Hi, I am trying to create a block in views to display related nodes that are in close proximity of the selected node (each node has a location entered by the user, the function is provided by the location module). After trying for several hours, it seems to me that I can only compare the selected node with a predefined coordinates. However, what I wanted is that the reference location actually changes in respond to the selected node.

For example, if I am viewing a post with the location in Canada, the block should show all other posts that have the location as Canada.

I am wondering if someone here tried to solve the same problem before. if so, please share your insight.

Thanks a lot

Title: Find related node by location » Find related node by location (view block for proximity or match to country)

try an issue search in this location issue queue for the tag:
location proximity view to author of node
or
location proximity view
or
location view arguments

You might be able to use a patch to match the country field, that might be easier to get than the proximity view...

Maybe someone else can post too to answer. But I wanted to point you a bit in a direction.

Exactly the same I want to create and I couldn´t find a solution. Did you solve the problem? I couldn't find a way to use the long/lat from selected node as an argument for the view.

I want to create a view:"show a list of related nodes around: selectable filter (50km ; 100km; 200km; 500km)"

Subscribe...this seems like a no-brainer feature that is really hard to figure out right now. Any solutions?

I believe this is now possible w/ #606342: Views Argument Handler for Proximity if not possible otherwise.
