please open your own thread. This topic is totally unrelated to the original.
agreed. I can see why they chose to use the built in comment functionality for reviews but I can also see it’s limitations.
do you think we should we move forward with broadcasting reviews from the master site to the child site or leave them out?
Ok, edward has released a beta to me to test. So far, we’re looking good.
I can create a place, update all the settings, including address, and then broadcast it to a child site and have it all show up.
The one thing we need to figure out is reviews. I’m voting we broadcast reviews from the main site. However, he can make it so it doesn’t come through and they can collect their own reviews.
Also, since reviews are basically wp comments, does anyone also allow comments on the pages (besides reviews?) Because if we broadcast reviews, the comments for that page will come through too. He can separate them but it would take time.
Thoughts?
Awesome news so far. I’ll update Edward and keep everyone posted.
Anyone else?

Old post but I have update: I think I found a solution to this problem. Check out this post:

@wasanajones , I just spoke to the owner of Threewp Broadcast and he said he’d be willing to create an addon if we could round more 3 or more people. You seem to be into this so put your name in the hat here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/single-set-of-places-distributed-to-many-subsites/
Is there a column in the GD custom data table to tie a custom field to a WP post?
Ok, thanks.
I still need the question answered of why the custom fields do not show up in any custom field search through any plugin. I can see all of them from a variety of custom post types with the exception of geo directory.
Please let me know why they don’t show and if there’s anything I can do to get access to them.
Thank you!
Ok, I checked your demo here: http://wpgeo.directory/restaurants/
It definitely doesn’t do ajax results.
So let me know about the custom fields access. I find it odd that they don’t show when searching through them.
Thanks!
Weird. I have that plugin and it does not auto load results when an option is checked.
Are you sure (similar to the below link) it does that? I’ve tested it a few times and it never does ajax style auto results . Do you have a place I can demo how it works on fields? maybe I don’t have it set up correctly.
I really need the facets to be displayed in manner that’s more similar to this: https://facetwp.com/demo/cars/
If I have hundreds of values within a custom field, the advanced search widget, at least from what I’ve seen, does not handle them very elegantly.
Am I missing something or do you know if there’s a way to get the custom fields on all post types within geodir to show up as custom fields in other search plugins?
Thanks
Just thought of something else too.
Regardless of what approach I use, I also need to display the list of countries that belong to the global region on the results page.
For example:
Asia (global region)Display:
all custom post types in Asia
All countries in this regionIs there any hook that would allow me access to the add/edit location options and tag countries with a specific region (pulled from either a tag or a custom field)?
Doing this in the DB would be the most ideal in the case of hundreds of thousands of countries but I’m not sure what that would do to the rest of Geodir.
Let me know and thanks a mill for your ideas.
The problem with this approach is that the filter url is not seo friendly at all. Is there a way to solve that? Also, can we add meta descriptions to these pages?
How about this:
is there a way to use this same custom field on multiple custom post types in geodirectory? Meaning, they all just share the same field. This way when someone searches across all types, using that field, everything on the site would show up on a page. Like a wp tag.
I would just use tags and then create a global tag bank using something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/mu-global-terms/
However, I need to require that this region option is selected on every custom post type in geodir and neither tags nor categories allow this (categories are required but if you have more than one, it defeats the purpose since you are only required to select one and can ignore the one I want to require).
Ok, I tried this. Now I need a way to put it in a menu. So I’d have a blank menu item called “regions” as the top menu and all the sub menu items would be the actual regions (aka custom required fields) that when clicked, will list all the geodirectory post types that have that field in the profile.
How would I go about this?
Thanks for all your help.
What’s the status on the docs? If you opened this up to third party devs, it could save you a ton of time and work (I.E booking system etc). However, without the proper docs, we have to spend hours trying to figure everything out and while a skype chat is a nice gesture, it’s probably a drain on your time even more.
Any idea as to a release date?
