Hello, I have bought the full Geodirectory pack with all the addons and I’m wondering if there is an option to add instead of special offers separate services for the listing?

For example if I’m doing a listing of beauty salons, I want to allow the users to add unique services to their salon like massages, treatments and so on, together with a price and duration for each service. I’ve seen the Geodeals plugin but that’s not what I’m looking for, not special offers, but normal offers that are fixed-priced and I can differentiate them one from another with a separate ID or something.

I think this functionality is much needed in Geodirectory and is required by not just me. That leads me to believe there is some solution I’m missing.

You can achieve that with GD custom fields, see here for more info: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/
You can add price fields etc.

Thanks

I have that installed and checked out. But, the problem with the predefined price is that it gives me one price for the whole listing (in my case the beauty salon). I want to be able to add different services with different prices.

You can create multiple fields. It is not completely clear to me what you exactly want to achieve though.

I have seen that, still doesn’t do the job. I will try to explain better what I need.

I want to allow beauty salons to list their salon together with their services (and prices) on my geodirectory page. That means I can’t really set up the fields from upfront because different salons will have a different number of services, it needs to be dynamic. I would like them to add their services in the add-listing form so their listing will have the normal fields and plus their services with duration and price, for example:

Listing name
Listing description
Tags
Category
Location/Map
Telephone
…
…
Services:
Facial treatment 30$ 30min
Whole body massage 40$ 1hr
…
…

(another salon will have different services to offer, and a different number of them)
I want the price and duration to be somehow connected to that particular service.

Do you understand better what I need?

Hi,

that’s not possible, only the admin can create custom fields in advance. The system doesn’t allow users to create their own custom fields.

Thanks
