The location finder uses information from the local business page for the information of the locations. Therefore, you have to first create a local business page for all desired locations.
Create the element
- After clicking +Content in the content area of your page, the element wizard will appear automatically. Click on the Widgets tab and then select the Location finder.
Define the map section
- To define a map section that will be displayed when the page is loaded for the first time you have to enter the coordinates in the Initial Map Bounds area within the Content tab.
Choose detail options
- In the area Details to show you can define the location information that will be displayed. Your options are: images, branch code, description, address, phone and type. Make sure that the corresponding data is stored in the local business pages.
Show selected pages
- If you don't want all local business pages displayed in your location finder, click the folder button in the area Pages.
- Then select the relevant page(s) by clicking on them individually. All local business pages listed in the page tree of the hierarchy level below will be captured immediately.
- To include only certain hierarchy levels in the page tree, select the number of levels under Recursive.
