Wow! Thanks. I continue to praise your wonderful product and support to anyone who will listen. GeoDirectory is adaptable to so many application. Love it!
Thanks!
First, can you let me know here in the forum if changing Miscellaneous (French) to St. Bartholomew and Netherlands Antilles to St. Martin in the database will cause any future conflicts? Maybe with an import, an update, or something else I’m not thinking of.
Thanks for the support offer. I’ll play with the preset options and see what I come up with. I’ll Skype you if I can’t come up with a solution for the undeveloped island counties in the Caribbean. Dealing with the VI hasn’t been an issue yet. The VI is pretty much like the US or UK in terms of addresses and locations. A country like St. Vincent, totally different story.
As I entry sample addresses, I realize that disabling the maps and creating a country (renamed island) drop-down is totally necessary. Yoga studios are what I’m dealing with. Here are the issues so far: 1) In the Caribbean, the majority of roads are dirt tracks. 2) Businesses on these roads us PO Boxes or General Delivery. 3) Most islands don’t have or use zip codes and they don’t have regions.
From the landing page of my website, I want users to select the island they are interested in visiting and to be passed through to a page with a calendar of classes for that island.
It’s nearly impossible to enter an Caribbean address with Region and City activated. If I deactivate it, however, the application limits me to one location. Please help!
Exploring further – the only changes I’d have to make is changing Miscellaneous (French) to St. Bartholomew; Netherland Antilles to Sint Maarten/St. Martin (however, note that half the island is the French West Indies and the other half is Dutch); and Caribbean Netherlands to Bonaire. So that’s only three changes. Les Saintes belongs Guadalupe so we’re okay there. Aruba and Curaçao have their own entries. Saba and Statia, I guess, will just have to be left out – they are very small.
St. Bart is a very popular island and no one will know to look under Miscellaneous (French) so that’s not going to work out the way it is.
Correction – Miscellaneous(French) – (includes St. Barths, St. Martin, Les Saintes)and Caribbean Netherlands (includes Sint Maarten, Saba, Statia, Bon Aire, Curaçao, and Aruba).
Pure genius! Thank you so much for extra effort. This make my application much more polished.
Hi Kiran, Thanks! Can you pass along a suggestions to the dev team? Adding the option to mark a Place/Business as Private or Public would be way useful (public meaning permission for non-owners to link to it). Consider this. A teacher offering a class at a community center does not own the community center. Likewise, a musician doesn’t own the venue where she is playing. However, in both these scenarios, it would be extreamly useful for the event to be linked to the location, right???
Thank you Paolo. I look forward to your reply. Again, great product and wonderful team you have at GeoDirectory!
