Sounds awsome. Hope it works with Australian postal codes

Hey Jake — perfect timing for your question…
We just added localization capabilities to the plugin for about 20+ countries in the past few days — Australia included.

This sounds EXACTLY what i’m looking for!! When will this be ready? Thanks so much !!!
November 24th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Great to hear Tony.
It will be ready sometime between Nov. 27, 2008 (Thanksgiving) and Dec. 1st, 2008
Updates will be posted soon.
December 1st, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Waiting with great anticipation…
December 1st, 2008 at 7:25 pm
… Don’t worry, we’re very near the end. We won’t keep you all waiting much longer. Thanks for your patience. We’re equally as as eager to get this out to you all …
December 1st, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Savages..all savages…take your time admin, quality > all.
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:59 am
Thank you. Look at this now as an early Holiday present, thus the wait may be more bearable. We’re pushing for full completion in the next 48-72 hrs.
With every last-second fix or update, we must ensure that everything else still functions properly — rest assured, we’re working faster than Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt in the 2008 Olympics
December 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Thank you all for your patience. Without further delay …
Version 1.0 is ready!
Here it is: http://www.viadat.com/2008/12/wordpress-store-locator-plugin-v10-is-here/

I’ve tried installing repeatedly.
Keep getting the following error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Unable to read 18618 bytes in /home/tpupaz/public_html/ataarizona/wp-content/plugins/store-locator/functions.sl.php on line 0
I’m using Wordpress 2.6.3
Thanks!! I’m so excited to get this up and running!!
December 6th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I’ve upgraded to 2.6.5 and still same install errors as above.
December 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Hey Tony,
Good to see you back … in your FTP program, you MUST use “Binary” mode, because files will corrupt if you upload in ASCII or Automatic mode
December 6th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Thanks much - I’ve always used auto determine. Plugin is activated, will post results and any other help I can provide. Thanks much!!!
December 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Tony …
Please re-download the plugin. We just identified & fixed one error unrelated to the one that you were receiving that might prevent locations from showing up during a search
December 6th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
It works awesome guys , check it out
http://ataarizona.com/store-locator/
I’m gonna try and build a form for the front page that will pass the value of the address to the store locator page.
If it works you can have a copy to distribute if you want as my way of saying thanks.
Also let me know if you want any reviews written up on this.
December 6th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Looks great Tony … Appreciate it. And if your extra script works, let us know!
Sure, a written review is welcomed.
