New retailers

Website Comments by DANSTING

I'm just curious...how long does it take for a new retailer that I submitted to be put into the compass? I've added a few, but they haven't shown up yet. No rush, as I'm sure the BeerPal guys are busy (especially with the new server and forum), but I was just curious.

A few milliseconds! In fact, the retailers don't even have an approval process. Can you give me the name of one that you added? I don't understand why it wouldn't be in there.

I know that I added McCoy's, River Market Brewery, and the Power Plant Brewery, and all are within my zip of 66204 yet don't show up in the compass as being so. I think that is all that I added. (I was even sober when I did it.)

Crap. Those places are in the Compass. If you do a search at the top of the page, it finds them. But the problem is they don't show up when you do a zip code search in the Compass. I thought I saw something funny like this before! I have no idea why, but it looks like new entries aren't working for zip code searches. It may be that they're not getting entered into the database correctly. The first 800 or so places were done by me with a different method, so that could be why some do work. I'll look into the code and database later.

No problem. I just know that when I go visit my parents, I look by the zip. That's easiest for me. You're probably right. I probably didn't update them properly. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't searching correctly.

No, I didn't mean YOU didn't enter them properly, but the website code. The zip code shows up in the address, so that can't be the problem.

Fixed! I accidentally had the zip search code only selecting entries that were approved. Only took a minute to solve, and then I cleaned up the page a little bit. Still needs some more work.
