Our location map has a nice little search overlay. You can do a text search, or filter by categories. So far, so good.

We also would like to filter by an advanced search field, “service area”. We configured it to appear in the advanced search, but it does not appears in the search overlay thing on the map.

Is there a way to get an advanced search field to appear as a filter in the search overlay on the map?

Hi,

the map search is limited to search in the map by listing title or to filter by category. It’s not linked to the search form that can be extended with the advance search options.

Thanks

Can you point us to some php we could override to make this work though?

Hi,

unfortunately not. That would require a lot of custom code, it’s not something that it could be done easily with few lines of php.

Thanks

Well, we do custom code … but it would be very helpful if you could at least give a few pointers as to where to get started.

I mean like literally where the map filtering code is, since you are familiar with it. It would save us a little time, anyway.

I asked to developers to check what you requested and point you in the right direction…

Thanks for your patience,

As paolo said it could get complicate but here is where the search input is located

OK, I think I see how to do this (maybe), but what is the safe way to override

function geodir_draw_map($map_args = array())

That would be great if you could.

We want add a section to function geodir_draw_map, right after (or before) the category filter. This new section would use a custom field as the filter.

Background: this directory has “service areas”, meaning any given place is associated with one or more “service areas”. “service areas” is a multi select custom field.

We want to let the user filter the map by “service areas” as well as by category.

Hi,

I mean if you tell me where in the code you want me to add a hook i will, so in the next release it will be there. i can add a do_action() so you can hook in and add anything u want. If you can give me a line number i will add it.

Thanks,

Can we get a quote for having your company add the ability to filter the home page map by custom field?

Similar to the existing filter by category. The custom field is a multiselect.

I’m sorry, but we don’t provide customization services.

Thanks
