I’m building an app where I want users to be able to search other users by location and interests… How do I get my users input this information so that other users can find them with it, because users only input their email, password and usernames… Help please
Hi @Presh
The easiest way to do that is to create a collection of all possible locations (for example: all countries) and add create a connection with the Users collection.
You can then add the collection to the sign-up form.
I hope this helps!
Thanks, this is helpful, so by doing that, will the users be able to input their locations themselves??

Sorry, I don’t understand clearly, do u mean I create one collection for location and put all possible locations on the database of the location collection?? Or
Do u mean I have create entirely a new collection for each location??

Yes, I will go through this process:
1- create only one collection that includes the list of possible locations (for example countries). So to answer your question, yes do it as you described below
2- Create a connection between the location collection and the User collection. Choose the first option if each user can only choose one location
3- add the location collection to the signup form:
Once they click sign up each user will have his own location that you can filter later.

Just for information : There is a request for get the Device Location that Adalo Team is working on and I believe when that released you don’t need to a add a field to add the location. And also Pragmaflow also created a component : GeoLocation filtering and GPS tacking

@Presh You’re welcome!
For multiple interests, you will do the same steps except for #2, choose the second option instead of the first one.
@dilon_perera Hi Dilon, I will definitely try the component, never tried it before. Thanks!
