New proximity search feature for profiles
July 07, 2010, 07:44:38 am
The new "proximity search" feature for profiles looks fantastic.    How can I allow the visitor to enter the radius in miles instead of km?    I did not see anything under the "localization" area in Global Settings.

I guess you will have to modify code base to support miles.

Actually, the form gives users the option to search by miles or km - and sets default to miles if default country (under localisation) is United States. You can see this on the sandbox at:

I set the default country to US and I now get miles on the public profile. However, I am still seeing km only in the "Search --> Custom Searches --> Proximity Search" in the staff area of CiviCRM.

The custom Proximity Search is a separate "feature" - community contributed as I recall. It hasn't been updated (yet) to support km AND miles. Would be a nice contribution if you're up for doing a patch for this :-)

Brian - Looks like ~4 hrs of work assuming the following changes:
* Add distance unit SELECT input field to the form. Default is miles if Civi default country = US or UK, else default is km.
* Process the query using the selected distance unit

No other changes to form, search results or available search tasks.

Sarah / Brian - If you decide to jump on coding for this, some pointers ...

* Check CRM/Contact/Form/Task/ProximityCommon.php for code which adds in distance_unit form field and sets default based on default country
* the custom search code - CRM/Contact/Form/Search/Custom/Proximity.php - already has been updated to use a shared method for constructing the proximity part of the "where" clause (in  CRM/Contact/BAO/ProximityQuery.php). Check that file for the rules about modifying the distance variable based on distance_units - and incorporate that in the custom search class

Ping us on IRC to discuss further.
