Hello Beth,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding your issue, I've checked your site and apparently your JomSocial do not have the geo-location data migrated ( the latitude and longitude ) thus the 'distance' search will be failed.

To use this distance search, if your address field is using the 'normal' mode ( user map option disabled ), then you will need to turn on the 'Geocode Address' option so that when user updating their address field, EasySocial will automatically send a request to google map to retrieve the geolocation and saved in your db

If you are using the 'map' mode, then your user will need to click on 'detect location' from the address field during they edit their profile so that EasySocial can capture the geolocation data and save into db

Hope this help and have a nice day

It helps explain it, yes, but I need to FIX it. With 18,000+ users, I can't simply wait for them all to figure out they need to update their location field. I still have JomSocial installed, is there any way to get those fields in there and somehow migrate them across? I really need to find a way to do this.

Hello Beth,

I am sorry for the late reply.

I am sorry but unfortunately this is not supported by the migrator You will need to write your own php script to manually get these values and do a curl to gogole map api to retrieve the latitude and longitude.

Please refer to this for code example. http://jainishsenjaliya.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/how-to-get-latitude-and-longitude-from-coutry-or-city-using-php/

Hello Beth,

I recommend you use this

It's an admin module, It will translte user address into coordinates without requiring the user input.

That's perfect adrien, thank you! It didn't catch all of them, but enough that at least some are coming through

Thanks Adrien for sharing this great module

You're welcome. Happy It helped !
