Niche Store Sort by Zip
Written by mbpage on August 20, 2008
With the release of the free bans templates I am finally able to achieve something I have wanted to for quite some time. I have several stores selling motor vehicles e.g. Jeeps. eBay motors offer thousands of great value deals but, obviously, America is a big country and most of us are not going to travel a couple of thousand miles to pick up a used bargain Jeep.
Previously I had to spend a lot of time customizing the ugly BANS templates to make use of the advanced search facility or searching for a customized version (which I never found). Several of the new templates include the advanced search facility in a prominent position. As soon as time allows I will swap out some of my existing templates to allow users to target vehicles within a certain radius of their of location.
If you have stores where being able to search on location is useful, and like me you’re not a coder, then you can convert existing stores in about 30 mins (including header creation). I’ve been putting it off but now I have no excuses and neither do you.

I’m using the 1 left black template. Search box is in top left. Click advanced search, enter your zip code/post code and radius of search. Check the results.
