Is there an ability to search by zip code for our member data base?

This idea was shared over 11 years ago but is still not available. We are a state society who want the public to be able to search our members to access services by our doctors. The search engine is antiquated and clunky. Most people want to search by distance from them or a specific demographic. The populated fields of 'is' 'contains' etc. is nothing that is used in current databases. Please do not wait any longer to enhance this feature. It desperately needs an upgrade.

Tim, we are working on the solution for 'Mapping location' thread https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932/suggestions/10515552.
This thread about zip code / radius search seems really close to that one.
As soon as we have any new updates, we will notify all supporters.

Any update on the Zip Code radius search functionality for member directory yet?

Where is there even an option to search for a zip code? I need that in my calendar of events.

This is crucial. Zip code look up is useless if the results don't match the searcg

When you currently search for a zip code, you get results of the entire 5 digit zip code. For example, 611 will get 26110, 61108, and 92611. When someone searches for a zip code, they only care about zip codes that match the FIRST three digits.

I currently use Batch Geo to plot members on google maps. I export my members into a spreadsheet, then upload the spreadsheet into Batch Geo. It would be great to incorporate this type of feature in Wild Apricot.

This looks like it's already in the works. :)

My client is also requesting zip code proximity as part of the public member search as an integrated feature in future versions of WA.

We had some of their members evaluate WA and also polled their membership--whose dues pay for the organization's infrastructure--on the most important features of their membership-based website.

Order of importance of these features in their compiled ranking:

1) easy member URL (as several of them use this as their practices' web page)
2) SEO indexed member pages and directory
3) Zip code proximity search (and map) integrated into public member search
4) Public member search gadget on homepage

Member fees are what keeps this organization going, so being able to provide these features are pretty important to drive membership.

Many thanks, sorry for the deluge in tying these issues together on the various feature request pages.

If you take a look at my solution it went from being quoted $700.00 to in just few hours and zero costs up and running. I even like the design better than what the other ones for 700.00 offered. It does have a banner and it only shows last name it does have a couple field I could add and probable add the first name too. But again free is good! There is some changing of the exported data fields and it is limited but free is good and I think it does its purposes. Take a look at it here http://www.ippsoa.com

Hello,

In reply to "Zip Code or Address Radius Search", I am getting regular requests from members as well as people from the general public, to have this as an option in our Find a Practitioner and Find an Instructor. To be able to enter a post code and have the option to search within 5, 10 or 25 kim radius of this postcode.

Sorry about that! Can you email me directly at db@wildapricot.com and give me a link to your page and couple of examples of members not plotted?

I have checked it out, tried it, but it is not working correctly - some members are plotted and others are not. Can someone please take a look and see where it is going wrong? I've made 3 or 4 pleas for help on both that forum post and via email to support. No one is responding. :-(

Rather than achieve this through the database, you could achieve the same result using the Google maps implementation described earlier - just centre the map on the user's location and scale it cover the required radius.

Other users data would be on the map but off the scale.

Something like http://www.ev-network.org.uk/Default.aspx?pageId=524100&mdd=40302

This is exactly what I'd like. May we use your code?

About member map - this is already possible. See

The above page is 404 Not Found. My client would like something like this as a replacement for the default Browse. I know a google map can be embedded via an iframe, but can member locations be automatically plotted? If so, how?

Hi Robert, can you elaborate how you envision this? I am not clear how this applies to zip/address radius search.

I agree, the general public does not like this search set up. I get people contacting me how to do it and the simple search is too wide open. Can we get a search that just ask to input from a choice of 2-3 drop down list?

HI, Tim.

Your searchable map is amazing. Would you be willing to share how you created it?
