[Plugin: BuddyPress Group Plus] Use Groups Plus Location data for search

Hi CJ, how are you?

I really love this plugin. Very useful. (I made a small donation to you 2 weeks ago to say thanks)

I have a question about the location functionality. I’m looking to build a search in buddypress where the user can search for any location information (i.e. country, state, town, zip code), and groups are shown by proximity.

The question is, can locations from the plugin be used for search if the specific searched information has not been entered into the plugin?

For example, if the user sets the group location to their town name with your plugin. Then they go an search for it by their zip code, however it doesn’t come up. It seems only the information that is entered directly is stored. However, the google map clearly demonstrates that the location is found. So is there a way of getting location indexed based on on the actual map location?

Thanks for any help you can provide. If it’s complex work, I’m wondering if you’d be interested in discussing it as a contract job.

Thanks CJ

peace

Rob
