You can do that with the Experience Add-on
Tags and/or Categories
With the Power add-on or the SLP SaaS professional level plan or higher, there are options to tag a location or assign a category to a location or do both.
Tagging Locations
“Tagging” locations can be done one of two ways. The informal method is to use free-form tags that are setup via the Word Press Store Locator Plus Plug-in with the Power add on. Or the (My)SLP SaaS Professional level plan or higher The structured method is to use the Store Category Manager under the Categories tab (not available with the basic plug-in or Advance level plan)
Q: How can I make the location name clickable and redirect to the web-site?
You can change the results Layout with the Experience Add-on by using a combination of shortcodes and html. i.e. Example see Results Layout :
<a href=”[slp_location url]”[slp_location name]</a>
Use text
Force the data to be passed trough the HTML parser
Set map view
You can change the built-in Google map view to any that Google has to offer “hybrid, road map, satellite (aerial), terrain” The settings are under Store Locator Plus/ Settings/Map ,scroll down to the section under Appearance and use the drop down under Map Type to change and then save changes.
If you are on MYSLP you will see the StoreLocatorPlus panel in the left admin panel, select settings/map.
Google Map Style
The WPSLP Experience Add On and MySLP Professional support the Google Map Style rules. These rules let you control the “inner style” of the map itself. Pre-defined map rules allow you to set a variety of styles via the map settings on the SLP admin panel.
For MySLP go to Store Locator Plus > Settings > Map > Map Style
For WPSLP go to Store Locator Plus > Settings > Map > Map Style
The value of this entry is a Google Maps JSON style string. Some of our Plugin Styles in the Style Gallery will set this for you. You can also build your own with services like Map Style With Google.
Q. How do I unsubscribe from the forums?
Q. I seem to get a notification, every time someone leaves a comment on a topic. Can you undo that?
A. There are both forum-level and thread-level subscriptions, this video shows you how to stop email from either level, visit the SLP YouTube channel.
No Results Found label
The text that displays when there are no locations to be displayed can be changed under Settings/Results in the section under Appearance. Type a message in the box to whatever you want the site visitor to see when there are no results found.
Example of the text added under the SLP Settings/results and how it appears to the site visitor front end when no locations or results found:
Contact Fields when enabled
Additional Layout Shortcodes with Power Add-on
If you have the Power Add-on in addition to the Experience Add-on you have additional fields that can be displayed with the use of shortcodes and attributes.
Contact Fields
The Power Add-on has Contact Fields that can be associated with your locations for adding internal special ids for updates or to add filters. The contact fields will not automatically appear in your results on the front end.
Importing Large Lists into WP Store Locator Plus
Hints for the WordPress Store Locator Plus stand alone, self managed plugin with Power add-on. Import features available with the Power Add-on
Load Data
If checked , use the faster MySQL Load Data method of file processing. Only base plugin data can be loaded, see the approved field name list.
This feature uses the MySQL Load Data command and is much faster than WordPress / PHP CSV file parsing, with the typical Google Geocoding limitations on performance and record counts (if you are not supplying, filling in the latitude/longitude data fields). This feature will only import basic location data. It does not import extended data fields or category data. If you use this along with per-entered latitude and longitude values you can import 100,000 locations in less than 10 minutes on a basic web server. The column headers must be included in the file and must match the basic fields. You do NOT need to include all columns.
