Hi team,we are using Community Builder Free on Joomla with a list of 488 therapists.Fields we have:
Code:
cb_plz
(ZIP),
Code:
cb_ort
(city), etc.Current list search is
Code:
contains
(LIKE '%82%') – this finds 38820 when searching for 82xxx. We would like
Code:
begins with
or ideally a radius search like "show all members within 20km of 82418".We tried the Filter Tab with
Code:
cb_plz >= 82000 AND <= 82999
and also
Code:
LIKE '82%'
in Advanced – but this is a static filter, not dynamic user search.We saw CB Activity 6.0 has a "Revamped Location Feature with built-in maps, automatic location selection and nearby place searching". Does this also work for CB User Lists or only for activity streams?Question:
  1. Is a radius search for User Lists possible with CB and if yes, which add-ons do we need? Google Maps field + Auto Action for geocoding + custom Haversine WHERE query?
  2. Would buying CB Activity (Buy €59 vs Subscribe €99) already include this, or do we need more?
  3. Would you recommend to stay with CB or switch to SobiPro for a pure therapist directory with map + radius search?
We have a valid Google Maps API key.Thanks a lot for your advice!Best regards
Iris

We don't provide a radius search feature at this time. Greater than and less than searching is supported by using an Integer Number field.

Is a radius search for User Lists possible with CB and if yes, which add-ons do we need? Google Maps field + Auto Action for geocoding + custom Haversine WHERE query?

This would not help you in regards to searching. That feature is for pinning a location on a map and including that in an activity post.

Would buying CB Activity (Buy €59 vs Subscribe €99) already include this, or do we need more?

The location feature is included with CB Activity.

Would you recommend to stay with CB or switch to SobiPro for a pure therapist directory with map + radius search?

I've no experience with SobiPro, sorry. CB provides advanced user profiles and isn't necessarily a directory. If you need a directory independent from user profiles then ideally you should use a directory extension specifically for that.
