Warning

This article describes how to use this plugin to filter the Sobipro search results to a given radius on a Geocode Factory map. This is not a radius search field integrated into the Sobipro search form. For that purpose we have a comprenhensive Radius Search application for Sobipro search form, which is a total, Sobipro search solution. These plugins are compatible with each other, but do different things.

What you need?

• Geocode Factory component at least 2.7.3
• Geocode Factory module (free)
• Geocode Factory Sobipro map search plugin
• Sobipro component at leat 1.05 (sigsiu.net)
• Read the Sobipro search plugin for Geocode Factory

Configuration

To make this plugin function configure the Sobipro search plugin for Geocode Factory as per the linked article. Then add the radius form option on the map template if it is not already there:

[radius_form]
<br />
[map]

You can also add the results list if desired, but it is not required as the vCard results are already on the Sobipro search page :

 <fieldset><legend>SP markers</legend>[sidebar]
</fieldset>

Example

Finding entries within a specified radius within a SOBI search is currently a 2-part process.

• First you search SOBI Pro using the built in SOBI search form to filter for the criteria you are interested in like business day, or by some other SOBI field.
• Second you specify the radius distance you want to search to within those results and apply it to the results of the first search.

Note : initially the map shows all markers, but the module can be hidden at this view by using the task to hide feature of the module (Please refer to the Geocode Factory documentation for more details).

If you have properly configured the module and plugin you should see this:

As an example we will search for 'Neo' in the SOBI Pro search form. In this sample directory we find 2 results :

And now come the radius filter, we want to search only the entries in a 250km radius of 'Lyon, France', in the address box, simply type 'Lyon...' and select the 'Lyon, France' :

Then select a 250km radius :

Click "Search" and you will get the above result of one marker that meets both the SOBI criteria AND the radius distance limit!

This can be reproduced on: our this test site fo the Sobipro radius search.
