Hi – what is the best way to allow users to filter properties by location? For example on this page (https://www.houselore.com/tdtax_property_transaction/historic-hotels/).

Hi,

The best way can be a dropdown without searching because users may not know your locations.

Thank you!

Okay, but users already fill in the property address on the Google Map when they list a property. Do I need to add separate fields to make them repeat the city and country in order for the location filter to work?

Hi,

There is not the entire location, only those -> https://i.imgur.com/uAuHogT.png. This is shown only on the front end: https://i.imgur.com/6EiPvxk.png.

Thank you!

Okay but my question is: how do I set things up so that users who list a property are entering address details in a way that is searchable for site visitors? As I said, visitors apparently can’t do a live search by city etc. So do I need to create new fields in the front end listing for the user to add city and country again after they enter the Google Map address?

Hello,

To have that functionality, custom modifications need to be made, and those can be done only with custom work because it is not so easy to add the city, address, and so on in the filter section.

Thank you!

Is it possible to include this in the next update? If people are using a directory theme, for real estate, job listings, etc. – it really is necessary for users to be able to filter by location. That’s a basic functionality of a directory site.

Hi,

This can be done with custom work only, if you really want this.

Thank you!
