Suggestion update location field on each login?

[moshbit]

apologies if this is already implemented, but it would be great to have this addon attempt to update the user's location field of their profile on each login, so it's always updated

if it's an issue of consent or permissions, i'd say users can just hit the 'block' button when google asks if my site can use their location...

Hi,
For the moment i don't plan to add new features on my addons, i will only make maintenance release.
But i keep your thread for futur release

Implement in 1.2.0 only if location field is blank
If you have many trouble please create new thread

sorry to trudge up an old thread, but would it be possible to enable geoip update even if the field is already filled in?

i run a travel website that tries to facilitate meetups in real life. if locations were updated on every login, everyone would know when someone is close to them and possibly make contact. i believe this would be very useful for travel-oriented websites like mine, where the user base is constantly moving around the world

thank you for all your hard work!

I don't think i will implement this feature in xf1 version
But you can try this if you want

In XFA/MembersMap/CronEntry/GeoIp.php

Replace

if($location)
{
    self::_insertLocationFromAdress($location, $userId);
}
else
{
    if($acpOptions->xfa_map_use_geoip) 
    {
        $user['ip'] = XenForo_Helper_Ip::convertIpBinaryToString($user['ip']);
        $ip = $user['ip'];
        if ($ip)
        {
            self::_insertLocationFromIp($ip, $userId);
        }
    }
}

By

    if($acpOptions->xfa_map_use_geoip) 
    {
        $user['ip'] = XenForo_Helper_Ip::convertIpBinaryToString($user['ip']);
        $ip = $user['ip'];
        if ($ip)
        {
            self::_insertLocationFromIp($ip, $userId);
        }
    }

It's should be work but i haven't try it

seems to work for accounts that don't have the information already filled, but not ones that already have location info. if it's a feature coming up in xf 2, it's not a huge deal, i can wait until then. i'm definitely enjoying the addon in the meantime!

I think it's will be a possibility for XF2
