The "Radius Distance Search" plugin for SOBI2 allows you to add proximity search
easily to your existing search form in SOBI2. The visitor on your page
just has to enter his zip code, select the maximum distance from it in
miles or kilometres (adjustable in SOBI2 back-end) and he will get all
matching SOBI2 entries, considering the standard SOBI2 search results.
Features:
- Easy to install, using the standard SOBI2 Plugin Interface
- Includes Open Geo Database from the GeoNames database
- Includes 12 months Update Service and Support
- Does not require any source code modifications
- Ajax Autocomplete function
- Three Search methods selectable:
- Search using geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude for each entry necessary - see Sobi2Wiki for an easy way to get the coordinates in SOBI2)
- Search using Postal Code - National (only postal code for each entry is necessary)
- Search using Postal Code - International (postal code and country code for each entry are necessary)
- Own database. No need to connect continuously to an external server.
- Administration of the plugin is in English language.
- The following front-end languages are available: English, French, German
