GPS Location Sensor

The November update to My Store Locator Plus® includes a patch for the location sensor feature, available to Professional and Enterprise level users.    The feature auto-detects a user’s location when they visit your web page where you have embedded your MySLP map.

This feature stopped working recently due to changes that came online when updates to the JavaScript frameworks we use to deploy the MySLP technology.   MySLP Users that have location sensor enabled under Store Locator Plus® | General | User Interface may have encountered issues with the map not rendering.   The November update will resolve that issue.

Store Locator Loading Indicator

The loading indicator, a graphical indicator that is shows up as a spinning circle when locations are loading, has been patched in the November update of My Store Locator Plus®.

Enterprise users that enabled this feature may have had had an issue where the map would not display when this feature was enabled.    The problem has been ongoing since its introduction earlier this summer but was not brought to our attention until recently.   The patch to address the issue is now online.

The Loading Indicator settings are under Store Locator Plus® | Settings | Results for Enterprise level users.

Scheduled Imports Included in Locator Updates

The July release of Store Locator Plus™ has been completed and includes a number of updates such as the scheduled imports patch for our Professional and Enterprise level users.   We’ve included a number of changes in the location processing engine as well that helps improve browser memory consumption as well as performance for sites with larger lists of locations.    These updates are already online for our MySLP users.

You’ll find similar patches and updates in our WordPress plugin version 4.9.17.

Scheduled imports patch

This patch addresses and issue where the import scheduling form was not being processed, preventing changes to the import file location, interval, or time at which the import runs.    New sites could not schedule imports and had to import location CSV files “by hand”.  The patch addresses the issue.

Schedule imports are provided at theProfessional and Enterprise levels and are part of the WordPress Power add on.
