Hey there,

Thanks for your reporting.

We are able to replicate it on our local site and confirm it is a bug.

I will log this into our issue tracker.

Thanks Irwin, can you provide a temporary fix?

There is no any quick fix for this yet, can you update your site correct site backend login credentials? Because it seems like you provided that login credentials no longer work.

And now Google new policy have to force to enable billing account then only can use their services in order to search map location on the site.

So I can able to create some event nearby my place and troubleshoot this issue directly on your site and see if possible to apply some temporary fix on your site or not.

I've applied some fix into this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/controllers/events.php , can you give it a check is it can show those feature event when you click on 'nearby' filter on the event listing page?

@Arlex, thank you.

Yes, it is now showing some Featured Events in the nearby listings.

The difference I see between the "temporary fix" and what I see on other event related pages is that the featured events are not being displayed first on the nearby page it is still sorting by the Closed Date primarily. My opinion is that it should still sort by Closed Date or Distance, whichever is selected as the preferred filter, but regardless of which it should group Featured Events together and then group Non-Featured together separately. I am pretty sure this is how it is handled in other views.

Hi James,

Thanks for those information. We will check them and see if we can implement this on our next release version. Temporary fixes are just simple hacks and might not cope with your requirements currently. We will continue check them and provide them once our developer fixed it.

Thanks for your understanding.

Do you mean you would like to show those feature event at the top under 'nearby event' filtering? screenshot : http://take.ms/V0U0x

if i misunderstand your question in earlier, perhaps you can elaborate more details regarding this?

Good morning @Arlex.

What I mean is handle it similar to other pages where Featured Events are shown first and foremost and then below that are the non-featured events. The difference for Nearby Events is that the Featured Events would be filtered by distance separate from the Non-Featured Events.

In the attached screenshot you can see how the default "All" Events Page View looks. Same objective but sort them as mentioned above.

Thanks for getting back to us, now i understand what you mean, we will see if we can include this fix into next release version.
