Hi Kiran,
Thank you for your feedback.
1) I used your PHP snippet and it seems to work properly, thank you.
2) Yes, I have translated GD core and Event Manager plugin in WPML, at least the strings that I found until now (I also did a test by translating all remaining strings for “August” to see if it would get translated in the calendar but it still doesn’t change anything). The calendars for “Start date” and “End date” appear correctly (see first two screenshots), the issue is that the appearance, first day of week and language for the calendar under “Recurring event” >> “Repeats = Custom” differ completely (see third screenshot), as if they were created with a completely different component (as also proven by the different classes in the resulting frontend code). In addition it seems that this calendar is not localized (see test described above for the string “August”, but nothing has changed in the frontend).
NB: I will send you admin credentials in the next (private) reply.
Kind regards,
AronDear Alex,
Thank you, but unfortunately I was not asking for a link to the GD Experts directory, but more for some hint to put me in the right direction from the GD Devs.NB: Given that there is no longer a feature request system, I would like to officially request this feature (which in my opinion should be integrated similar to the way you already provide a “location filter” for search). As noticed earlier, other directories are using a similar structure (category-specific archive pages with a search form in them), and it is way too uncomfortable and counter-intuitive to have a search on a specific archive page which “shifts you back” on search results for all categories. This is as if, for example, you would go to a car dealer, list him all the feature of the car you are looking for (brand, specifications, etc.) and as soon as you wanted to further detail your search for the perfect car (e.g by a specific color) you would be presented again with a huge list of all cars available, ignoring your previous requests.
Sure, some customization is needed here (until someday it will be added as a standard feature, maybe, who knows…).
I can hack together a jQuery script to do it, but maybe I was hoping for some hint on how to do it the proper way, from the devs who know their system way better than me, in order to avoid surprises in the future…Oh, that’s sad… It is something that would come in very handy. I also see in the GD Showcase that there are other directories that use the same structure of having buttons to the main categories on the homepage, and then providing a search on these archive pages (take “ArboLife”, for example). As a user of the directory I would expect to have the most intuitive interaction possible, so if I already selected this main category, and then do a search on the corresponding archive page, it makes no sense that all categories are displayed alltogether again…
I could take the route suggested by you and add the category dropdown, but here, too, the user would still need to re-select the category (which he already selected by clicking on the homepage button) and that makes no sense in terms of usability.
Is there any way to have the category dropdown dynamically select the category of the active archive?
Hi Stiofan,
Thank you for the quick and very effective solution, the “geodir_cf_address_template” filter was exactly what I needed and it worked like a charm!
Would it be possible to list these two snippets (and other similar “gems”) in the docs somewhere? I suppose it would be useful to other users in my situation (and also for future reference). Right now there is quite extensive documentation about the design elements, but unfortunately not about filters and code changes like these (as there was in V1). I know that V2 is way more effective and powerful as V1, and also requires less “hacks” to work as expected, but as my case has shown there are still situations where some code intervention is needed.
Wow, thank you also for including support for %%post_title%% already in the next release. This is worth a big thumbs up!
Hi Kor,
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, as I wrote in my original request, the GD Post Address element is only of a limited help (and unfortunately the documentation about it is equally limited as it seems to me). I managed to display a more or less correct address in the place detail, by inserting the following two elements:
[gd_post_title tag='b' ] [gd_post_address title='' id='' show='value' address_template='%%street_br%% %%zip%% %%city_br%%' alignment='' text_alignment='' list_hide='' list_hide_secondary='' ]In the sidebar the address is displayed through an “Output Location” widget (and by adding the sidebar under the Place settings, in “Show in extra output location”). Unfortunately this item provides no formatting/layout options.
The same goes for the map bubble (also added under “Show in extra output location”), where no formatting/layout option is available.I could “reconstruct” the whole layout in the sidebar, by using individual widgets instead of the single “Output Location” (even though it would be quite annoying to get the same layout, and additionally the actual usefulness of the “Output Location” widget would be questioned in this case…).
Concerning the map bubble, how exactly am I supposed to add the GD Post Address element to the map bubble?
Hi Kiran,
Thank you very much for finding the origin of the issue.
Who would have thought that a missing string translation for the month in WPML could cause such troubles… 😉Now it seems to work properly as expected.
Thank you again and kind regards,
AronHi Guust,
Thank you for the tests and your feedback.
Some additional feedback from my side:
- Caching plugins: one is GD Booster and the other is integrated with the Jupiter theme (“Theme caching”) and unfortunately (as far as I know) cannot be deactivated.
- Date format: do you mean under WP Settings > General? I have effectively set the standard Swiss date format. Does GD need any specific date format to work properly?
- Plugins: I will scan through the list of plugins and try to deactivate some of them to see if this can have any impact on the issue.
I will update you if there are any news.
This reply has been marked as private.Hi Kiran,
Can you please tell us when exactly this fix will be aplied, in which release?
I updated all plugins to the latest version but unfortunately still see the continuous spinner on my calendar.If it will not be fixed shortly, could you please provide us with the code and instructions on how to apply the patch about which you were talking above?
Thank you very much.
Perfect, thank you Patrik for your rapid response and for considering to add the separator in the next update! 🙂
Concerning the multicurrency part I will have to find a different approach, e.g. one “Sale price” and one “Rent” field for each needed currency. It’s not optimal, but it will work as a workaround for now.
Have a great day and enjoy your weekend,
Aron
