Hello,

Is it possible to show listings by specifying the listing ID? I had a look through here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#listings but it doesn’t seem to be a parameter.

Thanks 🙂

No, that is not a documented param.

I will flag your topic for the developers and we can see what they say.

Hi,
I requested a single post shortcode for events about a year and a half ago. Found your post as I was checking back. I was offered a workaround. (#307867) To tag the post with a unique tag:

[gd_listings post_type=gd_event layout=1 tags=’YOUR-UNIQUE-TAG’ category=157]

Hope this helps.

Geodirectory, I think a listing ID would be a helpful parameter.

Thanks.

Cool, thanks drashida, that seems like a good way to make it work 🙂

Do you know if there’s a way to add a unique tag programmatically?

Hello,

It is not possible without core customization. But you can manage as @ayecode_alex said.
Ex:
[gd_listings post_type=gd_event layout=2 listing_width=100 character_count=140 post_number=1 with_pagination=0 event_type=”upcoming” tags=”museum”]

add any unique tag to the event that you want to display.

Hello

Thanks, I’ll do that. Is there a way to add a unique tag programmatically? I tried geodir_save_post_meta($value,’post_tags’,$value) but it doesn’t work.

Add tag just as normal.

Go to admin > Events > Edit event that you want to display > add tag to event (in Tags metabox at right sidebar) > Save

Hi Kiran,

I need to do it programmatically as part of a snippet. I’ve got a job CPT, and I’ve written some code that records the job id if a worker applies to that job. As the final part of this I want to list the jobs that a worker has applied to in their profile. My plan was just to do an “echo do_shortcode[gd_listings]” and specify the listing ID, but since this isn’t possible I’ll have to add the tag programmatically and specify it that way.

Is there a way to add a tag programmatically?

Thanks 🙂
Alex

@alex,

I like to suggest here:
Export your CPTs, process in an editor (you can easily code what you like for example a macro) and then import the changes. Is much easier than coding on a live database.

Best,
Dirk

the WP function for adding tags to a post is:

Try this:
```
$tag = 'museum';
geodir_save_post_meta( $post_id, 'post_tags', array( $tag ) );
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, array( $tag ), get_post_type( $post_id ) . '_tags' );
```
Replace “museum” with your own tag.

Thanks Dirk
I’ve now added the following code
```
wp_set_post_tags($value,"$value",false);
echo do_shortcode('[gd_listings post_type=gd_cv layout=1, tags="$value"]');
```
where $value is the id of the listing I want to show. It’s showing all listings of the type gd_cv so I think the GD tag filter isn’t working.

wp_set_post_tags will only add a tag in wp default db tables. We filter based on our table using our own API. Please try what Kiran suggested here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/gd-listings-by-id/#post-430656

Let us know if that works
