Hello, I was wondering if there is a plugin for Elgg that might be useful on a dating site. In such a site typically you have a situation where people want to find other members that are within a certain number of miles of their location, say 50 miles. Has anything like this already been done in a plugin?
Thanks,
Bruce

You must log in to post replies.Not really. The closest one is profile manager that provides an advance search for members, but nothing like this exists so far.

Would be useful to be able to do advanced searches for profiles for gender, location, age, etc. I know I'd definetly use the plugin if someone decides to create such a thing for finding people in your area.
hey rj, would you be able to confirm if advance search is still available? I've been looking around profile manager and not able to locate this advance search feature!
The advanced search was removed in the 1.8 versions of profile manager
its a shame
It is still there, but as a separated plugin https://github.com/ColdTrick/search_advanced
@ Gerard Kanters: it's not, that plugin is something completely different as what people are asking for here and it's definitely no replacement for the advanced profile field search that was taken out of profile manager.
I think filtering on profile fields is about the most wanted plugin for Elgg ever, using "get_entities_from_metadata" and with vasco's caching it wouldn't even be so hard probably, but I wish I had an idea on how to start...
inbox me if anyone know a plugin to do this please send flirts etc, so with the plugin you have just mentioned Gerard Kanters i would need to use profile manager which i am but have not setup age and gender yet if that is possible, the maker of profile manager is going to make a tutorial when he has time so waiting for that too : )
