I've actually moved to using JomSocial now, but the same problem exists there.
I'm not a PHP programmer so aren't able to put together a component/module, but I have hacked together a solution using Fabrik (
www.fabrikar.com
) that can work with any geocoded table. It does require being able to create a custom MySQL view to suit your data, and also install some MySQL functions, but as long as your host is reasonably up to date that shouldn't be an issue.
At the moment you can search based on distance between members, but not the ZCS method of doing a search within a postcode radius. I could probably hack something together for that too.
I'm pretty short on time at the moment (and have been for a couple of years now developing my site!) so haven't had a chance to put together a description of what I've done.
You can check out my solution at
www.fittogether.se
(don't worry, defaults to english). The site is still under construction, but login with demo:demo and do a "Find a friend" search down the right side, set to 10km, and it should find a few of the members. The version I originally did for CB works exactly the same.
So, in short, it requires installing Fabrik, and the ability to work directly with MySQL.
If you think you can do that yourself let me know and I'll see about finding some time to outline what I did on my website. Otherwise you'll need to pay me or someone else to do it for you, which may not be cheap.
