jQuery Google Maps Store Locator Wordpress plugin






This jQuery wordpress plugin takes advantage of store locator php version 3 to produce an simple to apply store locator. No back-finish programming is needed, you need to simply feed it KML, XML, or JSON data with the location information. The way you produce the computer file can be you. I initially produced this for a business that didn't have numerous locations, and so i used just a static XML file. I additionally made the decision to geocode all of the locations in advance, to make certain it had been fast and to prevent any potential geocoding errors. However, if you are acquainted with JavaScript you can easily create a modification to geocode everything on the fly (I might add this being an option sooner or later).

An email on the length calculation: this wordpress plugin presently utilizes a distance function which was initially designed by Chris Pietschmann. Google Maps API version 3 does incorporate a distance calculation service (Store Locators) however i made the decision not for doing things because of the present request limits, which appear somewhat low. In addition, since the wordpress plugin presently computes each location's distance 1 by 1, it made an appearance which i would need to re-structure several things to create all of the distance information at the same time (or risk making many request for one location research). So, the length calculation is "as the crow flies" rather of a road distance.

Handle bars has become needed: It's necessary for observe that the wordpress plugin now necessitates the Handle bars template engine. I chose to make this change to ensure that the information that's displayed in the place list and also the infowindows can be simply personalized. I additionally desired to separate the majority of design additions in the primary wordpress plugin file. Handle bars pretty clever, will read Mustache templates, and also the built-in assistants can definitely come in handy. Depending on what your computer data source is, 2 of some total templates is going to be used (KML versus XML or JSON) and you will find choices to set the pathways of each template should you not would like them in the default location. If you are developing something for mobile products the templates could be pre-put together for even faster loading.
