When I type a value into the “near” field in “GD > Search” I think it would be great to have that value in the search results after the km/miles value…. so instead of it saying “Listing Title” and then for example “2.2 miles” or “2.2 km”… it would say “2.2 miles from Dublin” or whatever was typed into the near field.

What would be involved in doing this?

Thanks as always!

Adrian

open listing-listview.php in /wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory_templates

find this block



<?php
					
					 if (round((int)$distance,2) == 0){
												$uom = get_option('geodir_search_dist_2');
												$distance = geodir_calculateDistanceFromLatLong ($startPoint,$endPoint,$uom);
												echo round($distance).' '.$uom.'<br />';
											}else{
												echo round($distance,2).' '.$uom.'<br />';
										}
					?>


it’s between row 77 and 86


replace this block with 




<?php
					
					 if (round((int)$distance,2) == 0){
												$uom = get_option('geodir_search_dist_2');
												$distance = geodir_calculateDistanceFromLatLong ($startPoint,$endPoint,$uom);
												echo round($distance).' '.$uom.' from '.$_REQUEST['snear'].' <br />';
												
											}else{
												echo round($distance,2).' '.$uom.' from <br />';
										}
					?>


You will have the result, as per seen on the screenshot (tested on my demo site)


Sidenote: the modification needs to be redone if a GD update will be released.

						Great fast reply Simone…. it works… but only listings in the EXACT area where you are searching and not even ones beside it


for example look at this URL with it implemented:


http://childcarefinder.ie/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=Artane&sgeo_lat=53.3830008&sgeo_lon=-6.205133100000012


and


http://childcarefinder.ie/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=Dublin+4&sgeo_lat=53.3260898&sgeo_lon=-6.243784399999981


and


http://childcarefinder.ie/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=Seabury+Park&sgeo_lat=53.4545275&sgeo_lon=-6.185807299999965

						try this




		<?php

						Works! Thanks


Note to anyone else using this…. I had to change the quotation marks in Simones reply as they were getting formatted wrong as it’s not in a CODE section above


I think this would be a nice change in the next release.

						You copied fast, a second later it was in a code section 🙂


Glad it worked.

						BTW, if you move that template in your active theme inside a folder named geodirectory, you will not lose your changes after next update.


Thx

						Paolo, this is interesting as I am worried about a couple of changes I’ve made getting over written…. can you explain exactly what you mean?


Thanks,

						Files in 


plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-templates/


can be copied in


themes/your-active-theme/geodirectory/ (folder to be created)


And the plugin will start using your copy of the file.


Thx
