It would be realy useful if the user input (state,city) would be validated.

State is doable. City is not, unless we validate against the geonames webservice or something similar (Which WOULD be cool, but it would have to be optional.)

yes, it should be optional.
There could be two options:

- Validate via webservice (geonames for example)
- Validate via own Server (maybe an extra module)

Do you think that is something what could be in the next rc? Maybe only the validate state thing?

Title: validate user input » validate user input (state and/or city)

Issue tags: +location validation, +location geonames

this issue:
#226396: City Validation
asks about city validation, kind of.

Also, I think this functionality is kind of far out, so I'll mark this postponed. But if anyone wants to take a stab at implementing it, they can post a patch, and change the status back to active.

I'll tag this validation and also geonames. And I'll try and look for other issues that deal with geonames and tag those too.

Closing due to lack of interest. To anyone still interested in this, I would encourage implementing this in a separate module that adds a validation step to any location input using the Forms API. If you happen to implement something, please post it as a separate project and let us know (or let us know so we can add you to the project so you can add your work to this project).
