Version 1.0.0 · 24 files · text domain softglaze-search

Mapbox-backed directory search. Renders search forms, distance-sorted result grids, category blocks and provider profile pages off a configurable post type.

One of two divergent builds. The other is softglaze-search-multilingual. They share table names and shortcode tags, so only one may be active on a given site.

Provides

Shortcodes — [sg_search_form], [sg_search_results_page], [sg_search_form_single], [sg_search_form_dual], [sg_search_results_display], [sg_category_block], [sg_display_providers], [sg_latest_blog_grid], plus a generated [list_all_<slug>] per configured post type
Admin — Settings page holding the Mapbox public token (softglaze_search_mapbox_key), result page URL and form HTML
Universal templates — single-cpt-universal.php renders any configured post type, not just one

Tables

{prefix}sg_providers, {prefix}sg_reviews, {prefix}sg_faqs, {prefix}sg_suggestions. sg_providers is also written by SoftGlaze Trustoo Scraper.

Requires

ACF, and a Mapbox public token set in the plugin's settings. No token is bundled; map and autocomplete stay inert until one is entered.

Known issues, both pre-existing

assets/css/map.js posts to an AJAX action softplug_fetch_locations that no PHP handler registers. The script is enqueued, so the request fails silently.
The plugin writes to {prefix}sg_suggestions but never creates that table.

Removed dead code

Three files were deleted after checking they were unreachable: includes/painters-cpt.php (41 KB), includes/updatepost.php (33 KB) and includes/archive-cpt-universal.php. None was required by any file, none defined a symbol the loaded code called, none was wired to a template filter, and no other plugin referenced them. They held the only registration of a painters post type with painters_category / painters_services taxonomies, and the only CREATE TABLE for {prefix}sg_providers — all of which had therefore never run. No loaded file reads that table. The code remains in git history if it is ever wanted back.

Licence

This plugin ships no credentials. Every API key it needs is entered in the WordPress admin and stored as an option.
