Steven ZahmRE: I have about a dozen categories, none are children, all on the same “level.” I want to be able to search in one category, a specified radius, and potentially keywords.
The multiple category search is designed specifically for multiple categories filtering would require a tree structure so the config option work. I support you could create a single parent and set all your current categories as children and configure the category option as described in the instructions.
As an alternative, but not ever tested, you could try leaving the category structure as is but in the category config use the ID 0. In theory, it might pull in all top level/parent categories.
RE: I also would like to be able to search in several chosen categories (an OR function on them, not AND) and potentially a radius and keyword. Are both of these possible?
Sorry, no, multiple category search is an AND operation.
RE: Possible future feature: It appears when I put in my Google Maps code for the radius, that now the map that shows on the connection defaults to google as well. Would love that to stay on the non-google api, the default be fore adding the api key
I’ll keep that in mind as I expand the capabilities of my mapping API. The primary purpose was to ensure breaking no installs where a Google Map API was setup while making sure that those did not have at least some basic map support out of the box.
