Location search question

Location search question was created by Silver007A
Hi everyone,

I have a site that visitors will want to search profiles by location across the UK and then hopefully USA, Australia, etc.

I've never been set this task before and would like to ask for some help from people who have experience and knowledge of setting this up with CB.

My question is, what is the best way to do it?

There are too many counties/states, cities, towns, etc to list them all. Does CB have a function like Google, where you can search by town or postcode/zip and it will provide a list based on distance radius?

or

IS there an option in core CB to have a field that might be counties/states and when you choose one it then provides another field with cities/towns in that county/state, etc.

I hope this makes sense and would be very grateful for some expert guidance.

Thanks :)

Thank you everyone

No, but I believe a plugin is available to provide this. I recommend checking Joomla.org extension directory.

No, CB does not provide conditional fields. This is something we've planned for CB 2.0.
