The location search is implemented in a separate service (Clojure + ElasticSearch) and we don’t yet have good installation instructions for setting up the search service. That’s what is still missing. We don’t feel that it’s yet good enough to be opened.
But we’re working hard to make that part of the open source product!
Hello
I instal the last version of sharetribe but the search location section is not avaialble
Also the search using the name of the publisher is not working
Can yuou confim that the last version of sharetribe 7.1 propose the functionality advanced serching
Almost 3 years later, do you have a good documentation to release this location search feature in the open code??? This kinda the principle of open source…
Don’t mean to be rude but you’ve been holding this feature for your exclusive use for over 2 years… What should we think??
thanks for the candid feedback! I definitely understand the frustration here.
One challenge is that things for the location search are not really in a state ready to be shared. Documentation is far from perfect, code could be improved and commented, etc. Releasing things in the current state wouldn’t be too helpful without some decent context and docs, and we wouldn’t be able to support and answer questions without lots of extra work.
Unfortunately we’ve decided not to prioritize that task so far.
We have to make choices and we’ve decided to focus on new Go features, updates, upgrades but also on our latest product Flex, along with everything that happens in the daily life of a company.
I know this isn’t the answer you expected, and I really hope that at some point we’ll be able to work again on Go location search to make it ready to be publicly released. I don’t have any timeline to share, but we’ll of course annonce it here if things change.
Hopefully you’ll be able to move forward with your marketplace with all the other features available (and the new ones recently added) and/or consider building your own service for this (or ask others who have moved forward independently from us to contribute their code)!
Just to add that we successfully patched the location search to sharetribe 7.4.0 using the instructions found at https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/pull/3256. By all accounts it was fairly straightforward. We have since upgraded to 7.6.0 with no issue.
No, you are correct. While we were able to implement and have had no issue with it, there was some effort to get it working. I tried to get more details for you but the developer doesn’t now recall the steps he took.
So it’s still worth pursuing, just not as straightforward as I was lead to believe.
Would your dev be able to share the code on Github or Gitlab?
Can you point to a repo please?
That’d be great to finally have the location search in open source.
Been struggling with the location search for days. The location search doesn’t work properly.
For instance, a listing is located in Toronto. It will appear only if location search = Toronto. I
If location search = Ontario, it won’t appear, while Toronto is in Ontario.
If location search = Brampton, it won’t appear, while Brampton is Toronto suburb.
If location search = Canada, it won’t appear, while Toronto is in Canada.
So the location search behaves inconsistently and won’t show in order of proximity like it does in Sharetribe hosted
@thomasmalbaux if you have some guidance, could you please share?
Thanks!
