Default US Zip Code Mod Problem

I am finding that if I enter a zip code to search (one that is NOT exactly a zip code listed for an ad) and select even 100 miles, it comes up as empty. For instance, I have an ad with a zip code of 78760. If I enter 78744 and put 100 miles in the parameter, it says none found. Yet this zip code is within 8 miles. If I put 78744 and select "any distance" I get a blank page. Viewing source code shows a blank page as well. If I select 78760 (for which there IS an ad posted) it works no matter whether I search within a certain distance or "any distance". Something seems to not be working correctly here. Any ideas?

Also, I have read that this module was going to be set to allow searching an extra field. This would be great, because the ad will not necessarily have the same zip code as the registration zip. If this is so, how do I create that ability? If it's not possible yet, how do I make the zip code show up on the ad display itself, along with the address. I don't understand why the address can show but it doesn't show the zip. That can be very helpful.

Hi,

For the first issue you may have to submit a ticket with your ftp details so we can go in and do some testing.

Yes I plan to have it integrate with the extra fields but I will not be able to complete this until v4.1 is out. As for showing the zip code on the viewlisting page I didn't realize that wasn't available. You can just add {$zip} to display this.

Ok, I'll submit a ticket. Also, I got the zip showing for the viewlistings. How do I get it to display on the showlistings as well? I can place it instead of the showcountry and remove the "if" argument, but what do I place in there to display it?
