Starting 2023 with a renewed push on Store Locator Plus® updates, starting with patching some minor warnings and bugs reported by users. One of the updates is a preemptive patch for Cluster Map Markers. Multiple updates are anticipated over the coming weeks. If you have a feature request or bug to report please let us know via the Contact Form. This week there are two minor updates coming your way.
The October 2022 update of Store Locator Plus® is now out for both the SaaS platform and the self-managed installations for WordPress plugins. The current release continues down the path of updating the user controls dashboard with newer React-based components. While the user experience (UX) updates are relatively minor with this October update, the underlying technology has set the foundation to begin replacing major interface elements with a modern interface.
The new Material UI on React design will allow Store Locator Plus® to catch up to modern design standards and pave the way for not only a better interface on the dashboard but lead to more advanced designs on the published location maps and eventually produce advanced directory style listings from your locations.
Some of the changes you’ll notice in this release include a new title bar, simplified menu system, and context-sensitive documentation links on each primary Store Locator Plus® dashboard page.
Address autocomplete is a feature available on the Store Locator Plus® Professional and Enterprise plans. This feature connects the location address search to your list of locations to suggest a list of matching zip or postal codes. This feature helps guide your site visitors toward selecting a zip or postal code where you have an existing location.
