Event radius defaults

We want to localize the default event radius options:
"within 1 mile 5 miles 10 miles 25 miles 50 miles 100 miles"

How do we change the values to:
"within 1/2 mile, 1 mile, 2 miles, 3 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles"

This page:
http://nationbuilder.com/calendar_page_variables
doesn't seem to include documentation on:
{{ page.calendar.distance_radio_buttons }}

(although I see it in the template).

Official response from NationBuilder Support

The radio buttons (and their distance values) called by {{ page.calendar.distance_radio_buttons }} are not editable.

Thanks for the liquid @getup Tech. Hopefully NB will provide a true metric option soon.

By the way, you can also achieve the same outcome (display of “km” with the accompanied error factor of it actually being in miles) in liquid:

`{{ page.calendar.distance_radio_buttons | replace: ‘miles’, ‘km’ | replace: ‘mile’, ‘km’ }}`

Cheers!

@andres Lots of things could be wrong, but it’s hard to help when you share nothing for us to look at. This code works on the Aware theme, which many custom themes are based on. However, if the jquery selector “div.distance label.radio” does not return a list of the radio buttons, then the js code won’t work.

You may have better luck using a liquid filter, like this https://bitbucket.org/campaigngears/nb-public/src/master/metric/_pages_show_calendar.html

For what it’s worth, when I provided the official response above I was still working at NationBuilder. I’m now freelancing as a certified NationBuilder Architect.

Michael — Thanks for that repo. That’s a big help to me on a Canadian project I’m working on at the moment.

For sure, this code can go anywhere in a script or included js file. It replaces the text in the search radius form like “mile” or “miles” with “km”. This doesn’t change the actual radius, just the label. It is likely possible to change the actual search radius to a fractional or approximate value by changing other form values, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. If you get to it , let us know! More detail and updates … https://bitbucket.org/campaigngears/nb-public/src/master/metric/miles-to-km.js

Michael… thanks very much for the jQuery snippet. As a Canuck, I am keen to use km instead of miles.

I am comfortable with the code, but am new to NationBuilder. Would you be able to provide context for where you included the snippet to change the distance labels?

Thanks!

I was able to change the distance labels to metric / km from miles using jQuery. You can probably get away with changing the distance values using a similar technique.
_nb.miles = $('div.distance label.radio').each(function() { $(this).html($(this).html().replace(/miles?/,'km')); });

Have you found a solution to this? We’d like to change these distance_radio_buttons too, with a wider default value…
