Ultimate Member User Locations Addon GPL v1.1.3

The Ultimate Member User Locations Addon integrates Google Maps into your Ultimate Member plugin, allowing you to display user locations on a map within the member directory. It provides a seamless way for users to add and search for locations, enhancing the social interaction and searchability of your site’s members.

Key Features of Ultimate Member User Locations Addon:

1. Add User Location Field to Registration and Profile Forms:
   • The addon allows you to add a location field to both the registration and profile forms, enabling users to enter their location directly in their profiles.
2. Auto-Detect User Location:
   • The extension can auto-detect the user’s location (with user permission) when they click the pin icon in the location field. This feature requires the user to allow sharing their location, making it easier for them to set their location on the map.
3. User Location Search Field in Member Directory:
   • A search field is added to the member directory, allowing users to search for others by their location. This feature enhances the ability to find members who are in close proximity or in a specific area.
4. Map Display in Member Directory:
   • The member directory is enhanced with a map view where user locations are plotted, providing a visual representation of where your members are located.
5. User Clustering for Proximity:
   • The addon supports user clustering, which groups users who are in close proximity on the map. This helps declutter the map when multiple users are located in the same area.
6. User Avatars on the Map:
   • User avatars are displayed on the map, marking the location of each user. This adds a personal touch to the map, making it easier to identify users.
7. Profile Card on Avatar Click:
   • When a user’s avatar is clicked on the map, a small profile card appears, showing the user’s avatar, display name, and additional information (which you can configure in the member directory settings).
8. Find Users by Dragging the Map:
   • Users can drag the map to explore different areas and find other users based on location. This interactive feature makes the map more dynamic and user-friendly.

Benefits of Using Ultimate Member User Locations Addon:

• Enhanced User Interaction: The ability to view users on a map makes your member directory more engaging and interactive, encouraging users to connect based on proximity.
• Better Searchability: The location search feature allows users to easily find others based on their geographical area, which can be especially useful for community-based websites or those looking to connect users locally.
• Increased Customization: The ability to customize the profile card and decide what information to display ensures the map fits your site’s needs.
• Google Maps Integration: With the integration of the Google Maps API, users can have an accurate and reliable map experience, and the auto-detection feature streamlines the process of adding locations.

The Ultimate Member User Locations Addon is perfect for community-based sites, dating platforms, or any website that benefits from location-based member interactions. It makes the member directory more visually appealing and functional by providing a dynamic map that helps users discover each other based on geographic proximity.
