XF 1.5 Search option: by location?

[creativeforge]

Is there a way to conduct a search by location? I know there are paid addons offering geolocation on a map, but could this be done with the search as well?

Other than the search options available on the search page here -- https://xenforo.com/community/search/?type=post -- custom development would be required for anything else.

Do you think it would be complicated to achieve? Could I duplicate an existing file and modify it to create a new custom search filter?

Perfect! One thing: is it possible that instead of leading to their profile page, that clicking their name opens the member card? It would be much faster to connect. The profile page has no connection link at all.

Thanks!

By "connect" are you referring to the "Start a Conversation" link?

Preferably, to have the member card show up. It seems to be the more logical next step after looking for someone's location for possible meetups. From there we can start a conversation if we want to, go to their profile, etc.

Thanks!

Further discussion related to that specific add-on will need to take place on the resource discussion thread.
