I think this need some code work here right?

I think the step here need to take:

  1. modify UI, (html,css,javascript, jQuery, maybe some React)

  2. use google API to get?(lat lng? )

  3. how backend receive location and output item?
    need some customize code here right?
    open source version didn’t support this yet.

so Question is : how to implement this location search?
is there any native support from Open source version that can save my time?

Thank you !

It’s coming :slight_smile:

https://www.sharetribe.com/community/t/will-the-new-improved-search-function-on-sharetribe-com-come-to-the-open-source-version/107

The location search is implemented in a separate service (Clojure + ElasticSearch) and we don’t yet have good installation instructions for setting up the search service. That’s what is still missing. We don’t feel that it’s yet good enough to be opened.

But we’re working hard to make that part of the open source product!

we have the same problem, is any body have a piece of code to add on the open source version to solve this HUGE issue

Anybody can help us ?

Hello
I instal the last version of sharetribe but the search location section is not avaialble
Also the search using the name of the publisher is not working
Can yuou confim that the last version of sharetribe 7.1 propose the functionality advanced serching

Hey guys,

Almost 3 years later, do you have a good documentation to release this location search feature in the open code??? This kinda the principle of open source…

Don’t mean to be rude but you’ve been holding this feature for your exclusive use for over 2 years… What should we think??

Hi there,

thanks for the candid feedback! I definitely understand the frustration here.

One challenge is that things for the location search are not really in a state ready to be shared. Documentation is far from perfect, code could be improved and commented, etc. Releasing things in the current state wouldn’t be too helpful without some decent context and docs, and we wouldn’t be able to support and answer questions without lots of extra work.

Unfortunately we’ve decided not to prioritize that task so far.

We have to make choices and we’ve decided to focus on new Go features, updates, upgrades but also on our latest product Flex, along with everything that happens in the daily life of a company.

I know this isn’t the answer you expected, and I really hope that at some point we’ll be able to work again on Go location search to make it ready to be publicly released. I don’t have any timeline to share, but we’ll of course annonce it here if things change.

Hopefully you’ll be able to move forward with your marketplace with all the other features available (and the new ones recently added) and/or consider building your own service for this (or ask others who have moved forward independently from us to contribute their code)!

Thanks for taking the time.

Hey @_strainly,

Just to add that we successfully patched the location search to sharetribe 7.4.0 using the instructions found at https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/pull/3256. By all accounts it was fairly straightforward. We have since upgraded to 7.6.0 with no issue.

Thanks @Geopast !
If I’m correct, some people seemed to have issues with this patch (see comments on git you shared). Or I’m misunderstanding.

I had planned to try it out.

Thanks again

Hey @_strainly,

No, you are correct. While we were able to implement and have had no issue with it, there was some effort to get it working. I tried to get more details for you but the developer doesn’t now recall the steps he took.

So it’s still worth pursuing, just not as straightforward as I was lead to believe.

Best,
Neil

Hey @Geopast

Would your dev be able to share the code on Github or Gitlab?
Can you point to a repo please?
That’d be great to finally have the location search in open source.

Thanks

Hey @Geopast

Been struggling with the location search for days. The location search doesn’t work properly.

For instance, a listing is located in Toronto. It will appear only if location search = Toronto. I
If location search = Ontario, it won’t appear, while Toronto is in Ontario.
If location search = Brampton, it won’t appear, while Brampton is Toronto suburb.
If location search = Canada, it won’t appear, while Toronto is in Canada.

So the location search behaves inconsistently and won’t show in order of proximity like it does in Sharetribe hosted

@thomasmalbaux if you have some guidance, could you please share?
Thanks!

Unfortunately I have no experience with that version but hopefully others will be able to share a few ideas/thoughts.
