Introduction<\/a>\u00a0– Installation<\/a>\u00a0– Configuration<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(search autocompleter settings<\/a>\u00a0– near autocompleter settings<\/a>\u00a0– redirect settings on first time load<\/a> – geolocation settings<\/a>)<\/p>\n

<\/a>Introduction<\/h3>\n

This addon extends the default GeoDirectory search widget by letting you filter search results by certain custom fields you may have added to your listings.<\/p>\n

For example, if you had added a custom select field\u00a0Pet Friendly<\/strong><\/em> you could then filter results that only include pet friendly listings, this could be useful for hotels, caf\u00e9\u2019s, bars etc.<\/p>\n

You can also filter by multiple values, you could set up your directory so you could search for Pet Friendly<\/strong><\/em>, F<\/strong><\/em>\u201d listings within 10 miles of the location you enter in the Near<\/strong><\/em> field.<\/p>\n

This plugin also integrates well with our GeoDirectory Custom Post Types<\/a> plugin to allow you to add different filter<\/a> options per post type and also search per post type.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Installation<\/h3>\n

There are 3 options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No redirect:<\/strong> You guessed right, no redirection <\/i><\/li>\n
  2. Redirect to nearest location <\/strong>(on first time load users will be auto geolocated and redirected to nearest geolocation found):<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>With this option,\n
      \n
    1. the system will try to locate where the visitor is located<\/li>\n
    2. if there are listings within the set search radius, a page will be served with those listings and the location of the visitor
      \n\"\"<\/li>\n
    3. if there are no listings close to the visitor, then the system will look in your database to determine what\u00a0the closest location is to the visitor<\/li>\n
    4. and then serve the location page for that location.<\/li>\n
    5. Example:<\/strong><\/em>\n
        \n
      1. There are only 2 locations in your database: New York City and Los Angeles.<\/li>\n
      2. A visitor who is in San Francisco visits your website.<\/li>\n
      3. The system will redirect to yoursite.com\/location\/united-states\/california\/los-angeles<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      4. Redirect to default location <\/strong>(on first time load users will be redirected to default location:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>This setting will redirect your visitors on first entry to the location page of your default location<\/a>.
        \nUsing the example just above, if\u00a0New York City is your default location, any visitors landing on your site will be redirected to\u00a0yoursite.com\/location\/united-states\/new-york\/new-york-city.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
