Postal Codes

[Mike-N-Tosh +]

Description

The Postal Codes Module allows your end users to search listings within a radius of their inputed postal code. In the search page of your site, this module adds a "Postal Code" field which your end user can input the postal code of their choice as well as choose from a pulldown menu the distance that they would like to find listings for.

This module adds an extra Postal Code Field in all of your listings. This is done automatically, you do not need to create this field. Your sellers enter the postal code for their listing during the checkout or whenever they modify the listing. As an Admin, you will also be able to edit this field when you are in the Manage Listings section and choose a listing to edit.

There are no additional administration functions for this module, except access to the readme file when you click on the "?" in the modules section.

The Postal Codes module has been made for international use, therefore is based on Kilometers. Each Postal Codes data version is specific to a country or area (eg: UK). I am currently offering this module with these specific data versions:
Australia
Canada
Germany
France
UK

If you would like a different data version that is not currently being offered, please contact me as I have just about every country in the modern world. I just haven't taken the time to extract each and every individual country. Chances are, I can have a data version set for your requested country within a day.

Greetings,

I have updated the Postal Codes (UK) module. This is the only affected version of this module. If you have purchased and downloaded this module prior to June 1, 2009, please contact me directly with your name and email address and I will email you the updated version of this module.

This update was done specifically for clarity of this version of the Postal Codes (UK) Module. There is no bug or lack of functionality of the module. The Royal Mail system which is used in the UK uses two sets of postal codes, Outer and Inner. The Outer code is the only postal code that is supported in the Postal Codes (UK) Module. The reason for this is that the Inner code essentially reduces the deliverable mail address to a very small defined area and number of deliverable addresses (12 or less deliverable mail addresses, typically within 50 feet of one another or within the same building according to the Royal Mail System), therefore adds no functionality to the purpose of the module.

Changelog:
readme.html
hooks.php

The readme file was updated to reflect and document the Modules support of the Outer code only.

The hooks.php file was changed to add additional text to the search page to inform the site visitor to only input the Outer Code in the Postal Code field.

===============
As an FYI: I have added an Italy (IT) and Netherlands (NL) versions for purchase.

The Postal Codes isn't offered for a continent (eg Europe), it is offered by country. In addition as stated only the UK version needed to have the update that I posted.
