In my CB community the user is requested to set the 'country' field (where he lives - I have implemented this via a country list).... Besides this the 'city of residence' field is also mandatory ....The problem: At the moment it is possible to choose e.g. 'Switzerland' as a country and 'Peking' as the corresponding city.....which makes no sense.
At the moment I have absolutely no idea how to implement this check:
a) is there a certain API (to 3rd party providers as e.g. Google & co who provide such 'city lists'?
b) may be it is easier to install a 3rd party extensions to fullfill this requirement?
If option b) is chosen the requirements are as follows:
- I think the extension has to be CB compliant
- the chosen city (value) has to be stored in the corresponding cb (city) field
- as an option it could be useful if the location (= the chosen city) is stored in a way that radius search can be implemented later
Until now I have browsed through many extensions on the market which fullfill the above requirements but also do many useless things. I have completely lost the overview. So I wanted to ask if there is a certain recommendation how to proceed: a) or b) ...and if b) is chosen: Is there a certain stable & nice CB compliant extension you could recommend (free of charge or as paid download)
You can use Query Select fields provided by CB Query Field and the Update On provided by CB Core Fields Ajax to chain country > state > city fields together. See the below tutorial on how to do this.
Note the sample state, city, zip data we provide is for USA only. You'll need to source data from elsewhere or just display a text field for them to supply city and zip. As for searching we do not provide a means of radius searching.
