can geolocation search be used in BePro? I would like my users to be able to enter a zip code and km/mi radius to search within. thanks

Hi,

Yes, our location search feature accepts anything you would type into maps.google.com (including zipcode). Via the BePro Listings admin, there is a default search distance option which is in miles. The user can change the distance option on the frontend, if you use one of our search filter shortcodes. We do not currently support km. Here is an example

– https://www.bycater.ca

Consult our shortcode documentation or use the “Shortcode builder button” to start using our search related shortcodes.

Hi,

Currently I am unable to conduct a search by location (for example entering “London” yields no results, which is untrue)- please can you advise what I am doing wrong.

This is an example of how I have setup the CSV data (I transposed the columns for ease of reading):

item_name UKHCA
content
categories 37,8,7,9,17,18,16,29,30,36,27,21
first_name
last_name
cost
email [email protected]
website http://www.ukhca.co.uk
address_line1
city Wallington
state
country England
postcode SM6 7AH
phone 01234 567890
lat 50.153736
lon -5.095393

Many thanks,

Hi,

Geo search is based on the distance from the center of the searched location. Check the BePro Listings admin under the search/listings tab. What is the default search distance setting?

If your default search distance is 150 miles and your search location is london, BePro Listings will search within 150 miles of the center of london. The example you provided uses “Wallington” as the city. Is London within your default search distance of Wallington?
