(This section has been updated to reflect updates in SLP version 5.5.)

There are settings under the General tab for Admin , User Interface, (Server and Data tabs in  earlier versions,  now are  included under the APP tab).  This documentation has been updated to reflect the Google API changes for our WPSLP self managed plug-in customers.   The tab “App” Map is where you will enter your own Google API keys. MySLP customers do not need to worry about that. We do it for them.

Admin

The Admin tab is where your SLP Premier subscription Accounts ID ,  Log Schedule Messages, and other info is located.  There is also a Reset Manage Locations button available for use to reset the back end Manage Locations  display page to the default view (10 locations per  page view). This feature was previously only available with the free SLP  Janitor Add-on.

Location Sensor Aware

Posted by lcleveland in General, Power Add On, Professional, User Interface

Location Sensor Aware available with the SLP SaaS subscription Professional level (or higher ) service plan

Location Sensor capability is also a feature with the WPSLP Plug in Power  add-on.

Location sensor feature can be  turned on/off with a simple check box under the SLP/General  tab.

WPSLP Power add-on General tab

When the box is checked and a visitor to your site performs a search , SLP queries the browser and requests their current location.    If the browser allows location queries it will return their geographic location which will be used to set the default search location.

Note:  This will only work with most browsers if you have a secure site and/or if your site visitor “allows” their location to be visible to you.

Google  may return a “No results found” if you do NOT have an HTTPS site and will stop the javascript from loading. SLP with the Power add-on will negate Location sensor settings entirely if you do not have https://   enabling  your page to continue to load.   If you require the location sensor functionality to work properly you must have  a valid SSL certification.

Location Aware Browsing

Accuracy varies greatly from location to location. In some places, service providers may be able to provide a location to within a few meters.  All locations returned by service providers are estimates only and we do not guarantee the accuracy of the locations provided.  Your SLP settings also determine the number of locations shown nearest the site visitor.  Settings for radius, number of results to return and center of map  all interact to show locations nearest to the site visitor.
