Something with this feature, please? 🙂 🙂
 

Adjust mobile design:
Then create the progressive web app (PWA) with common requirements:
 
My community is begging for an app, and I already lost ~60% of member traffic to Facebook and WhatsApp. Why? Not because my content isn't good enough anymore, but my members use my contents, and afterwards, go on with live messaging/meetings (which is an elemental part in my industry) via Facebook and WhatsApp and I lose control. I can do nothing against it. My competitors don't have contents, but they have active Facebook and WhatsApp groups. The FB/WA messaging functions are way better, and my users require an app icon to remember my site as well as push notifications to their mobiles. Not having an app is blocking my success factors extremely. I'm already considering buying an app development for my WordPress pages (which seems to be cheaper as many developers already did it for the WP platform...), but that would be the point to lose the power an IPS app would have. I'd prefer an IPS app, but I don't have ages to wait for one. We need to speed up any arrangement.
I'd be willing to pay, too!!!

Fixed with @Andy Millne
 Thanx 🙂

Hi 🙂

Great Plugin, first of all 🙂 I'm using the opt out option. Is it possible to add a city search option? From example, I'm from city "A". I see people near me. I would like to see people near another city ("B" , "C", "D" ) without change my location. "People Near Me" Site:

 
And a second request. To add compatibility with the "Friends" application made by @onlyME. It's about the "People you may know" option. It does not consider "Friends" and shows in the "People you may know" section those Users who are already Friends.

Core ideas for member discovery:
When a new member joins, all registered members within X distance get a notification.   After you give X (positive) reactions to the same member, you get a trigger to follow the user.   Notification every X week to recommend new people to follow.  Hovercard add follow button.    App ideas for member discovery
If user starts a private or shared Album and Blog, suggest his strongest connections On Club index or Club member page, suggest clubs or highlight followers who joined the club Topic Summary add a note that says something like "This post is popular with people you follow like Dwight, Pam, and Jim."  OR "This post is popular with people who follow you like Angela, Andy, and Toby."  That would dramatically enrich the value of the topic.  

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will be working on auto IP geolocation support and opt-in/opt-out settings this weekend. 

I've played around with the new release of Connections and, like others above, I would rather be more aggressive on the location-sharingto have it auto-suggested and auto-enabled by default.  
Some thoughts:
Location sharing only becomes useful if a critical mass of users enable the future since it depends on network effects.  Right now, it is opt-in, tucked away in a sub-menu of the app, tucked away in the Connections app, tucked away in its own menu item, almost no one is going to enable it.  You really need everyone to have it turned on by default, which is why I think there should be an ACP option to have location sharing enabled by default as a choice for Admins.  If location sharing is enabled in the ACP, I do believe there should be warning message to Admins they have the responsibility to disclose the extent and type of location sharing in their Terms of Use.  I can definitely see some retail boards turning it on and accidentally exposing everyone's location on accident.   There are different levels of location sharing you can consider: none, enabled with anonymous location, enabled with disclosed location.  I believe 'anonymized' location sharing would be an appropriate default, since it still allows users to see who is nearby without disclosing the actual, specific locations on the front-end.  

The best for location is auto detect the area and suggest profiles based on this, if the user need to change its city he can edit in his profile.
If possible too, to use existing location fields, many sites owners already have user location !

I mean approximate location. Users do not need to see the IP Address. ONLY DISTANCE between Users is given, for example 25 kilometers. This makes sense with the "People near me" option. What about the fact that the User will enter the location manually, since he will later move to other places and will not change the data regarding his location, because he will be too lazy or will not remember it. Privacy? I do not think so. All you need is a button in the Profile Settings  "Don't show my location". Something like "Tinder APP". 
 
Yes, but if the option discussed here could be done, and if Admin decided that the User's location is always the last IP Adress used by him, then the function of completing this field does not make sense.
 
This is the minimum option. But then the "People Near Me" option is a bit of a fiction when Users themselves determine where they are. Either way, I think it's a great add-on and you'll definitely find a balance between location options.

Thank you for your answer.

I already understand that Users must start writing in this field and until they do this their location is not given.

Note, that when Users register, then their location in the ACP Panel is already determined based on the IP Address. It is known that this is not an exact location and may be incorrect. It would be great if Users after registration had already filled in the location field in Your add-on, with this data. They could change dynamically with every last used IP address.

An example of the "Set location based on IP Address?" Button, where Admin would decide whether Users must fill this field themselves, whether editing is not available and the location is based on the IP addresses used.

Adam.

On google maps they will need to start typing the place name and it will autocomplete after 2 characters.
with mapbox they can either start typing or they can click the geolocate button and it will find the nearest town/city based on their device location automatically. 

When you do that, I will buy your add-on. Thank You 🙂

Not currently. But I will be adding a profile completion step very shortly that could be set as required. 

Users are prompted to set the location when accessing the feature or when editing their profile.
If you are using mapbox they can either use an autocomplete nearest city input or a geolocate button on the map. If you’re using google maps there is an autocomplete nearest city input. 

Yes, now working 🙂
Thanx!

Hello @Semenedar
Edit the database and assign a new database key (to your choice):


This should fix it, let me know.
