Regarding the above, without the constant refresh, the Active Users feature is sort of useless then. Usually, our clients would like to see a general overview more than how many users are right now on their page. For them is more important to see the daily counts, to make comparisons, as it is at the moment.
Active users is a great feature if there is a sales channel impelemnted that can pick up on these users, like live chat, for example.
Our clients are following their daily business routine, more than hanging on their profile on the website to monitor who is at the moment on their page.
I can imagine that this is most of the time the case with directories websites and the clients they have.
I am just thinking out loud. Looking forward for your comments.
Thanks.

This reply has been marked as private.Hi Stiofan,
Thanks for the response. It makes the things more clearer now. The script already got blocked for my admin user, because I am all the time on the site and lots of time on the front-end browsing through the clients pages (still doing quite lots of tests, but it will continue in the future because we will bring changes and more features).
Some points to consider:
1. As admin, I have to be a lot of time on the front-end, logged in, helping the customers or just keeping eye on the things, etc.
2. The users might leave their page open while logged in, and forget about it.
Regarding this, what you would suggest to be the best to do?
Could it be different conditions applied for the admins and for the listing owners?
I suppose stopping after 5 mins for the listing owner is a good solution. After some weeks we can really say if it is the ultimate solution.
May be for the admin even more restricted? That it fires up once ONLY when the admin refreshes the page.
What if we just make it firing up only one page refresh for owner/admin? Would it be possible like that? Then we just need to teach our clients that they should refresh the page to see changes.
Let me know what is possible to be implemented and what are your further thoughts.
Thanks.
Hi Guust,
I couldn’t find what are the field names of these 2 fields, so I can target them. They are not controlled in the Additional Fields and they do not appear there.
Can you please point me out how I can target these 2 fields?
Thanks.
Thanks, Stiofan,
I will look at the docs there.
Thanks, paolo! Looking forward.
I am also interested in such tutorial

Thanks.
Works like a charm now! Thanks in a million!
Hi Stiofan,
I applied our API key with the code above. The sidebar maps on search results are working fine, but the Map in the Tab on the Listing Details Page doesn’t work. Just keeps rotating the loading image.
Do you know which Google APIs we need enabled to make all maps instances working properly?
Right now we have the following enabled for our API key:
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Distance Matrix API
Google Maps Geocoding API
Google Maps Geolocation API
Google Maps JavaScript APIThanks.
Thanks, Stiofan! Once again amazed how almost everything with GD can be solved with these little code snippets in functions.php.
I am a fan. Officially.
Ok, thanks, paolo. I will consider submitting it.
Cheers.
Hi Guust,
I thought of this option, but I need to use the GD widgets in the sidebar – the widget where I can show listings only with Special Offers.
Do you have any idea how I can filter like that with a Custom Field? I looked at the shortcode [gd_popular_post_view] doing the same like the widget but there is no such option.
Would be great to have such implementation in the future. To show only listings only if a specific custom field is present.
Any more ideas?
Thanks.
Hi paolo,
just playing around with some thoughts. Please comment on this if you have time.
So, first when searching via distance, the query’s most important parameter is the distance, and it is sorting out the results in an array with the closest listing first, etc., etc. Then this array is displayed as the search results. If we need to put the condition featured too then we have to create this second query to re-filter and rearrange the results and slowing down the performance. Am I following correct here?
What if when searching by distance we save the results in 2 arrays with a condition like this:
if distance + featured => save in array 1
if distance + non-featured => save in array 2
Display first results array 1, then display results array 2Is this possible? If yes, would that skip the second query or harm the performance?
Curious about your comments. Thanks.
