Postcode searches in the UK

[James]

Hi! 🙂

I am currently using Events Calendar Pro (loving it) however I am experiencing problems running the filter bar which should allow users to search via Geolocation. The website I run aims to connect car and motorcycle enthusiasts in the UK with shows of interest to them.

The issue I am having is allowing users to find events with a certain distance of their location. Ideally I would like them to be able to enter their postcode and filter events within a chosen distance. There are several difficulties I am encountering:

1 – The filter bar’s location search field does not seem to be working when I enter a UK city. For instance when I enter ‘London, UK’ or ‘Birmingham, UK’ the relevant shows do not appear in the calendar.

2 – I would prefer users to be able to search via their own postcode. To format this would require the ability to search by postcode.
I found this website http://events.eightlane.org/latest/ on your showcase page which manages to achieve postcodes searches in the UK and wondered how I could replicate that functionality.

Your help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to website creation!

With thanks,

James
