INTRODUCTION
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Current maintainer: Brandon Bergren <http://drupal.org/user/53081>
|
||||
|
||||
Location module and its associated API allows Drupal objects, including nodes
|
||||
and users, to be associated with specific physical locations.
|
||||
|
||||
This package consists of several modules, including:
|
||||
- Location (required): Base module that provides a standard API and storage for
|
||||
location data.
|
||||
- Location Add Another: Quickly add additional locations directly from a node.
|
||||
- Location Fax: Add a fax number to a location.
|
||||
- Location Phone: Add a phone number to a location.
|
||||
- Location Search: A custom search page for locations.
|
||||
|
||||
For Drupal 6, Views support has been rolled directly into the base Location module.
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALLATION
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy the files to your sites/SITENAME/modules directory.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enable the Location module and any desired optional modules at Administer >>
|
||||
Site building >> Modules (admin/build/modules).
|
||||
|
||||
3. Set user permissions for Location module at Administer >> User management >>
|
||||
Access control (admin/user/access).
|
||||
|
||||
4. Configure Location module's settings at Administer >> Site configuration >>
|
||||
Location (admin/settings/location). Here, you may configure settings related
|
||||
to how Location fields are displayed, how location data is gathered, what
|
||||
geocoding service is used to translate addresses to longitude and latitude
|
||||
points, and which mapping service should display them.
|
||||
|
||||
5. If you wish to collect location data about content, go to Administer >>
|
||||
Content management >> Content types and click "edit" on the given type, such
|
||||
as "Event". In the Locative information fieldset, expand and set your
|
||||
options accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
6. (Optional) Import a postal codes database for the countries served by your
|
||||
website, to support proximity searches and other useful features. Postal
|
||||
code databases may be found in the "databases/" sub-directory of the
|
||||
Location module directory. The files are in the format of zipcodes.CC.mysql,
|
||||
where CC is a two-letter country code such as 'us' or 'de'.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If your site is using table prefixes, you will need to adjust for this
|
||||
manually, by opening the file in a text editor and replacing 'zipcodes' with
|
||||
'prefix_zipcodes' throughout.
|
||||
|
||||
To import the files from the command line, enter the following:
|
||||
|
||||
cd sites/SITENAME/modules/location
|
||||
mysql -u username -p database-name < database/zipcodes.us.mysql
|
||||
|
||||
KNOWN ISSUES
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Node locations and CCK locations cannot safely be used on the same content types.
|
||||
You can use both on one site but they must be used on different content types.
|
||||
To turn node locations off for a particular content type edit the content type
|
||||
and set the max number of locations to zero.
|
||||
The problem is that node locations can interfere with the saving of cck locations
|
||||
and you can end up losing your cck locations.
