Thanks for the update, but… is it geofields?
Hi guys, and thanks for this! However, I am getting a bit confused, as [Matthias] always told me you need clean data in the back end in order to enable nice things on the front end. In this logic, the conceptually geographic information on “where are you” should not be stored as text data! Do you still agree with that? If you do, then the most logical path seems to me to be the following:
- remove the extra text fields you created.
- install the modules that add geodata handling capabilities to the platform (I spoke to my favorite Drupal guru in Italy and he recommended: Geofields for data storage, Views + Leaflet for visualization)
- re-add the extra fields, this time as geofields
BTW, later in September we will be moving to registration phase 2, where people who already registered for #LOTE3 tell us if they really will come or not. This would be the chance to get at least the participants to fill those fields. So the time for installation is in the next week.
What do you think?
