I don’t think map markers is the best way to do this,
I agree. Here’s an idea for the online directory use-case.
Remove the map altogether. Listings can be associated with 1 or more countries. Add a dropdown list of countries. If a user selects United States, he’s shown all the listings associated with the USA. If he has USA selected, and click a category, he’s shown all the listings in the USA associated with the category.
Map is not needed at all for that use-case. It can be a CPT that doesn’t have an address, but instead can be associated with 1 or more countries.
How does that sound?
We tried a workaround to duplicate the Single Tabs widget in 2 columns. The idea was to hide the review form in one column, to show only the reviews, and to hide reviews in the other column, to show only the form. However it seems the Single Tabs widget can only appear once per page.
Thanks Alex, that was very helpful. Everything is solved except reviews. We managed to get around the no shortcode limitation by removing everything from GD Tabs, only leaving Reviews there, and inserting the GD tabs widget. Two issues left:
1) We’d like to show reviews in one column, and the add review form in another. It seems reviews is an all or nothing. Can you please consider splitting reviews and the add review form into 2 different widgets?
2) How do we paginate and set the number of reviews to show per page?
ThanksThe most immediate use-case is an online store directory. Ecommerces don’t sell at 15 John Street, but to the United States. Putting 4000 pins in the US is not a problem, because maps aren’t so useful for online directories. (and you offer the cluster plugin). 99.9% of ecommerces sell to countries, not regions or cities. I can’t imagine an online store selling just to California. So if the other address fields weren’t required, we could have a CPT with only the country field. The only other change needed, as mentioned in a separate topic, would be to make addresses a 1 to N association, because website often sell to multiple countries (USA and Canada, Australia and NZ). GD would put a pin on each address (country) associated with the listing.
Anyway, we understand this is a big change to your existing plugin. Alex, Kor, Guust, Stiofan, and Paolo have offered outstanding customer service and support, really a 10/10 all around experience, and we are very pleased with existing business directory features GD has. We wouldn’t mind looking for an alternative plugin for the online directory use-case.
This post is about one listing being associated with multiple addresses, the other post is about all address fields being mandatory.
If you believe they’re duplicated, please delete this one, no problems.
Thanks.Google accepts only Countries, Regions, or Cities perfectly fine.
City: San Francisco https://www.google.com/maps/place/San+Francisco,+CA/@37.7578149,-122.5078109,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80859a6d00690021:0x4a501367f076adff!8m2!3d37.7749295!4d-122.4194155
There is no reason to force listings to be classified up to the street address.
I can’t do that, sorry. Duplication where? There isn’t any other category with this slug. Are slugs a global thing? If I have a page with slug “car” (site.com/car), would it cause a conflict with a Places category with the slug “car”?
Locations are like categories. The country is like the main category, regions are like sub-categories etc.
I don’t know how this is related to the topic, but to use your analogy, if:
Country = category
Region = sub-category
City = sub-sub-category
Street Address = sub-sub-sub-category
Then why not let us add a listing with just the category (country)? Why do you make us classify to sub-sub-sub-category level?What does that have to do with the topic?
Yes, but to update the map icon you also need to do it one by one.
You can create a CPT that does not use addresses, and then use tags or custom fields or categories to nominate delivery areas.
But then they won’t show up in the map.
But street address can be anything, but cannot be blank. For example, you can use “Online store”.
Or you can make the field optional. What’s the logic behind all parts of the address being required?
Widget name for:
1. Full description, as it is in Profile Tab. (Post content doesn’t show full description and it ads “read more” at the end)
2. Photos as in Photos Tab
3. Leave review form as it is in Reviews Tab
4. the actual reviews
5. Paging for reviews
6. Tags
Thanks.Thank you for the super fast fix!
There are 2 search forms on the site: Site Search and GD Listings Search. We prefer GD Listings not to show on Site Search, and other thing that are not GD Listings not to show on GD Listings.
To keep them separate.
Solved. There is no need to create a page. Create a new archive Elementor template and set the display condition to Events (after installing the plugin). This will capture everything with /events in the url.
