Guys, It did not work. I did not add too many records into the directory. Just used your sample data populating tool to add and even the categories were ur sample categories. But when I created a new place under a specific category called “Festivals” and then when I chose the “Restaurants” option from the links on the top of the page, it shows all the restaurants as populated by your sample data. Now, when I search using keywords and type the name of a place that I created and that is not assigned to the “Restaurants” category , the site forgets about the category filter and searches for the name and lists it.
When I search by restaurants, the URL is “http://wpgdtrial.localtest.me/places/restaurants/”
When I search by festivals, the URL is “http://wpgdtrial.localtest.me/places/festival/”
When I search by restaurants and they type keyword “pvsat” for searching, the URL changes to “http://wpgdtrial.localtest.me/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=pvsat&snear=&sort_by=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=”The URL must remain as “http://wpgdtrial.localtest.me/places/restaurants/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=pvsat&snear=&sort_by=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=”
when I click the search button. I tried to manually change the URL to the above one and the result is fine, i.e it is not able to find PVSAT under the places/restaurants. But your search button is somehow hardcoded to forget the category selection. Guess it is a bug or I must be knowing some setting to be enabled / disabled somewhere..Yes, Buddy press works. The enabling of admin area access to users option as mentioned in the post works good and exposes only the profile section of the member, but I felt buddy press was even better as it offers more options and scope to expand in future as my site might need such a feature. So, I ended up discovering about buddypress thru this post. Thanks guys. I am amazed at the kind of dev team WPGEODIRECTORY is having for quick responses. So, problem solved with BuddyPress plugin.
Oh no, that will expose them to the wp-admin portal which I do not want to do. I want them to be just users of the site, add posts etc like they do on say FB or any other classifieds portals but not see my admin area.. I may even delete the wp-admin folder altogether when I go live and keep it only on my local machine and connect to the remote MySQL Server in the hosted server.. I will try adding the widget as suggested earlier and also try the buddy press as I need that kind of profile page etc for my users to add more info about themselves to be searchable by the audience
Thanks mate. I will try do this. Appreciate the instant help. I bought your plugins without testing anything and just going thru ur support forum and the quick responses i found there for various topics ( Whether i understood what it was is a different matter!!)
