I just did it and it works. I can replace the featured checkbox with another custom checkbox with the standard value “unchecked” in the “free package” and visible just for “Admin only edit” and with the option “Include this field in sorting options” and made it as standard sorting.

And it works! This is great.

I have used the following shortcodes for the checkbox with the key “empfehlung”:

On the archive item page:

For the top left angle:

[gd_archive_item_section type='open' position='left']
[gd_post_badge key='empfehlung' condition='is_not_empty' badge='EMPFEHLUNG' bg_color='#ed6d62' txt_color='#ffffff' css_class='gd-ab-top-left-angle gd-badge-shadow']
[gd_post_images type='image' ajax_load='true' link_to='post' show_logo='true']
[gd_archive_item_section type='close' position='left']

and for the Badge under the title:

[gd_post_badge key='empfehlung' condition='is_not_empty' icon_class='fas fa-grin-hearts' badge='Mach mit!' bg_color='#ed6d62' txt_color='#ffffff' alignment='left']

On the detail page:

[gd_post_badge key='empfehlung' condition='is_not_empty' icon_class='fas fa-grin-hearts' badge='Mach mit!' bg_color='#ed6d62' txt_color='#ffffff' alignment='left']

And on the GD listings:

[gd_listings title="Gemeinschaftsevents" event_type="upcoming" post_type="gd_event" related_to="default_category" post_limit="2" add_location_filter="1" with_pics_only="1" use_viewing_post_type="1" sort_by="empfehlung_desc" title_tag="h2" layout="2" view_all_link="1" with_pagination="1" bottom_pagination="1" hide_if_empty="1" category="24"]

Thank you Alex for your help!

In this case, the admin or the moderator of the site has to reset this field to “unchecked” after each listing submit and each listing update. This is not so optimal.

Is there maybe a workaround with another custom field? What about if I add another checkbox custom field to the Add listing form? What I want to achieve:

1. A custom field like a checkbox with the standard value “unchecked”.
2. This field should not be visible to the users, just for the admin. I suppose the option “Admin only edit” should be enough for this or do I am wrong, do I misunderstand the use of this option?
3. The field should be used with the free package.
4. The field should be used for sorting.
5. The field should be outputted on the listing as a badge.

Is this possible with GD? (I’m not sure if free package and “Admin only edit” are compatible options)

2. I could not find a possibility to hide the Invoices badge with CSS. Do you have an idea how to hide the badge for the Invoices under the user name?

Thank you Alex for your answer!

I see, I have excluded it from the standard free package, and now is completely excluded from the Add listing form too, even if the field is still active and with the option “Admin only edit” checked.

Does this mean, that I can not have the field Is featured as unchecked by default and just by admin editable and part of the Add listing form?

Thanks again!

Thank you Naveen for your quick answer and for adding this as a feature request. This can be very helpful for regional directories.

Thank you for your good work!
