Search widget functionality

[Paul]

Just wondering if there are any plans to create something like the Search Widget for Google Maps by Flippercode. This lets you put a simple geographical search field up front in the style of many popular websites, which then takes you to the map page at the inputed location.

Definitely a feature I’d like to see.

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Thank you for getting in touch with us, we do appreciate your time.

Yes that is indeed possible as we introduced this ability in the latest Atlas Novus build in V9.

You may do this by following the below steps:
1. Ensure that your build is set to the “Atlas Novus” build.
2. Create/Edit your page.
3. Search and add the “Store Locator” gutenberg block.
4. Set your linked map and enter the URL link to your map page redirect.
5. Save your page.

Once this has been done, you should be able to search for a location and the page should redirect to your map page with the search.

Please do let me know if this helps?

Kindest Regards,
Matthew

Yes, that does help. Didn’t know that widget was available.

Thanks! …Definitely liking this plugin much more than the competition. 🙂

Any guidance on calling a function to display the Store Locator block in a template?

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your response and time on this, I really appreciate it!

That is great news and I am happy that it helps and that you are enjoying the plugin.

With regards to implementing the store locator block in a template, you may do so using the do_shortcode() WordPress function:

do_shortcode("[wpgmza_store_locator id='1' url='{pageToRedirectTo}']");

Please do let me know if this helps?

Kindest Regards,
Matthew

Have a great day further!

Kindest Regards,
