Search for Listings and Vendors with a LIST of REGION

General Geolocation
1

Hi,

Please find below a Great Suggestion … a lot of HivePress users will love it …

It will be great to search for Listings and Vendors with a LIST of REGION in the SEARCH BARS (Like the search with the List of Category) …

Therefore, 4 new options will be available in the front-end

  1. the user can change the CATEGORY of LISTINGS without selecting again the Region
  2. the user can change the CATEGORY of VENDORS without selecting again the Region
  3. the user can change the REGION of LISTINGS without selecting again the CATEGORY
  4. the user can change the REGION of VENDORS without selecting again the CATEGORY

Two Jobs for updating the Geolocation Extension

  1. Update the Region field with the List of Region in the Search Bar of Listings
  2. Update the Region field with the List of Region in the Search Bar of Vendors

Most probably, a lot of HivePress users (both admin & front-end) will love this new option of Search by Geolocation … and you could offer 2 ‘Geolocation’ Extensions instead of one for instance, one free version and a second Paid Version with this new Feature … we need 6 extensions (6 sites) …

Thank you …

Great option to search for countries (more than 200 countries …) and other types of Region …

Moreover, a large number of B2B, even B2C Websites offer a Search with a List of Countries and Region instead of Geolocation like Google/Mapbox/Yandex …
and such services don’t work in China for instance … blocked by the ‘Great Firewall’ …

One example …

An online Market Place which offers Bottles of Wines from all over the World …

The Chinese clients won’t be able to search for Wines by Countries from the Search Bar … Google Map, OpenStreetMap are blocked by the ‘Great Firewall’ … therefore, loss of clients …

4

To satisfy the Chinese Clients with a Wines & Liquors Market Place for instance, 3 services are mandatory

  1. Search with a List of Countries … and not Google/Yandez
  2. Payment Gateways, like Stripe (Alipay) or Silkpay (wechat, Alipay) for instance … and not Visa/Mastercard
  3. International Shipping Services … and not the local Post Office …

Happy hours … with Wines & Liquors !!!

Hi @Chris041973,

Currently this isn’t available using the Geolocation extension. However, as a temporary workaround you could create an attribute with each of the locations as separate options and have this displayed as part of the search bar. However, I believe the feature you describe is currently planned to be added in a future update.

And, secondly, the majority of what you describe is handled through WooCommerce. You may also find various WooCommerce extentions useful, too.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Chris :victory_hand:
