Just noticed another related issue: go to torontomindbody.org, select any place or event listing, go to the reviews tab and hover just to the left of the 5-start input field. It’s possible to give a 6 out of 5 rating! WTF?
This reply has been marked as private.Hi Dave,
Only minor issues with buddyPress in Canvas: buttons are borked, but easily fixed with css. Stuff like that. Should be fine.
Cheers,
gThis reply has been marked as private.Yup, my mistake. I assumed the field would be consistent with places and appear below the package. Didn’t look far enough down the page. Thanks, Guust. This can be marked as resolved: error between keyboard and chair.
@Vikas Please re-read my original post and check the attached screenshots from torontomindbody.org, which is a live production site using the most recent versions of GD plugins and extensions. As you can see, coupons are enabled and the coupon field is visible on the Add Places form, but not on the Add Event form. This appears to be a bug, not a configuration error.
This reply has been marked as private.Site is launched; can’t change url structure anymore. I was just posting for others’s benefit, but I’m sure it works fine. Thanks.
Thanks, @Vikas. Sorry for the duplicate. I missed the original bug report.
It would be great to give the end user the option to disable the address entirely, both address fields and map coordinates (so, Paolo’s option two above, I guess). The use case, which I just got a note about from one of our users, is virtual online events, where there is no physical address associated with the event.
So a checkbox on the front end with a customizable label that says something like, “This event has no location” or “This is a virtual event”. The checkbox would hide the address fields and map and mark the fields as not required.
Thanks, @guust.
@dnosker First off, this is the first site I’ve built with either Canvas or GeoDirectory, so I’m not a master of either. (In fact, it’s the first WP site I’ve built in over 6 years – we are primarily a Drupal shop.)
That said, we had no major issues that couldn’t be resolved in css. If you’re interested, I’ve attached a file (gd.txt) with the css customizations we used to integrate GD into a Canvas child theme.
I haven’t used Canvas with BuddyPress yet, but we are about to start a project that will, so stay tuned.
@paolo Don’t take this the wrong way, but saying GeoDirectory has the one of the best payment options of any directory is like saying BMW makes the best coffee of any car manufacturer. That doesn’t make it good coffee.
It makes sense to bake in payment processing if GD is the primary or only site feature (e.g. it’s a directory or event listing site). On larger sites with multiple payment processing requirements, it’s redundant. To sell listings and memberships, for example, you would have to set up two separate and independent payment solutions, which makes no sense and just wouldn’t happen on a larger build.
As a stand-alone solution, GD’s payment processing is fine. But it needs to support integration to be viable on larger projects. Is there any reason we can’t have both options? Would it be possible to sponsor a WooCommerce integration extension?
@manilaboy I’m in Canada, but I get your point. 😉
To be clear, I’m recommending that the fields be toggleable in the admin interface, not permanently removed. This way admins can decide if end users should see the fields or not. Why? It’s better to not print a field at all than to print and then hide it with css.
+1 if you want the lat/lon fields off the end user interface?
@mindfulworld Are you using a caching front-end for your site? This sounds like the behaviour you would see if the location switcher is unable to store session data ($_SESSION) on your host. Location switcher doesn’t play well with caching front ends such as Varnish cache.
