Geolocation?

Thank you, Kevin.

I see some sites asking if you will allow or deny geo-tracking. When the user allows it, relevant listings and date loads on the map, content section and even the sidebar.

Is this how the location filtering option on GD works?

Thank you for responding, Kevin. I think GD developers will release geo-location soon but not sure how will it work.

Hi Julian

It needs to go in your header.php file but you can do this with the geodirectory settings page. Under design you have a tab for scripts. Just add the script to the header script code box.

Hi Kevin,

This is something similar to what I like to have:

http://www.restaurantplease.com

The map and location is automatically displayed. The user simply needs to enter the keyword and/or the category to filter the listings on the map. It will be nice the listings on the main content and sidebar widgets will automatically display listing based on the user’s location.

Yes, I will probably do that. I am just waiting for the geolocation feature to be released.

Hi Julian,

My mistake I forget to say you need to set an id.

in the listing form filter file where you put the new input you will see immediately before another input with a class of snear you also need to add an id of snear – so it looks like

<input name="snear" class="snear" id="snear" type="text" value="<?php echo $near;?>" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php echo NEAR_TEXT;?>';}"  onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php echo NEAR_TEXT;?>') {this.value = '';}"   />

It needs the id for the jquery to pass the value to the form field.

Sorry

Kevin

At the moment directions do not work on Geodirectory

if you try and get directions to a location the directions go to your default location and not the actual attraction location.

As such until the fix is done it is pretty pointless giving you instructions on how to do it in case the developers change the inputs and id etc.
