Kevin Carwile Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The ultimate location field adds a new custom field type to your databases created in the IPS Pages / CMS application. The location field is an enhancement of the existing core Address field, with the main difference being that it stores specific locations of latitude/longitude, regardless of if the location has a physical address or not. Features Store any location - not just addresses Choose what types of location data to collect Drag and drop update of location via Google maps Google Places autocomplete search integration Ajax dropdown per user of recently saved locations Autocomplete search of previously saved locations Automatic user geolocation with HTML5 Marketplace: Ultimate Location Field Link to comment
openfire Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi, I'm having an issue with the plugin that I was hoping you could help me with... Right now when I click a spot on the map and then save the article, the resulting published map always shows the marker on a street nearest to where I clicked, instead of the actual spot that was clicked. For example, if I click the map on a spot in the middle of a lake, the resulting map will show the marker at the nearest street location on shore. This is a problem for me, since I need to be able to show markers over bodies of water, and other locations that are not on a street. Is it possible to eliminate that behavior, so that just the exact coordinates are recorded and shown? Any help would be much appreciated! Link to comment
openfire Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 * Just as an update for anyone that needs the functionality described above * Kevin has updated the plugin and it works flawlessly! Great work as always, Thanks again Kevin! Link to comment

jair101 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi @Kevin Carwile, What i basically need is a functionality similar to facebook check-in. The least amount of clicks it requires, the better. I imagine when a user goes somewhere, he clicks a button and automatically his username and location are shown on a google map. Everything saved in a Pages database, with history and everything. A more advanced option will be to see nearby users, sorted by distance from your location at the time of check-in, etc. So I am wondering, can this field be used to develop something with Pages or it sound like something more suitable for a separate app?

Kevin Carwile Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Sounds like an app. Link to comment
