Hello John, if you’re interested in creating a location sharing application, you will want to start off with learning how to setup Google API keys . You might also refer to these forum threads where users discuss ways that they have integrated location sharing into their applications:
Basically, I have two kinds of users. Regular Users and Vendors. I need the Vendors to be able to turn their location on and off and have that data passed to google maps to direct Users to the Vendor. I have Google geolocation and Maps plugins’ installed. I’m just unsure of what I need to do on the backend. Any assistance would be fantastic.
Hi everyone
I need to put a field for my user to share his current location so it can be viewed by another user, I want it to be very simple and basic. the user will click a button and his current location will be stored in the database, as simple as that.
Big Thanks in advance!!
Just a heads up that Bubble’s “Current Geographic Position” won’t be populated if you have a non HTTPS (SSL) site in Chrome.
I also suspect that other Browsers will do similar things (having done some fairly unscientific testing on BrowserStack).
Google removed the ability to get the location on “non secure” sites so it won’t be populated.
Note that you may not get any request for location sharing in your browser in this case, the bubble field will just be blank, so it might be worth checking…
