Hi

Great module :-)

I'm using views to create lists of nearby nodes, but a cant filter out long distances based on the users location - like show only events in my neighborhood, or users in my neighborhood.

The distance from the users location works fine in fields and sorting, where I can sort the distance based on the users origin (Origin:
User's location (blank if unset) ).

This option is not present for Filters, where I want to show nodes within a certain distance and exclude nodes beyond a custom distance.

This would be a great feature :-)

Thanks Bo

Can someone cofirm whether this is for using with node location and user location or whether it works with CCK?

@bjalford: actually it works with users and node locations. not completely sure about what you mean with 'works with cck' though..

there are the legacy "native" locations on nodes and users. And there are the "new" cck locations that are part of location module now. many of us are really hoping to see views work with the cck locations.

This was working for me

My code in file /handlers/location_views_handler_filter_proximity.inc line 153 following


  // Used from the distance field.
  function calculate_coords() {
    if (!empty($this->value['latitude']) && !empty($this->value['longitude'])) {
      // If there are already coordinates, there's no work for us.
      return TRUE;
    }
 
else {
global $user;
$user->location = location_load_locations($user->uid, 'uid');

 if(!empty($user->location[0]['latitude']) && !empty($user->location[0]['longitude'])) {
 $this->value['latitude'] = $user->location[0]['latitude'];
$this->value['longitude'] = $user->location[0]['longitude'];
 return TRUE;
 }    
}    
		    
 // @@@ Switch to mock location object and rely on location more?

    if ($this->options['type'] == 'postal' || $this->options['type'] == 'postal_default') {
      // Force default for country.
      if ($this->options['type'] == 'postal_default') {

This patch needs a review:
http://drupal.org/patch/review
(and maybe a re-roll http://drupal.org/patch/create)

How does this relate to
#606342: Views Argument Handler for Proximity
?

As suggested by YesCT in #13, this is now possible with #606342: Views Argument Handler for Proximity
