Search Button (user location)

HI guys,

I’m very new to the bubble platform and need some help understanding
how i could create a button that find the users location that clicked the button and then search
that postcode, then to find a shop within 5km from them. and show the result on a new page

The way you’d do it is, if you were to do this on the same page (which is simpler), You’d have a repeating group that can display shops and have a workflow that does

When the button is clicked, display list in repeating group, and the data source of that action being “Do a search for shops with the constraint address is within 5km of current position” You’ll find current position in the dropdown.

No need to worry about zip code here.

So i’ve found that its easier to create the data/ info first and then create the search functionality to go with it.

Start off making a data base for the users where they can store their location, then create the search functionality.

create search button–> then create the repeating group as youve done, in the properties box, make the content type = geographic address

make the data source = repeating group results’ list of geographic addresses

that should be it. I think there’s a tutorial on it too you could check out.

Good Luck!
