Option 2:
Nearest Requirements
This
functionality requires an Internal Use PostZon License, to allow
data to be uploaded, and used internally on one machine. To
trial the system you can simply used LicenseID =
0, this will give 500
demo address in list 1 and 2 as listed on the upload spreadsheet.

Note:
Any lists or templates that has not been used for 6 months will
deleted.
Nearest Web Data
We offer a Web based solution to allow the
location of Stores to be loaded onto our server, either by putting
the data in an Excel spreadsheet and simply importing the data using the tool
provided by us. Or for those who want total integration we
provide a Web SOAP Service which allows calls to manage list by your program/web site.
Then a simple call web page, SOAP service or HTTP request to
return the closest stores to the TargetPostCode.
[Click here to see simple web page results]
The returned results can be either returned as
XML or merged with
a template you provide to give desired HTML to produce the
list. So simply call using server side script, and pop
the returned HTML into your page . Another function will
return Google Map code, together with the HTML to display results on
a map together with the nearest store list.
If the process returns a very small number of
results, then widen the search area if need be.

Description
|
|
YourID

Your identifier, you can use to get full
record from your database.
UNIQUE

|
YourData1

This
can be loaded with any text you want to display. This could be
loaded with the ID of your record, full address, directions,
etc.
This
data is then merged with your template to expand to full HTML

Can
be used to filter out certain kinds of locations, in nearest
list and show different icons on a map
Optional
Char
[See
Example 5]
TypeFilter
will optionally filter out records from the nearest
list. You could use "A" for major stores,
"B" small stores and "C" for Petrol
stations. Then if displayed on map they could all have
different Pins. The actual list returned could
only include "AB", so the petrol stations would not
be listed.
This field could also be loaded with codes, which
relate to qualifications. Then the service is called with
the type code (qualification code) to product a list of
nearest consultants with curtail qualifications. |

Area
|
Allows you to
display all Stores in a certain area.
Optional String (2)
To display a map
for Area simple call the
GetNearestToPostCodeTemplateAndMap
with
ExtraFlags="AreaCode=Area"
the TargetPostcode should be set to center the
map
[See
Example 6,7]

The Excel spreadsheet
allows you to upload the above data very easily
Nearest to Postcode Functions Provided are:
Common Parameters:
|
LicenseID
|
Your License ID (Account Number)
This is given to you
when you open an account with us
|
|
ListID
|
1-10, allows you to have multiple lists.
|
|
Password
|

|
ErrorDesc
|
Returns any errors if they occur, other wise
“” if OK |
For Trail use set
to 0. ListID=1 and 2 which are List 1 and 2 on the
spreadsheet. When calling these lists the DataKey,
LicenseID and Password
are ignored. You will NOT be able to update
these list.

All the other parameters are used by mapping
functions, and can be left blank if map is not needed.
IconsLocation
is optional, but should point to web directory where pin icons can
be found. Icons should be named "icon" &
type & ".png" so different icons can be used for
different types of nearest property. Such as schools etc. If
blank will use default Google pin. If type is not used you
should give a "icon.png", and "shadicon.png" if
shadows are on. [See
Example 5 shows type icons]
if
ShowTargetPin
then displays a ping for the Target Postcode "icontarget.png",
and "shadicontarget.png" if shadows are on.
[See
Example 2 and 3]
TargetPin_Details
show if user clicks on pins. Leave blank if not needed.
Click on target pin in example 2 and 3.
ShowShadowOnPins,
if true then uses shadow pins. Uses the same names as other
icon with prefix "shad". Therefore "icontarget.png"
becomes "shadicontarget.png". If using filter
on types then icon for shadow is called "shadiconfilterout.png".
All examples use shadows.
UseNumberedPins
if True then uses "iconx.png" where x is the rank
in the results. This allows you to create pins representing
1-10 (or A-Z) and display them which match the text results (using
_rank_ or
_alphcount_ tag to match).
[See
Example 4 and 5]
Target_PinIcon_Details,Included_PinIcon_Details

FilteredOut_PinIcon_Details
should
be a list of co-ordinates for each type of icon. IconsSizeX,
IconSizeY, ShadowSizeX, ShadowSizeY, IconAnchorX, IconAnchorY,
InfoWindowAnchorX and InfoWindowAnchorY
TabTemplate1
template to merge with your data to show details when user clicks on
pin. Leave blank to just show pins. [See
Example 2]
TabTemplate2-4
extra tabs on pins. Leave blank if not needed. Use tag <tabname>Tab
Name</tabname> to define tab names within TabTemplate1-4.

HTTP
calls should only be made by server side script since they contain
your password.
If
error then returns error description:

This
call returns both the merged template data (list of stores) and the Google map
code in XML. This returned code is then simply displayed
on your own page, using your own Google Map key.
See the PHP
