User Location Plugin for Mobile Wordpress Sites?

KingMedia · 9th Sep 2012, 02:00 PM

So I use WordPress for all my mobile websites and want the user to be notified of deals at their current location (via zip code I would assume?)

Is there a plugin that does this? I looked for a "foursquare" one, but it was all geared towards the webmaster's location, not the browsers.

Something where they do not have to sign up, it just asks "this website would like to use your current location"... along those lines. And it would redirect them to deals/offers at that location.

I see mobile "APPS" do this all the time, can it be done on a mobile site using WP?

* Any "push notifications" type plugins as well? My search came up empty.

Please let me know!

I've been thinking about developing an app that does this.

if you find a plugin I'm interested as well.

Creating a mobile site is much easier than an app, that is why I am looking for a location type plugin in order to deliver local results based on the users location and possibility of "push" notifications.

So far, not having much luck!

Anyone??

This would be tough w/ a mobile website. There is no ongoing connection with mobile websites, as you have with an app. For example, an app can check the User's location every hour, but a mobile website can only check a User's location when they are viewing the page. Still potential here though. I'd suggest going with SMS over push notifications. Some day in the future mobile websites will have all of the capabilities that apps have.
