NOTE:
Feature not yet implemented.
Adding this option to the shortcode you can limit the list to any entries near the address supplied using this option. This does not need to be a full address, it can be a partial address such as state, zip code or city.
QuickTip: You can use the radius and unit option to set the distance that should be searched.
Examples
Display entries near Lancaster, OH.
[connections near_addr='Lacaster, OH'] |
Display entries near Las Vegas in postal code 89031.
[connections near_addr='89031'] |
NOTES:
This feature was added in version 0.7.3
Hi
Does this function support UK postcodes?
Thanks
@flattop
It’ll support any zip supported by Google for geocoding. The thing is, as the note states, this feature is not yet implemented.
OK thanks
Any idea when it might be?
@flattop
I guess more accurately is is built-in now, but I don’t not recommend using it at the moment because the geocoding results are not cached and Google limits the API call to 2500 time in a 24hr period so on even a moderately trafficked site you could exceed that and it would become non-functional. Do I know exactly when, sorry I do not at this time.
