We use the map module in dw 9.7 no rapido, and get our users through an integration. The geo long/lat is saved in the user, but when the user is imported these fields are not set, and the only way I've found to trigger update on ACCESSUSERGEOLOCATIONLAT and ACCESSUSERGEOLOCATIONLNG is by opening and saving the users one by one. Very time consuming! Is there another way I can trigger an update

Hi Siv,

 

Yes... Go to Settings > Control Panel > Maps

Choose a user group and click "Update". You may need the proper Google Maps credentials and remember they now charge after a few thousand request per month.

 

Best Regards,

Hi,

I was just facing the same problem, and this solved the problem. However, I assume that this have to be done manually each time new users are imported. Is there a way to update geolocations programmatically on a site running DW 9.8.10?

Kind regards,
Roald, Novicell

Dynamicweb.Security.SystemTools.Maps:

Use GetLocation to return a location object with lat and long. It takes an address as parameter: string.Format("{0} {1} {2} {3} {4}", user.Address, user.Address2, user.Zip, user.City, user.Country).Trim();

Use SetGeolocationFromGoogleMaps to set lat and long on a user or group object.

Requires that you have the maps module (all current licenses should have that) and that you have configured maps with an API key, see docs. Be aware of Google maps api quotas.
