I'm currently working on a project and our site uses CB. This allows us to have registration of users by type. I have 2 types of users and want 1 user type to be able to search the second group and sort them by location.
Both user types have an address associated with their records.
I want to use user1s address to find people from user2 based on proximity.
Has anyone done this or are there any plugins around that could be utilised?
We have no proximity based searching. For that you need some sort of realtime mapping API like Google Maps API or a giant list of zip codes so you can do a radius search based off the code (not always accurate). Best you could do out of the box is just let them search the address field(s). There have been some radius search plugins (and one is planned, but I've no idea when I'll get around to it), but I don't think they've been upgraded for CB 2.x.

Nope, once we've our documentation updated and our new JP site we'll have more examples available. For now I recommend using an existing fieldtype plugin like CB Gravatar Field as a starting point. Then reviewing the cbFieldHandler class carefully as well as cb.core.php for field behavior.
