It would be great to be able to access the users location in order to filter for location specific content. For example local events or classes etc..

Hey all, we're starting a big chunk of work to improve location functionality across Adalo and this is just one piece of it (also see https://ideas.adalo.com/feature-requests/p/location-property-type). Over the next few months we're hoping to add address search, the ability to save locations to the database, and an action for grabbing the logged in user's location to do things like filter and sort lists based on distance. We have a lot to do here so we appreciate your patience but I'm leading a group of folks who will be dedicated to this effort full time. Thanks!

Ahmad Alabdrabalnabi: We released this months ago. Our installation server went down on Friday so you will need to manually install it yourself from our github until our server is back online.

Will this new location functionality enable users to put a pin on the map ? Josh Johnson

Josh Johnson do you have any updates on this? It would be great if we could get an estimated timeframe so we could also align our development and business activities and decisions with that information. Thank you.
Josh Johnson
Karl K: We're working on adding location searching/saving/retrieval all across Adalo at the moment and it's going well. I estimate a public launch roughly six weeks into the new year. I know that sounds like a lot but we want to make sure these features are deeply integrated into Adalo and are a first class experience. We'll get there!
Karl K
Josh Johnson: I see, thank you for your reply. Now we can plan accordingly.

I have created a new private marketplace that will let you install the components without the need to be a developer.

Hey Josh Johnson
Don't get me wrong but, I am one of the early adopters of Adalo, which means I have been waiting almost 3 years for this component. Steven McKeown has done a great job creating it for us but, after more them 30 days we still don't see it in the marketplace, even though he is doing everything necessary to have it published.
So I am wondering if Adalo is holding his component back because they may be working on something? And if so, are you guys intend to make us wait for 3, 4 months more?
I don't believe my app will survive that long without this feature, So, why not publish his component?
Claire Bilski
Bruno Ribeiro: Hi Josh Johnson, I agree with Bruno. I would like an update on the status of this, if possible. Thanks,
Claire
Bruno Ribeiro
well, I think Adalo's team sees this channel as one single-way conversation. They come here, write something, we then agree, make some comments, ask some questions... and that it..No answer is ever given, at least not here. The Forum is also another place where they may answer some questions but officially, they are not there to answer you.
So what is the channel? Support Tickets? Should I help Adalo to improve the platform by sending support tickets? The only place where I get real answers is the slack channel. Scott Massey is always receptive and participative. The rest is a shadow
Josh Johnson
Bruno Ribeiro: Hey Bruno. Steven and I met a while back to discuss the component and to be open about how we are baking similar functionality into the platform. As I understand it, Steven's component grabs your location as soon as you hit a screen without any interaction from the user. The marketplace rules for third party components require the functionality to be tied to a visual element. As it currently stands, this is more of an action. We would love to have actions in the marketplace but we're not quite ready for them now. If I misunderstand how the component works and it does follow all our guidelines, please correct me and we can see about getting it published! I also recommend reaching out to Steven if you'd like his component immediately. I could be wrong but I think it is available as a private component today!
Bruno Ribeiro
Josh Johnson: Not exactly, the last version I am using creates a button and the location is required after the user's interaction by touching that button.

Quick update to my last post. I created the GeoLocation component to fetch the users latitude and longitude, but I still needed to send that data to a backend service to filter the records. I have now added a new component to the same library that will handle filtering the records on the client (this is important to note that it is client side filtering). A quick video can be found here

Steven McKeown: Hi Steven, any update on getting your component into the marketplace?

Steven McKeown: Good job! The GPS component is working in Android but the GeoFilteredList it's crashing. Would be great if you make the GeoFilteredList that is custom.

Steven McKeown
David Lakošeljac: thanks David. Yup, i released the filtered list "by devs, for devs", my bad. I think i will get it fixed up tomorrow. Feel free to follow the progress of the fix here:
Wont be long.
