Very excellent tutorial, it worked like a champ. I do have one question about it though.

In the view under the map, my fields have more text in them than yours, therefore my text wraps many times and its kind of hard to view. It looks like there is 3 columns and its bound to the width of the first column.

Is there a way to display my text the full width of the 3 columns?

Thanks,
Jake

Thanks for the tutorial, it helps a lot

I would like to add more interactivity to the map, which is to allow user to add their store(point) visually on the map (the point will then stored in the database)- user should field all the neccessary details first (similiar to what we fill in the admin panel in ‘add location’).

Apart from that, user can search according to categories/attributes (can choose more than 1). Example is user want to search for ‘restaurant’ and ‘furniture’ at the same time, so that the result will only show the store/business with the desired attributes.

How could i do that?

Please advice which file should i modify and tips on the coding part.

Best regards,
Faliq

I’ve just started my search for a WP compatible store locator plugin and found your tutorial about adding custom fields. Thanks for a great detailed post!

What I am wondering about this plugin is the ability to add custom fields to search on. I’ll jump over to the plugin forum and have a look.

I’ve been searching for this kind of tut for quite some time. Thank you. One request, could you add a pdf of this tutorial. Due to vision issues I need to print stuff like this and with the “print this” feature the end result is so small I can’t hardly see it let alone read it. Thanks again for the great tutorial.

Any thoughts on where we could implement adsense map units into this plugin per these instructions:

This was helpful. I’m looking to set this up, but use WP_Posts database with custom fields instead of a new table.

This works better for my implementation because I want an SEO-friendly individual page for each location and also access to functions only available on posts/pages.

I’m thinking I could change similar pages in SL to look to and add to the Posts table in a specific category instead of this separate table. Does this sound possible and/or is their a better solution?
