Hi Stiofan,

Thank you for looking into this.

At Geodirectory / Multilocations I have set the city coordinates for Singapore to lat 1.2835627 / lon 103.8606872 which is equal to the coordinates of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel which by many is considered to be right in the middle of Singapore.

If I search for Singapore then following search url is generated:

http://www.globalguidepro.com/?geodir_search=1&s=+&snear=Singapore&sgeodir_classification=&sgeodir_price_range=&stype=gd_place&sgeo_lat=1.352083&sgeo_lon=103.81983600000001

It appears that the coordinates are taken from Google instead of Geodirectory / Multilocations. Consequently the distance of the Marina Bay Sands hotel to the city centre is shown as 8.87 km, which is simply misleading for Singapore as the city centre as delivered by Google is the geographical centre of Singapore which is in the middle of a central water catchment area a couple of km away from the actual city centre.

If I manually correct the search url to:

http://www.globalguidepro.com/?geodir_search=1&s=+&snear=Singapore&sgeodir_classification=&sgeodir_price_range=&stype=gd_place&sgeo_lat=1.2835627&sgeo_lon=103.8606872

the distance of the Marina Bay Sands hotel to the city centre is correctly shown as 0 meters. So there is nothing wrong with the distance calculation as such.

Is there are quick way to modify listing-listview.php in a way that the coordinates are taken from Geodirectory / Multilocations rather than from Google? That would enable me to set the city centre coordinates for all cities manually to the actual centre of the cities rather than taking what Google Maps calculates as the city centre.

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for the fast response.

Re. 1) I understand that neighbourhoods will only show on location sessions. This is not easy to explain to users, but so be it.

Re. 2) I still do not understand how the listings are getting into the what you call location page. I now understand that location page, ‘Geodirectory / Design / Home’ and ‘GD Home’ refers to the same thing. I played with the widgets and still don’t understand how the listings are getting into the location page. Can you please tell me in detail which widgets need to go where to make the location page showing listings?

Re. 3) Got it. As long as the location page is not working, the location switcher does not produce any results.

Best, Markus

Hi Stiofan,

thank you a lot! It works very well.

Hi Stiofan,

Thank you for looking into that topic.

One good example for a custom field is geodir_classification in wp_geodir_gd_place_detail. The values need to be entered as number ranging from 1 to 5 but need to be shown as a number of stars in the front-end e.g. ***** for a 5-star hotel.

I would like to implement something like:

add_filter(‘XXX_HOOK’,’ggp_geodir_classification’);
function ggp_geodir_classification( $classification ){
if($classification ==’5′)
$stars = str_replace(‘5′,'<i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i>’,$classification);
elseif($classification ==’4′)
$stars = str_replace(‘4′,'<i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i>’,$classification);
elseif($classification ==’3′)
$stars = str_replace(‘3′,'<i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”></i>’,$classification);
elseif($classification ==’2′)
$stars = str_replace(‘2′,'<i class=”fa fa-star”></i><i class=”fa fa-star”>’,$classification);
else
$stars = str_replace(‘1′,'<i class=”fa fa-star”></i>’,$classification);
return $stars;
}

What would be the XXX_HOOK?
