Location, views and panel !

Hi,

I do not know if I'm right, creating a new post, many case seems similar.

I need use Location espacially in my views but it's failed !

In Views
filters/exposed :
- using location_cck : distance/proximity doesn't exist ;
- using node_location (or user_location - as appropriate) ; distance/proximity option is there but le result is always empty.

fields :
- location_cck returns empty result (whereas returns ZIP+City in panels) ;
- user_location : I don't remember my test but It seems to me, it's work like node_locations.

Regarding the form to define locations, I'm using postcode + city (country as force default and hide => France).
I also updated the database, adding all the cities and their zipcode in the table (with the file database / zipcodes.fr.mysql in location folder).

Users pages use content-profiles to expanding their profile. I first tried to identify the locations with user_location, then node_location (in the type linked to users) and finally location_cck.

I also have other nodes (like events) which can be localizable.

the interest of such a site is the possibility to filter by city, zip code or proximity, to click on the 'place' of a record to get all nodes with this place, and therefore use the field location in the views.

- How to run a search by proximity / distance of the nodes or users?
- User_location and node_location are used in panel? For now, only location_cck allowed me to insert location in a panel

I read the various issues in this module but I do not know what patches are suitable for me (my English doesn't allow me to really understand all the nicety of messages).
Are my problems solvable ?
If it is not, that is the existence of my site, in challenge !

Thanks for your attention !
