We have three things going on so perhaps you can help us narrow down what to do:
1. GD Archive template page with GD_loop. Users can select Places or Events from the same field dropdown on the left side of our Search bar on the home page, Location page, and search page. But downside is all recurrences of events are displayed, as mentioned.
Here’s the shortcodes on our GD_Archive template page:
[gd_notifications][gd_category_description][gd_search][gd_loop_actions][gd_loop_paging][gd_loop layout=1][gd_loop_paging]

2. We have an Events page menu item in the top navigation as Post Type Archive, and that too is displaying every event recurrence. This Events menu item was copied over from our live site to our dev site, so perhaps we don’t need it anymore?

3. A Test page https://thelocaldish.dbkdev.com/test/ was set up by our dev team in response to your suggestion on March 26, 2019 at 1:16 pm #476476 to use gd_listings.
[gd_listings post_type=”gd_event” single_event=”1″ related_to=”category” sort_by=”az” title_tag=”h3″ layout=”list” post_limit=”50″ add_location_filter=”1″ view_all_link=”1″ category=”0,3654,3836,3655,3652,3830,3656,3833,3832,3828,3829,3540,3657,3870″]

Is the gd_listings shortcode supposed to be used on one of the GD template pages to achieve our goal of making events searchable from a home, location or search page search bar along with Places?
OR
Should we be using gd_listings on the GD_archive page?
OR
Some other method?

Thanks very much for your patience!

Thanks, Alex!! Glad only a short response was needed.

Okay, we inserted the shortcode on our details listing page template to display the map with the Get Directions field underneath it. We have a few questions about the map setup:

Map to open in Google maps app:

A support forum posting on 12/10/18 about getting map Directions on detail page to open in Google map app was on this page:

It referred people to this page from 2016:

Here is the code.

function geodirectory_detail_page_google_map_link( $options, $canvas ) {

global $post;

if ( $canvas == ‘detail_page_map_canvas’ && !empty( $post->post_latitude ) && !empty( $post->post_longitude ) ) {

?>

<p>post_latitude . ‘,’ . $post->post_longitude ;?>” target=”_blank”><?php echo __( ‘Get Directions on Google Maps’, ‘geodirectory’ ); ?></p>

<?php

}

}

add_action( ‘geodir_map_after_render’, ‘geodirectory_detail_page_google_map_link’, 10, 2 );

Does this code automatically insert a different button under the detail listing page map for mobile users to click?

Or Does the code replace the function of the existing right justified Get Directions button?

Do the existing address entry field under the map and the Get directions button to the right remain for desktop users?

When walking or bicycling or public transport are selected per the attached image it indicates beta status. Has this been resolved in the recent GDV2 release version?

Thanks very much!!

Hi Alex,

Any Update on the topic.

Hi Alex,
Yes I am able to get those by using the shortcode however I am unable to do that on events archive page. Can You Suggest how can I do that.

Events Archive Page: https://thelocaldish.dbkdev.com/events/
Test page (using shortcode) : https://thelocaldish.dbkdev.com/test/

Thanks!
