AJAX Forms Key Features

Creating AJAX Forms is as simple as creating any other forms using GEO my WP forms builder. Create a new AJAX form, set up the different options, and enter the AJAX form shortcode anywhere on the page where you wish to display it.

Most of the AJAX form settings are the same as the settings provided in the "Normal" forms ( Posts Locator, Members Locator... ). In the screenshots below, you can see the different tabs and settings of the AJAX forms.

Additional Key Features

Described below are the settings that are unique to the AJAX form and are not included in the "Normal" forms.

Order-by Filter

Set a default order-by value, or display an order-by drop-down menu in the search results to allow users to order the list of results.

You can set a default order-by value when the page first loads ( Page Load Results tab ), a default value when the form is first submitted ( Form Submission tag ), and generate an order-by drop-down menu to order the results after form submission.

The order-by options are:

  • Posts Locator - distance, post_title, post ID, date created, last modifed, and post type.
  • WordPress Users Locator - distance, user ID, display name, username, user nicename, user email, and user registered.
  • BuddyPress Members Locator - distance, active, newest, popular, online, and alphabetical.
  • BuddyPress Groups Locator - distance, active, newest, popular, and alphabetical.

Load More Button / Pagination

Choose between the standard numeric pagination or a load more button to load more results.

Marker Clusters

Use marker marker clusters to group markers that are on the same exact location or very close by on the map.

AJAX powered Info-window

The details of each location on the map is displayed using the information window ( info-window ). The info-window opens with a click on a map marker, and the data of the info-window generated via AJAX.

  • Choose between standard or popup info-window.
  • Choose between different info-window template files.
  • Choose the information taht displays in the info-windw. Elements like address fields, image, location meta, and more.
