Find – Listings Geo Coordinates – Directory Theme

Directory Theme: plugin

This Plugin is designed as an aid for those of you who upload CSV files which don’t have map Latitude or Longitude Coordinates:

Using this plugin means you don’t have to edit/visit each of your listings and set the map address. (which gets the coordinates)

Plugin works as follows:
Plugin counts all your listings and breaks those up in to groups of 100 (or less), you select where you want to start: 0 represents the newest (most recent) entries.

The address for each listings gets sent to Google’s Maps and Google returns the Latitude and Longitude, these coordinates are then updated to your listing.

Make sure your CSV file contains a correct packageID and most importantly contains the heading:

showgooglemap (with) yes or no for each of your listings.

What would normally take hours now takes 30seconds per 100 listings.

NOTE! Google do have restrictions on how many requests you can send in one day… the plugin will let you know if you have exceeded that amount. If you do exceed your limit, don’t panic, you can continue processing your listings after 24hours.

As said before, feel free to edit the file or suggest additional options or bugs.
