.
