Locations for Imported Listings

[sales1]

Hi,

I am currently testing with the Import extension. Importing listings seems to work fine except for the Location (geolocation).

I have a Location in my csv data e.g. “London, United Kingdom” which does get imported, but only as text - it is not appearing however on Google Maps as a pin and is therefore not searchable either.

I found this old post about this same issue:

Locations for imported listings

Hello, I was provided the below snippet in August as an update was required for the Geolocation extension since locations for imported listings weren’t appearing on Google Maps. See the below reply I received from Ihor. Am I able to now remove the snippet, or is the update still pending? From Ihor: The Import is already updated, but another update is required on the Geolocation extension’s side. Please use this temporary fix (you can remove it once the Geolocation extension is updated): add…

So, I tried using the snippet provided (I put this snippet in my child-themes functions.php file, which I assume was correct placement?)… However, it appears to have no effect.

Can you confirm if I am using the snippet correctly or what else I can try?

Thanks,

Hi andrii,

It looks like I was adding the PHP snippet the correct way - the problem was I did not know exactly what change to expect… Now I realize that the snippet simply adds Latitude and Longitude fields to the Import Listing form.

I misunderstood this before and thought the snippet would somehow automatically add missing lat/long data to existing listings that were missing this… Now I know this is not the intention of the snippet, I fully understand how this works and I can now successfully re-import listings with this data - which also works for me too since I am still in early development!

Thanks
