'Contact Locator' feature using drupal and CiviCRM
November 01, 2012, 03:48:59 am
Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to build a 'contact locator' using Drupal and CiviCRM using Mapping and Geocoding. What i'm looking to do is basically have a webform in Drupal in which allows a visitor to input a postcode and CiviCRM will retrieve a map showing all contacts in a 10 mile radius of that postcode. Just wondering if anything like that has been done in CiviCRM?

Thanks
Joe
