Thank goodness Croco decided to dust this off from the repo request. This was requested 2 years ago. Thanks Paul for showing the strength of this awesome feature.
Paul, there are soooo many technology tutorials and videos that are just regugitations of the Help pages for the product. You examples are always relatable to, easy to implement and the video production is superb. WPTuts is my top go to for any thing I need to learn or refresh on for WordPress, Elementor and Crocoblocks. Please keep up the excellant work.
Paul as always nice tutorial and thanks. It would a great addon if users were able to select the distance in order to search business's they want displayed to them. A drop down list with options to change distances from 25km-100km maybe. Otherwise this is a great feature which is appreciated. This options could be stored in cookies
Awesome I learned A Lot From You Specially the Way You Explaining No One TH-camr Do The Same I I Watched All Your Videos And You Are The Best Thank u Greetings From United Arab Emirates - Dubai
Dear Sir, What an awesome feature by Crocoblock, God knows when Elementor will come up with such features. Whenever I see CB tutorials, i feel like Elementor is far behind CB. After a long time you have come up with tutorials on CB, specially Jet Engine, the most popular plugin of CB. There are many addons to Elementor, but not like Crocoblock, specially designed to replace Elementor Pro. Hope to see more tutorials from you Till then, be safe, healthy and happy. With warm regards, Yours student, Vivek Kumar ( Dehri On Sone, Rohtas, Bihar, India)
Despite Crocoblock is "Under Attack" in Ukraine, they did listen to our requests and they managed to deliver one of the most anticipated features in Jet Engine. Yet, another awsome tutorial. Thanks again. But, I think it is missing the user selection of the radius. I haven't tested this feature yet but it would be great if the user could set the desired radius.
The documentation isn't really up there yet, so I couldn't easily find a way to achieve this. Possibly you can set a variable value in the distance field, but it's not obvious if that's possible. I'll wait to see what is covered once the official video covering the new features comes out and revisit this if I find some clarity on the topic. :)
We've been waiting for this for a long long long long long time and it is a solution for so many third party plugins out there. Now we can finally make our own comprehensive Directory Listing.
Hey, most videos explain how to assign a city to your post, but how do I automatically assign the country? (for example, Berlin is always in Germany). I hope you can help me.
I have a acf post with projects in it and I am using jet smart filters to do a hierarchal filter which filters the posts in my page. I want to create another page with a map and filter. Can the general query be from my acf posts and can I query in 'posts query' from my acf post 'Projekt'? Basically apart from settings I do not want to craete any posts or provide data in the jet engine. thanks
So I did this and it worked, but then I had to change some things so that the pinpoint would be determined by the user entered address instead of an admin selecting the location it on the map. Now, the map markers appear, but disappear after a second of the page loading,. Any idea what might be going on?
Hi Paul, thank you very much ! one question, how you set the default point in map when you create a new post ? To not search all the time for a specific city
Looks like you were up all night on this one! Thanks for the hard work and dedication. Can you create a new video on how this operates on the front end? Can you use a filter to change the GEO Search Radius? Thanks very much sir!
I think the feature is a little limited right now or I'm missing something (perfectly possible). Hopefully, there will be some updated documentation and information on how to get more out of it and allow more user interaction through filter, etc. I'll create a separate video covering that when I find out more. :)
Hello Paul, What if someone visits a UK site from the US, and the query is set to 50Mi? Is there an option to allow or not to the location to be detected? Otherwise, will you not see anything?
Is there a way that we can get radius dynamically from meta field? so every user can assign his preferred radius on his profile and that reflects on the search automatically?
Interesting. You could actually get close to that before they added geolocation, just using the address details. What would be interesting is if you could reverse it. Let's say your businesses are mobile mechanics and they have a distance they are willing to travel. You would hide them on the map based on the user's geolocation. That would be useful!
I would love if jetengine could work better with 3rd parti REST API, that would be really awesome. It could connect to endpoint but usually json data fetched is not readable by jetengine. That would be a tremendous
Hi Paul and congrats, as always. A slightly off-topic comment but also about maps. In your opinion, could site users be able to draw a kind of "intervention area" on Google Maps and include it in their profile, but without it being a radius of action, rather the choice of certain streets in a neighborhood?
Great video! What if not found in the location? Can you give a notification here is nothing found? And can we let visitors choose for example with a zip code to type in the search function? So the can choose any area they want.
I'm hoping this is something that is already included (although, it isn't immediately obvious) and will be covered in the updated documentation and official Crocoblock video. If I can get some additional information I'll come back and do a quick follow up video covering it. :)
@@WPTuts I tried it and it works but you need external tools and it is a bit technical for the average website builder but I am waiting for your explanation I look forward to seeing another beautiful video from you 👍. Maybe I will post a video too but I am waiting for you if you know a more convenient way.
Hey Paul! Was there a reason you used a glossary instead of a taxonomy for the business type? I’m about to setup a similar map listing and hoping to use an existing taxonomy. Thanks for all the content you put out! Your videos are super helpful.
This would have been more useful if the user could add their own address (rather than geolocate, i personally never allow websites access to my location) and also let them specify the distance so they can see results for how far they are willing to travel. Its a good first step i guess...
I agree and this may be possible but not immediately obvious. Hopefully, we'll have some additional information when the official Crocoblock video comes out and the documentation expanded. :)
I initially thought that was the update, users searching and then getting results based on their search. I hope this is possible. Because the use cases would be awesome, such as a store locator.
Hi Paul and a huge thank you for your tuts! They're perfect and you're great. Can I ask you something about map listings? I'm trying to customize markers in map listings. No problem with settings and SVGs. My CPTs are related via a meta field in their M2M relation which is not recognized in this situation. Just an example: spoken languages in different countries A language can be set as official in one country, or administrative in another country. In a situation like this one, I cannot set this language feature as a taxonomy term in language CPT, because it depends on the country that language is related to. Am I missing something? Maybe a special macro which I don't know anything about?
Hi Paul Thank you for this amazing video i was wondering can it be done with CCT reather than CPT is there a way to accomplish that if i can use the SQL in the query builder with the data tables it would be great if it can be done ... thanks
Hi Paul - it seems a crucial thing is for the user to have a default “home” starting point, either from browser or from meta, but also the ability to filter the map, using cities, towns suburbs etc. Perhaps via a CCT with all the geolocations user could reference? Then the search for coffee shops mechanics whatever which is already easily done with Jetengine. So three options for that important starter map - 1) the geolocate of the browser - done, 2) the meta of the USER address (switch?) and 3) Heirachical selects of country city suburb .. sort of thing? Feels to me all of this is already possible, but my knowledge is to scant. Tut?? it not possible to use a dynamic range filter on the page to increase / decrease the results one finds? Also if the USER sets up his home suburb, which is geolocated in a CCT, then can we use that as the start place of the map on the page? All sounds (vaguely) doable already?? Please do more on this?
Hi Jennifer, from my own testing and watching the official Crocoblock video yesterday, there doesn’t seem to be any provision to dynamically control the parameters right now. I’m hopeful that this will change over the coming months as new versions are released.
Is it worth upgrading from Elementor Pro 3.2.1 to Elementor Pro 3.7? Are there any drastic differences between the two? Or will I be fine with 3.2.1 for most of my needs? (I don't care about security patches)
This is cool. It's what I've relied on Toolset to do for ages - I have a website that lists 1000 quiz nights in Australia and used purely Toolset Views/Types/Maps (although it actually works very well!). Would be interested to see how this would translate
David - Would you share a link to the Toolset solution you mention above? I have done a couple of searches but haven't found any info on GEO location. Thanks!
Hi Paul. Great video. Is it possible for the user to zoom out from the 50 miles and see the other businesses? Maybe the user want to check out an area they will be in next week.
Not that I've seen in the current version. Hopefully, we'll be able to set the radius dynamically. I'm sure there is either a way or there will be. Crocoblock tend to release features in a very basic format first and then gauge the user feedback and tweak accordingly. I'm sure all these features will be added to make it a much more usable function sooner rather than later.
is good, but when use only one field...when we have many fields, is not possible to concatenate, like [address][number][neighborhood][city][state], at field Address Meta Field on element Map Listing, sure?
I can't see any options for that in the settings. Hopefully, they'll add this option to add an address and the map will generate the Long/Lat coordinates automatically.
Typically, Crocoblock’s first versions are more proof of concept and grow in features relatively quickly. I’m hopeful that that will be the case here. 🤞
Great to see some Crocoblock related content again after some time. Thanks Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it

Very interesting feature and explained by the best sensei of Jetengine Mr. Paul C.
Any idea on how can I stop this automatic location access to open on button click option?
Thanks!

How do I create a H1 heading with 3-4 dynamic words in one widget? I use ACF and elementor with jetengine
I have a acf post with projects in it and I am using jet smart filters to do a hierarchal filter which filters the posts in my page. I want to create another page with a map and filter. Can the general query be from my acf posts and can I query in 'posts query' from my acf post 'Projekt'? Basically apart from settings I do not want to craete any posts or provide data in the jet engine. thanks
Does this only work where you have selected the Post Query point with a marker in the query builder. So not from any location of a visitor?
So I did this and it worked, but then I had to change some things so that the pinpoint would be determined by the user entered address instead of an admin selecting the location it on the map. Now, the map markers appear, but disappear after a second of the page loading,. Any idea what might be going on?
For admin Geocoding... How can you input the address and have the map update vs just trying to drop a pin?
Hi Paul, thank you very much ! one question, how you set the default point in map when you create a new post ? To not search all the time for a specific city
Paul is there a way that one build a check-in feature with a croco site?

Have you got any experience with setting API restrictions? It seems that if you set a domain API restriction with google that crocoblock doesn't work?

Is it possible to change the distance for which businesses are shown with a variable or, "on the fly?"
Is it possible to calculate the distance between 2 points, it is for a courier website

Please tell me it works on Gutenberg😃
Yup, all the same functions are there for Gutenturd as well as Elementor.
Can we search for the location that we need instead of zooming in and pin it?

pefrect timing :P
"Most" requested?
Powerfully confusing or Confusingly powerful! Never straight-forward with the Crocoblock options.
It does have a few steps involved and took me a bit of time to get my head around. :)
That still pretty basic.......
