I have only just joined this forum. I am looking for some info on Oxwall to try and determine if it's a suitable choice for a Dating Site I want to build.
I have carried out various searches in this Forum, and in the Plugins area, but haven't yet found what I'm after.
Basically, I want to know if Oxwall has an Advanced Search system typically used on popular dating sites - for example: Ethnicity, Location, Age between 18 and 36, etc.
This is the problem I've found with some other "social/dating site" systems: Users can type in their "City" location, so they'd be found in searches for the city... but, this doesn't really work if people live outside of a major city, because the database doesn't know if a small town is near or far from a specific major city - no Geographic brain in the db! ... so rural users would rarely show up in a search.
Ideally the search system I'm after would have good geography in the database, so that the users would enter a location in their searches, and the search results would also show users that were nearby... like with 25 miles, etc.
Alternatively, I could use a system that would enable my users to choose a country... and then select a Region within that country from a dropdown menu (US State, UK County, etc.), so they would at least be able to see the profiles of users living in villages or small towns.
... The "region" dropdown would have to change to match the "country" that was selected.
I have no idea if this is doable with Oxwall, but if you could give me some guidance with this - I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading :)
