Im a little confused with this ..and any help would be appreciated.
I have done multiple tests to figure this out - with no avail.attached images.
Its a 2 fold Issue.
1)
-The Profile Field Qtn "Location"
-Edit User's Profile "Edit Location" (This is connected to Google API and helps with the searches)
These two are not synced up or related . They are separate Locations.
That messes things up with searches by location etc and confuses the user.
2) Community ADs Targeting uses the Location from the Profile Qtn Field Location field. Not the real google API one.
-This will give advertisers the wrong ad targeting info for the users.
- The Search of the location does not work (seperate by commas ). tried many different patterns.
Please feel free to ask any questions to clear up this issue.
Thanks All:
Thread moved to proper forum section for 3rd party discussions.
@playmusician
Pls let us know which 3PD Product(s) you're referring to. Thx.
Hi Donna,Gs
Thanks , But Is this all a 3DP topic?
Isn't Profiles an SE feature?
Gs,
Community ADs is an SEAO plugin.
Please correct me If im wrong.
An update- They have been super responsive in working on this issue and am happy to see them
pro actively helping out:)
Thanks
If you want a separate topic for profiles yes, you can add one but this has third party issues in it and I believe it all relates as I have no "Edit Location" tab here or on the demo unless I missed it so that looks like a third party plugin. So I'm confused as to what is default SE here and what the issue is with default SE.
Donna,
I'm as confused as you:)
There were 2 separate issues
1) Profile Locations / Edit location Sync Issue - whos domain is this? Who should issues regarding this be addressed to.
2) The second part I know - SEAO Community Ads- which they have kindly helped resolve.
Thanks
Please post that issue 1 in a new thread and please detail it more. It sounds like a third party plugin as I don't know anything in default SE that says "Sync" and I don't know what location you are editing as your screenshot shows a button that is not in the default script unless I missed a setting someplace which is possible.
Just checked the tutorial for profile questions and that Edit Location button isn't showing in that tutorial either. Perhaps you have some advanced user plugin?
ok . let me try to just explain Issue 1 The best That I can.
Below, are the 2 "Location" fields Im talking about.
These two 'Location" fields are not synchronized or matched up.(synched up)
They save different values and can confuse a user.
Thanks
Logged In Admin - This Location field does not works with google api.
---------------------
Profile > Add Question > Question Type > "Location" Field
https://mywebsite.com/admin/user/fields
Logged In User - This Location field works with google api
--------------------
Edit "Location"
https://mywebsite.com/members/edit/profile
I will submit this in a new thread. Thanks
Ok but like I said, I can see no Edit Location button in the default script.
Google maps are not integrated into default SE location field. Here is the feature request to add it, http://community.socialengine.com/forums/topic/175/google-maps-api-intergrated-with-locations-profile-q
Ok,
I do have 3Dp plugins,
I will check with them if this is part of their plugin
Thanks
Donna, sorry for the confusion
am still learning which parts and domains are affected by whom.
Its a LOT of stuff as I have over 100 plugins, so can get confusing
But hey, Im learning quick
It's no problem. I just want to make sure if we do have things to answer for you that we do provide you the answers.
I got ya,
Thanks !
The link you shared explained it all - that was exactly the issue.(Google api)
Thanks !
You're welcome
Hope it gets implemented.
Would be awesome, timely and perfect.
