Tried finding the answer to this question in the forum, but had a had time combing through the results. So I apologize in advance if it’s in there somewhere. Trying to geo-locate people for the search near box. I noticed your demo site does that. How does one turn that feature on?

Thanks!

To geo-locate your visitors, install and activate the GeoDir Share Location plugin available from your download area.
That however has nothing to do with the Search Near function.

Did this help?

However i can tell you that this feature is being worked on and is 50% complete so it won’t be too long before it is released.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thanks Guust and Stiofan! So what does the GeoDir Share Location plugin do at this point? I mean, I realize it geolocates the visitor… just wondering how that incorporates into the flow right now. Thanks!

For example, if I am in New York, and you only have a listing in Las Vegas and a listing in Los Angeles, then your site will take me the Las Vegas page because that is closest to my location.

Just what I was needing. And the default search is always radius search, unless otherwise specified, right?

I guess it might be a little easier to explain what I’m trying to accomplish. On this dev site, musclecars.wpengine.com, the client would like to have default listings show up with the featured items. Then in the dropdown he’s hoping to have an “order by distance” or proximity, really. How might I set that up?

Thank you so much for the help! This has been a killer to figure out and we’re almost there.

It just going to be a core update I’m looking for?

If I hit any of the directory category pages, it tries to geolocate me then redirects me to a non-existant page giving me a 404 error. Are there any settings for this plugin? I’ve looked and looked but can’t seem to find anything.

I just need it to only identify the current location of the user when they try and search near their current address. Is that possible? Thanks guys!
