Location Finder Module
Overview
The Location Finder is a module designed for centers with multiple locations. It allows Admin to maintain and add their gym locations to the Location Listing, while providing a search function on the frontend for website visitors to find suitable gym locations.
On the Live Site, visitors can search for nearby locations by entering a postcode and specifying a search radius in kilometres (km). Locations that match the search criteria are displayed together with their basic information and distance from the searched postcode.
From the search results, visitors can view further information about a location on its dedicated Location Page or contact the location through a form.
1. Setting up Locations
Before the Location Finder can be used on Ark Site, Admin must first set up the locations that should be available in the system. Each location created will be stored in the Location Listing, where Admin can manage the location information and settings.
To create location, go to Location finder > Locations > Create
