City - State versus City - Country

I have Premium Groups version 2.0.7. When you go to Groups - Home, I would like to change the text under Map from 'Enter the City and Country (eg. miramer or miramer,US)' to 'Enter the City and State'. Anyone know where I can go to edit the text? Also, the group location is plotted by city and country. Anyone know how to make it plot city and state or zip code, instead? In the US, many city names are used in multiple states so the groups are often plotted in the wrong location. Thanks.

The language key is _bx_groups_map_search_explanation . You interpretation of the logic for the map plotting is incorrect, see the logic used below :

If city and state is entered, it is plotted by city, state and country

If city alone entered, it is plotted by city and country

If no city is entered (but zip code exists), it is plotted by zip code.

PS. The mod has a dedicated support forum which should be used for support requests.

I'm more concerned about the second issue. When a group is created, Premium Groups automatically plots it based on city and country. I live in Madison, Alabama. Premium Groups plots my group in Madison, Wisconsin. How can I make Premium Groups plot the groups city and state or zip code?

That's all great for the script but what about the people that may not know what state a city is in?

PM me your site details so I can look at this Group that is giving you Problems. As mentioned in my previous message, the mod is already coded to plot by City and State if a State is selected.

That's not what I meant. It works as specified. The problem I have with it is purely a viewing one. When someone views a profile or a location, they should not have to go look at the map to see what state the city is in.

I actually don't think that's a group issue but an issue with how the core script is setup. Even if the State isn't required for the maps to work, they should still be displayed by default just for the human interaction part.

Modzzz,

I sent my site information to you via Boonex messaging. I appreciate you looking at the problem.
