    Hi, I really need help setting up locations using BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types.

    Where do I put these fields
    The geocode will be saved in the usermeta table in this format:

    meta_key = geocode_[field id]
    meta_value = [latitude], [longitude]

    or do I need to get a google map api and if so where does code go?

    I looked in the docs and could not find a tutorial.

    Thank you
    Kim

    I found a location plugin that was put in the website before I took it over. Does the Google Place Autocomplete work in a search for people to find others near by or within so many miles of them?

    Thank you

    Sorry to keep posting on this but I found other post on this topic which said to use BP xProfile Location. No matter if I use BP xProfile Location or the Google Place Autocomplete all that happens is when I click the box on the profile it’s a list of Exclamation points. thank you for an advice you can give me

    Hi Kim,
    Thank you for the questions.

    I have BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types and I added in BP xProfile Location https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-location/

    When I pick the field type as location is give me these instruction
    The geocode will be saved in the usermeta table in this format:

    meta_key = geocode_[field id]
    meta_value = [latitude], [longitude]

    I missed part the the instruction

    Do you want this field to save a geocode for each member?

    Pick Yes or No

    The geocode will be saved in the usermeta table in this format:

    meta_key = geocode_[field id]
    meta_value = [latitude], [longitude]

    You can then use the geocode in your mapping solution.
    Or use a solution like BP Maps for Members.
    For Groups Maps, see BP Maps for Groups.
