GeoLocation can be set by default, new visitors will be asked wheather they want to share their location with the application and take advantage of the Geolocation features.
Else GeoLocation can be triggered by user while browsing locations or searching.
User who share their position will be automatically redirected to the closest city and will be able to perform proximity searches.
Geolocation features can be fully experienced using the mobile apps.
Hi
Is there a mobile child theme for GeoTheme? Judging from the demo, the main theme does not appear to be optimized for mobile devices.
Thanks
Hi Paul,
iOs App is on it’s way and the Android App will follow. (within days)
We decided to work with apps rather than responsiveness of the site. In the future we may decide to create a responsive child theme.
But first Apps will come.
Thanks,
Paolo
Thanks Paolo, looking forward to that – your theme is exactly what we need for an upcoming project.
Hi..
Any update for ios app?
Regards,
Mostafa Amiri
End of June for public release.
Thanks,
Paolo
So how will the iOS app work?
If a user clicks through to one of my pages from Google, using an iPhone, will the theme sniff that they are on a mobile device and present the same page, but optimized for mobile?
HI, it’s impossibile to do that.
What can be done is what other major sites do, like facebok.
When they detect that site is browsed by a certain device, they present you with a message that is possibile to download the app for better site usage.
But this isn’t built in with GeoTheme, as we can’t know if you have the app or not, so it’s something that can be implemented as an addon.
Thanks,
Paolo
I see, so it’s not a web app, but an actual downloadable application that we would need to get into the app store? Hmmm… is your theme optimized for mobile browsers? If not, do you have plans to do this?
If not, do you know any plugins that would play well with all the custom post types and display properly?
Having a seamless mobile experience is important for a directory site and pushing them to download an app would be missing out on opportunities.
We will develop a responsive child theme after the release of both apps.
For that we can’t give a timeline.
Thanks,
Paolo
The responsive child theme will be extremely valuable to me, more so than the app for most of my directories.
I’m curious about this as well. Strongly considering this theme.
Hi Paolo,
I’m going to buy the theme next week. Just wondering if you have any progress news on mobile child theme and if there are any Apps on ios that I can download and see it in action.
Thanks
Tommy
Hi,
theme is already responsive and ap can be seen here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geotheme/id555383974?mt=8
Thanks
I’m considering purchasing this theme, however, I saw mobile apps are coming, is this included or separate?
Hi,
apps are sold separetely. Please check pricing page: http://www.geotheme.com/pricing/
Thanks,
Paolo
I went into the pricing page but, it only shows the price of geotheme + 2 child themes w/c is $85/year.
Hi,
That is the only option available at the moment.
When the Mobile App will be ready? Also, what will be the Cost?
We are adding the last thing required by apple to make it compliant for app store. Should be within days.
Thanks,
Paolo
Really interested in this theme and the apps. Please let me know when you are launching the apps.
I’m really curious about this themes. Can you let us know about how it looks like. Do we need to pay more?
you can see front end here: http://demo.geotheme.com
If you want to test admin side 1st register a user here: http://www.geotheme.com/register/ than register a playground here : http://www.geotheme.com/register-playground/
Thanks
Hi – is there a release date for the app?
within a week from now.
Any update now?
What’s the ETA on the iOS app?
We are finishing adding the moderation system required by apple for user generated content.
Mid august the latest.
What about the android app?
Released at the same time?
Android app will be released after GT4, end of the year
is the child theme mobile friendly? can customer get to the site with mobile cellphones?
not yet. iOs app is about to be released. GT4 will include responsive layout…
When is GT4 available? Need responsive layout….is GT3 responsive to those who have the app currently?
we released 3.2 responsive last week.
Hi,
I like this theme very much. have a few questions;
1) will user’s location be automatically identifid per IP address when one on the site? I tried the playground and found it can’t find my city. 2) will other general wordpress plugin work wih this site? I would like to add a question& answer plugin to allow visitor to ask questions
3) the signup is optional to visitor to search on the site, is that right
Thanks
Hi,
1) yes geolocation works like that, but probably your city isn’t listed in the playground (we listed only 2 cities as example, Philadelpiha and Glasgow)
2)most plugin works fine with GeoTheme, but we can’t guarantee the all will work. Some may create some conflicts.
3)signup is needed only to list new places and events. Search is public.
Tahnks
Thank you for your reply. I have one more question
form your data in question 1, I figure that we have to input all location in order to get the map function. before I have enough clients list on my directory, is there a way just link to current google places to get the data from there?
Thanks
Jing
no it isn’t
Can I buy now only geotheme and later buy and add iPhone App?
Would it create any problems, such as – redesign the site, add data again etc?
Thanks
Yes you can. App and website share the same database, so there are no extra settings for the App. Once built it is immediately synced with website.
Hi !
Is there a way to geo-locate a user in the homepage map? I mean, the map zoom where the user is…
Thanks.
only with the app that uses GPS. The theme only locates the nearest city
Thanks for informations.
So, if i understand well, i’ll need to create a lot of city to having something like that?
But it’s impossible to list all cities, so how it works during creating listing? The listing will be link to what?
Do you have a solution to simulate this geo-location?
Cities must be entered by city admin for GeoTheme to work.
Hello,
Planning on purchasing this. Have a few quick questions:
1) What’s the ETA on having the geolocate working on the responsive app?
2)) if geo locate will be available on responsive, will it have features where it will go down to actual location., and suggest highest rated content based on the exact location?
3). Will #2 work in mobile app that way, as well?
These are show stoppers for me.
Thanks
Hi Geolocation works on responsive, but it’s linked to user IP, doesn’t use GPS, so it locates user current city, not precise location.
The mobile app uses GPS.
Thx
Hi,
Great work with this theme, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! Question regarding geolocation though, is it possible to allow users to “check in” to places? …this probably applies to profiles as well, but I’m curious if this is possible with this theme…
Thanks for your great work!
Hi,
currently there is not a “check in” feature.
We will consider it for the future though.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to purchasing this, but i have a question, is possible to put a booking hotel- and fly plug in?
If possible to put video media plug in in the directory contact information search?
I mean in the theam and the app
THANK YOU
ANGEL
Hi,
you can probably use an affiliate widget from portals like booking.com or expedia.
I don’t think there is anything built for wordpress that could let you do that otherwise.
Videos can be added to places in the website. They will not appear on the app though.
Hi Paulo,
i’m interested on geotheme. i want to know if i buy the theme with two child themes, all of them support mobile device? That is when users browse my site through mobile browser, they can see geotheme in mobile version?
Yes!
In this theme the GeoLocation this is a plugin?
I need a theme with and advance search options with Geolocation.
Thanks for you help!
No it isn’t. It is part of GeoTheme…
