New State Location thread

[TulsaJeff]

I am working on the Canadian locations as well.. having to so some research since I am not educated in Canadian provinces and postal codes.

From what I gather, you guys have the following provinces:

Alberta
British Columbia
Manitoba
New Brunswick
Newfoundland
Northwest Territories
Nova Scotia
Nunavut
Ontario
Prince Edward Island
Quebec
Saskatchewan
Yukon

Your postal code needs to allow for 7 spaces since it is made up of (2) 3-digit codes separated by a space.

So I am thinking of putting the provinces in the same dropdown as the US states and allowing 7 spaces in the Zipcode field instead of 5 to accomodate both.

State would be changed to State/Province
Zipcode would be changed to Zip/Postal Code

Am I missing anything?

Yes, I agree that it should be an option to fill out those fields... some like their privacy and all that. As far as incentive, how about everyone who fills out one or both of the fields, gets entered into a drawing and the winner gets a week in sunny Tulsa for one-on-one smokin' lessons with Jeff...?

Well, maybe that's a little far fetched, but a prize of some sort anyway... T-shirt or hat with logo of SMF, or a jar of rub... or...?

Thanks Jeff!! I've updated my information, but where do we do a search by state or zip? It's probably right in front of me face but I can't see it.

 

[TulsaJeff]

Click on Members list in the top Nav bar and then in the far right of the members table just below the "X Y Z" you will see the word SEARCH.

Click on the SEARCH link and then on Advanced Search to search by state, zipcode or any other field in the user profile.

You can also use this link to search the Members list:

I'm thinking this has being a Sticky written all over it!!!

 

[squeezy]

Jeff ... I like how you incorporated the states/provinces ... nice touch!
Just one small thing ... for Newfoundland, could you change it to Newfoundland/Labrador as they form one province and I wouldn't want them left out.
I would imagine we won't get to many members from there (short summer) but like to include all.

Thanks Paul

 

[TulsaJeff]

Consider it Done;-)

 

[mrgrumpy]

Thanks Jeff.

I have only one problem. Well, make that two.

I have 2 zip codes.... and when I do the search, I am the only one listed in North Carolina. I think I took a bath last month ... is it time again???

I am sure, as this takes off, others will update their profiles like I just did, and it will work more effectively.

Other than that, looking good. Keep up the great work.

Disclaimer: You do not HAVE to fill these in however, be it known that we are a nosey bunch and we like to know if another member is in our vicinity in case we might want to get together.

There is also some rivalry going on to see which state claims the most members.

I DO NOT want to see any emails about privacy issues.. your privacy is important to us and this is simply a state and a zip.. that's it. If someone wants to find you THAT bad then this info can be bought for 19.95 online any day of the week.

Furthermore if you are worried about it then don't fill it in... we won't hold it against you for more than 7 years at the most
