    Hi there,

    when the near me button is clicked, it refreshes the whole site and returns the user to the top of the page, away from where my map is on my homepage. This is obviously not user friendly, is this meant to happen? If it is, is there anything I can do to change it? thanks

    The “Near Me” button loads a new location page: /location/me/
    It is just like any other link that takes you to another page, there is nothing different with other links.

    Thanks

    Hi Guust,

    I know that and this I think is the limitation. If the “Near Me” button isn’t where your map is users are not taken to where the map is which isn’t user friendly.

    The near me button takes you to a /location/ page. If you want a map on that page, add a Gmap Home widget to a GD Home section.

    Hi again,

    I have but as I was saying before it takes you to the top of the page when it refreshes and that’s not the position of where the Gmap is so what ends up happening is users click it and are just left being confused with where it has taken them and/or they don’t know what has happened after clicking it.

    Maybe change the layout of the page then? That’s all I can suggest, sorry.

    Is this something which can be changed with customisation? This along with some other tweaks that i’ve posted in the job forum are important to me, however it’s been nearly 2 weeks and nobody has responded to my job. thanks

    Hi,

    given that we don’t provide customization services, we cannot guarantee that someone will reply in our jobs forum, that’s why we also suggest to submit your job requests also on websites like upwork.com and codeable.io.

    Thanks
