Michael, thanks for your support! I’ll try to add this info to the readme.

The method you want is “geolocate()”. This is called on the table of the model you have acting as geolocatable. For instance, if you have an “Office” model, call Doctrine::getTable(’Office’)->geolocate().

The geolocate method by default takes a zip code as the first argument to pull the latitude/longitude. Consult the source code to configure it differently. The second argument is distance in miles. By default, this value is 10. The method returns a collection of those objects found in the given radius from the zip code passed.

I hope this is what you’re looking for!

I agree, great work. I’m using your csDoctrineActAsGeolocatablePlugin plugin. It works well for getting and storing the Lat an Long of a location but I can’t seem figure out how to do a radius search with it, like a store location based on zip code. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

Great work, csDoctrineActAsSortablePlugin is what I was looking for for a long time.

I haven’t try the other plugins yet, but I surely will.

Thanks
