We want to change this. See attached. To do that, you are saying we need a “Feature” category? If so, then in our pricing, when we say Yes to Feature when creating a listing, it defaults to the attached marker. We do not want that.
Bottom line: we want to change the ‘featured’ map marker, or use the category default marker for ‘featured’. The one that came with the API (or Geodirectory, I don’t know who created it) does not match our brand.
We’re offering a free and a premium listing. One option for the premium that we are having is allowing the ad to be featured. We want the marker to be different for featured rather than the category marker. In my initial setup of the map, when a listing is featured, it has a different marker. We want to customize that. If it is not possible, then we want the featured marker to go to whatever the default is for the category. If that’s the way it works, then great, if not, we’d rather not have the marker for featured that comes with the map api.
Does that make sense?
So then a featured listing marker will default to whatever category it is when the listing is created? Or will it default to the Maps default marker.
My apologies, I attached the wrong screenshot. To be clear, I want to set a “featured” marker if this is possible?
I understand the process completely, but my question is, is there no way to set a global marker for “featured” like there is for custom post types? In my understanding there are two ways to load markers, one in the listing category and another to set the marker for the post type in the map default settings under “upload default marker”. However, “featured” is not a post type, nor is it a category.
So, when I make a listing in either Places, Events, or one of our two custom post types, I have the Default Map Settings where I can set the default post type and “Upload map default marker icon” for each post type, or I can add one individually to each category. However, “Featured” listings are a listing type, not a post type or a category. I see that the maps have a default marker set for “Featured” and it would be great to set a default, otherwise I will be combing through thousands of listings when I want to switch an listing from “default” to “featured”. I attached the icon screenshot as a sample to my original forum post above, and again to this post.
So again, my question, is there no way to set a default marker for “featured” so that we can stay in line with our brand without hacking the system? If not, it would be a great add to the Geodirectory interface to be able to easily change the “featured” marker. It seems odd to be able to easily make markers for our post types and categories to match the branding on our site, but the “featured” marker remains the one that came with the system.
Unless I am missing something?
Make sense?
Thanks.
