kick-off search on page load or before?

    Hi Tijmen,

    Sorry if a question like this was already tackled here. I’d be glad to just get a link to that discussion in this case.

    We have a db of ~1000 addresses across germany/austria/switzerland and we currently set-up a series of very similar websites (subdomains of a base site), each with a regional focus contentwise.

    Anyway, what i would like to do is to kick-off a store search on page load. The user should see a list of stores in a radius of e.g. 50km around a given location. Ideally, the location should be set programmatically and it is identical to the WPSL ‘start point’. So, I neither want to load *all* stores on page load, nor do i want a user interaction before i display the set of stores in a given radius around a start point. Initially, i’d rather need a subset of *all* stores, filtered by radius X around the given ‘start point’ or ‘location’.

    Does WPSL provide anything for this scenario already?

    Thanks & cheers,
    Dirk

    There is no setting that enables this. But if you are you comfortable writing php code then it’s not that difficult to make the changes.

    If you open the /frontend/wpsl-ajax-functions.php then from line 24 and below you see the code that is responsible from building the sql query.

    If you modify the first part in the isset( $_GET[‘autoload’] ) then you can hardcode a fixed radius and start lat/lng ( this is available through $options[‘zoom_latlng’] ).

    Thanks for pointing me to that, Tijmen. I just added a shortcode parameter, made small code mods and voila: some [wpsl location="Berlin, Deutschland"] in my page/post spits out a list of stores right after page load. I’m happy :o)

    Great plugin, Tijmen!
