I'm sorry if it's obvious but I cannot find the advanced search box anywhere in boonex 7. I see the setup adn ability to edit the people advanced search but there doesn't appear to be any module to perform advanced searches.

Anyone able to tell me where its it? YOu don't have to reply you can email I will send you a hug in return as I"m pulling my hair out trying to find this. Did they forget to put it in?? |
At this point I am willing to be the feature is non-existent. Can anyone confirm whether they can find an advanced people search ability as provided for in the Admin page builder? |
Little design improvment requested in search by location (screenshots made using IE7)(ticket http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1341)

Thank you shaneed. Problem, there is not an option when you are in people search to go from the default quick search to advanced search. There needs to be some way to get to advanced search other than typing it into the browser. Problem, the location/distance thing does not work. I put in a user with a zip in CA, did a search for someone within 10 miles of a GA zip, CA and all users came back registering positive. |
To search by location/distance/zip you need to import zipcodes files: http://www.expertzzz.com/Downloadz/home/author/BoonEx/ (was free for Contributors, not sure if these files will work with D7). There is a very useful mod I am using with D6.1: "63 Countries ZIP Code Search" made by kolimarfey http://www.expertzzz.com/Downloadz/view/4120. Hope that kolimarfey will update his mod for D7 as it doesn't need any hudge database... Life is a fatal disease, sexually transmissible - Virginity is carcinogenic! Ask here for vaccine. |
Added a ticket asking for a link or menu tab to go from People Search to Advanced Search: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1343 Anyway I think that you can add such tab within your Admin panel Builders...

If you're not too lazy, you can create a NEW_ITEM in Menu Builder and type there Advanced Search, with the proper link to it. And you're done... |
If you're not too lazy, you can create a NEW_ITEM in Menu Builder and type there Advanced Search, with the proper link to it. And you're done... Your right I can. However, given the fact that the advanced search function is not listed anywhere or instructions on how to call it, it stands to reason I am not the only one who didn't know how to call it. Sorry if I don't have your same level of experience with the software but I believe putting a default link on the search page is not only intuitive, but ensures that all operators have the ability to direct members to advanced search without adding the link themselves (if they even realize they don't have access to advanced search by default) |
@ mauricecano Ticket was added... Will see if devs will agree or not with that ;-) Life is a fatal disease, sexually transmissible - Virginity is carcinogenic! Ask here for vaccine. |

@ mauricecano
I forgot that Google Maps is now implemented in D7. Search by distance, view of nearest members are maybe possible now with this API...? Life is a fatal disease, sexually transmissible - Virginity is carcinogenic! Ask here for vaccine. |
I think your right. |
