Hi there

We’re wanting to change the default max miles on the Advanced Search tool from 200 miles. I’ve seen the request before but didn’t see an answer.

The main reason is that we want much of our functionality to run on mobile device or primarily on proximity to a place, therefore we want to restrict it to, let’s say 10 miles!

With the current setting, to get the low distances is not that easy, especially on mobile.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Hi Ollie,

You can configure this option in GD > Advanced Search > Default Near Me miles limit as shown in this screenshot http://prntscr.com/efglg7

Thanks!

Hi Kor

Yes I’ve seen that and as you can see the default is set to 5 but we want to have the max set at say 15 miles as it’s primarily GeoLocation run on the go.

The reason being is that we want to run it primarily by geolocation and therefore people aren’t looking to look up to 200 miles away so there is at least 150 unnecessary miles on the slider that are not required it and reducing it would give more control in usability.

So is there any way of being able to reduce the max distance? Is there a hook that can be done which is unobtrusive or is it part of js?

Thanks for your patience

Hello,

There is currently no easy way to do that, we could add a filter or give you a JS snippet to do it on the fly on load?

Ok that would be great – assume I can load it from an external js script without problem?
