    I’m looking at your plugin to replace geo functions on a number of current sites and we’ve been especially impressed with the features you offer. The directory, events, reviews and image submission allows us to replicate and improve on our functionality.

    There’s one big stumbling block, and that is including posts in the geodirectory. We need this as the relevant posts are walking trails which need a custom template and the image upload for the directory, bypassing media directory cause some workflow issues for us (we know this is functionality, but we don’t want to have to reupload images for posts that already exist).

    I’m wondering if you will be implementing post locations at some point?

    How difficult is it to create an add in plugin for this functionality as I have a developer helping out. Happy to hack away at functions.php myself!

    Or, Does the custom post plugin allow me to geolocate custom posts using my own custom templates? We can easily convert the relevant posts into custom posts.

    Thanks, really hoping we can get this plugin doing what we need on our series of sites!

    Thanks Guust, that’s very helpful. I’ve noticed it’s also one of the top feature requests along with booking fees, another killer feature for us.

    I’ve just one question Re using a custom post type via the plugin.

    Does it have its own page template so we can modify the layout without affecting the listing? I know regular cpt have a post template that can be reasonably easily modified with some coding.

    The detail page can be modified to some extent for different CPTs, it just depends what changes you have in mind.
    All templates can be changed, but all CPTs use the same template, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make any other changes.
