                  Settings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
                  Map Width:<\/strong><\/td>\nEnter a width as a percentage or pixels, for example
                  \nif you add the widget to a content section, enter 100%<\/strong><\/em>, and
                  \nif you add the widget to a sidebar, enter the required width in pixels, for example 298<\/strong><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Map Height:<\/strong><\/td>\nEnter a height in pixels, or leave blank for the default height<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Map\u00a0Zoom\u00a0Level:<\/strong><\/td>\nChoose a map zoom level:
                  \n1<\/strong> will show the whole world and 19<\/strong> will zoom in as far as possible
                  \nNote 1:<\/strong> This setting is overwritten if you use Auto Zoom<\/strong><\/em>
                  \nNote 2:<\/strong> It is recommended to use a zoom level of about 10 if you use the widget on a Detail page<\/strong><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Map Auto Zoom:<\/strong><\/td>\nIf you tick this box, then the map will automatically zoom to a level that shows all listings
                  \nNote:<\/strong> Not recommended if yo use the widget on a Detail page<\/strong><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Map Sticky:<\/strong><\/td>\nIf you use the widget in a sidebar, this setting will make sure that the map stays visible even if a visitor browses lower than the map.
                  \nThis is handy on a Listings<\/strong><\/em> or Search<\/strong><\/em> page, because it allows visitors to pinpoint the location of a listing even when there are lots of listings shown on the one page.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Mouse Scroll:<\/strong><\/td>\nAllows visitors to use their mouse to zoom in or out, rather than being restricted by the map control<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                  <\/a>GD > Listing Slider<\/h3>\n

                  This widget will add a slider of selected listings to any of your GD pages, and can also be used on any non-GD page.
                  \n<\/i> You can only use one Listing Slider per page!<\/span>
                  \n<\/i> This widget is designed to be used in content sections or full-width sections, it does not work well in sidebars or columns with limited width.
                  \n<\/i> Only listings with images will be shown.<\/p>\n

                  <\/a>GD > Login Box<\/h3>\n

                  This widget will add a login box to any of your GD pages, and can also be used on any non-GD page.
                  \nThis is how it would look like.
                  \n\"loginbox\"<\/p>\n

                  <\/a>GD > Popular Post Category widget<\/h3>\n

                  \"Popular<\/p>\n

                  <\/a>GD > Popular Post View widget<\/h3>\n

                  This widget can be used in Content and Sidebar sections, as well as non-GD pages.<\/p>\n

                  <\/i> You can also add this widget using a shortcode.<\/a><\/p>\n

                  Settings<\/h4>\n

                  Most of the settings are straight forward, but note the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
                  Title:<\/strong><\/td>\nThis will be used for the heading of the widget.
                  \nYou can use %posttype_singular_label%<\/strong><\/em> or %posttype_plural_label%<\/strong><\/em> here.
                  \nThis is especially useful if you also use the Use current viewing post type<\/strong><\/em> setting (see below); in that case the heading will adapt to the post name<\/strong><\/em> of your Custom Post Type a visitor is viewing.
                  \nFor example New %posttype_plural_label%<\/strong><\/em> would show as New Places<\/strong><\/em> on any Place category page, and as New Events<\/strong><\/em> on any Event category page.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Listing width:<\/strong><\/td>\nAlthough this normally can be left empty, this setting allows you to tweak the automatic width of the listing.
                  \nFor example, if you choose a Two Column Grid View, your listings will be 50% wide.
                  \nEntering 48 into this field will adjust the width if necessary to 48%.
                  \nNote:<\/strong> Do not enter %<\/strong><\/em> as part of this setting, that will confuse some browsers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Post Content excerpt character count:<\/strong><\/td>\nSet this to the number of characters you want to show as part of the listing.
                  \nNote:<\/strong> By default, excerpts will only be shown for List View<\/strong><\/em> and Two Column Grid View<\/strong><\/em>. But excerpts can be shown for all Grid Views by adding this to your CSS:
                  \n.geodir_category_list_view li.geodir-gridview .geodir-content .geodir-entry-content {display: inline;}<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Enable Location Filter:<\/strong><\/td>\nIf you tick this box, then any listings shown will be filtered by the location chosen by your visitors.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Use current viewing post type:<\/strong><\/td>\nIf you choose this setting, then the listings displayed will be from the same Custom Post Type as the page the visitor is viewing.
                  \nSee also the Title<\/strong><\/em> setting above.
                  \nNote:<\/strong> This setting only applies if you add the widget to the GD Listings page<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                  Hide if no posts:<\/strong><\/td>\nThis setting will hide the widget completely if there are no listings returned for your parameters.
                  \nSo instead of saying that no records are found, the widget will just not be displayed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                  This widget is automatically added to your GD Search<\/strong><\/em><\/a> page and the GD Listings<\/strong><\/em><\/a> pages. Review how to adjust the display of these pages here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                  <\/a>GD > Recent Reviews<\/h3>\n

                  This widget will add a Recent Review section to any of your GD pages, and can also be used on any non-GD page.
                  \nYou can limit the number of reviews to display by inserting a value inside the widget options
                  \nThis is how it would look like.<\/p>\n

                            This Events widget is specifically for the detail pages of your listings, and will show the events that have been submitted for a particular place.<\/p>\n

                            The widget will only work on the default custom post type Places<\/strong><\/em>; it will not show on any other custom post type detail pages.<\/p>\n

                            Most of the settings are self-explaining, and are the same as some of the settings of the Popular Post View<\/a> widget, with one main difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
