Sobi2 Nearby Places ModuleExtension Specific Addon

The Sobi2 Nearby Places module shows the nearest places from the current entry in the detailed view of Sobi2 entries by using Longitude and Latitude fields.

I created this module because I think more important the distance than the (eg) date of creation in the address based Sobi2 directories. (eg hotels, restaurants, schools, shops )

The Sobi2 Nearby Places module shows:

* the nearest places from the current entry in the detailed view of Sobi2 entries using by Longitude and Latitude fields.
* the nearest places from the setted position using by Longitude and Latitude fields.

You can set:

- maximum entries
- maximum distance
- add position manually (it shows any page on you site) OR position of current entry (it shows only the details view page)
- from all category
- only from current category (if exist catid in url)
- from selected category
- only from category or from category and subcategories (if exist catid in url)
- show title
- show image
- show icon
- show custom field (you can set up to 3 custom field)
- hide title if there is no output (no places)

The distances are calculated from field_longitude/field_latitude fields or what you set in the Sobi2 component setting in Map are.
