Hello,
I am working on a personals site for a client. The site will have profiles for each person on the site. So, I guess the way to present the results of a search or browse feature would be with the Views module, right? Views would display results, such as People, based on the criteria that one filters upon. Maybe we want to show only men seeking women over 40 who don't smoke.
I know there are other dating sites that have used Drupal but has anyone on this list done this? Does anyone know of any other modules that would help with this kind of task of returning a list of users based on profile data?
Next, how does one find all the People, users who are located within 25, 50 or 100 miles of the searcher's location? I know it can be done based on lat and long coordinates, but would you do that at the time of the search function when it is run? I cannot imagine with a large database you'd store the distance between each and every two persons.
Thanks,
Bruce
