More specific location information

Hi,

I tried to search this issue, but wasn't able to find anything specific. 

I have a quite basic Una installation, and Google API keys are succesfully set up. Users are able to search their loaction and save it to their profiles. But the problem is, that only their country is been shown in the profile. In our community nearly all users are in the same country, so the more specific location information would be necessary.

Should I make my own field and insert all the hundreds of cities to the custom field, or could I somehow be able to use the default location field to display at least the user's country and city?

    • Helle SamiS, I do not think you can use a second location field on the same page, it should be confirmed.
      Note that the country field with the complete list already exists.
      I think the best solution for you right now is to create a city and zip code field. Just leave them free. Linking them to a data list in my opinion is not a good idea because it will be long and finding a city in will be difficult.
      I think there will be a new solution in a future version on this subject. with the integration of OpenStreetMap, look here: https://una.io/page/view-discussion?id=781

        Hi Baloo,

        Thanks for your informative reply! I followed your suggestion and created new fields for city. Great to know, that there will be OpenStreetMap integration in the future, I'm curiously waiting for it. 😊
