Bounty Job: Geo Tagging & Filter Solution for Drupal 5
We are Laughter Yoga International, a Mumbai based international non-profit. We urgently require geo functionality for a new Drupal 5 site (see http://drupal.org/node/149257).
This multi-tier worldwide geo tagging component will be applied to all nodes, photos, articles, events & members on our site. It will be used to match users with appropriate content, and in our service & event finder will be used to locate and filter appropriate geographic results.
Ideally this should be part of the taxonomy for the site, but we will look at other ways also.
Geo levels are planned as follows but we will listen to other ideas:
REGION will be for example Europe, Asia, etc and is used to reduce the number of countries in the COUNTRY list for user friendliness (from our data)
COUNTRY will be a list of countries (from our data). Ideally this should incorporate an ‘alias’ function to deal with inputs like GB, Great Britain, UK, United Kingdom, Britain & England; US, USA, United States, etc.
STATES for now only required in US, Canada, Germany, India Australia (from our data)
CITY/TOWN: this should be added by the user, with auto complete used to prevent mis-spelling of cities already added by other users.
