    Hi Mike,

    I understand that, howeever geodirectory wasn’t designed to locate where a place is offering its services, it was designed to locate where a place address is.

    How would you make it appear on the map for exmaple?

    Thx

    I acct4,

    you user registration is disabled, go to WordPress > Settings > General and enable “Anyone can register”

    I’ve checked your site on mobile, and other than few css adjustment it seems to resize correctly.

    Let us know.

    p.s.

    As I said, it would be a good thing if you could open topics instead of keep writing here.

    I’m closing this post for now.

    Thx

    I’m not 100% sure if it will affect your RSS. However, I think it won’t and you can disable it.

    Thx

    Hi Mike,
    the only solution would be to add a listing for both location.

    1 single listing cannot belong to 2 locations.

    Thx

    Hi Briam

    the reason why something like that doesn’t exist is because every theme as a unique design, thus unique templates.

    Create a builder that would work with each and every possible template is not possible…

    THis I think what’s missing is a widget for Listings. One that would have settings to display all, featured, new, popular (you already have), and/or single. With options for 1,2,3,4,5 column grid (like the virtual page for listings).

    Would be a shortcode to display listing archives and it is feasible.


    also, how could I tell GD to inherit the themes style? So that standard theme colors and button styles, etc get applied to GD plugin elements? I would like to use similar buttons and pulldowns across the site.

    THis is not possible, only if the theme author added specific GD style, the plugin can get them from the theme. To change style of the GD plugin elements to look like the theme elements, you need to add some css.

    For example, the GD theme vs the GD plugin. I see the theme, on single post has Tabbed display of Profile, Photo, map, Reviews, and Related. But I dont see where I can do that with the plugin itself. With Shortcodes for each of these items, I could use a Tabbed Viewer. Antoher example is the Category pull down menu on the theme. I don’t see this in the plugin. But if that had a shortcode, I could place it on the page wherever i want.

    The tabs in the place detail page are part of the template and are getting data from the listing info. Here I think we get back to my previous reply…

    Thanks Brian,

    I just wanted to add some irony to the story… 🙂

    As you can see from my 1st reply, I didn’t feel attacked at all. I am not a fan of the location switcher myself as it is right now.

    I’m building my directory too and I think it’s the best way to put myself in our members situation and try to find a compromise that would work for all.

    Current location switcher was inspired by old yellowpages.com. It was only a search autocmpleter like yelp is now (in the search).

    I think that’s the fastest, most user friendly way to switch location.

    No need to switch tab to select a country, a region or a city, just type and select from a dropdown… (maybe showing countries, regions and cities highlighted with different colors)

    The list with a scroll IMHO is not user friendly, especially on mobile if you have a long list of locations.

    On one thing we all agree, today’s option isn’t a good option and we need to improve it…

    Quick question to help us figure out the problem, is only the shop page showing all product in all languages or also the blog or anything else?

    Let us know,

    Thx

    Hi,

    we were able to reduce database calls by a great deal not attaching all images to the place the wordpress way.

    I don’t think we are willing to go back and make the plugin less performant, to allow to use a different slider with it.

    It would makes much more sense to customize the slider plugin (like we did with flexslider) to make it work with GD.

    Thx

    o one “ideal solution” on one site is a nightmare on another.

    HI Stiofan,

    Divi compatibility pack hasn’t been released yet to the members. I will try to do it today.

    With John we didn’t notice the autocompleter issue. I will install a demo with autocompleter installed too, for yuo to have a look.

    Thx

    Hi laurence anthony,

    you are right, shortcodes haven’t been developed yet. The biggest problem we are facing is finding a way that would allow you to do what you want to do.

    Each listing is like a post and all are using the same template.

    How can someone actually customize the template of listings detail page using shortcodes?

    Correct if I am wrong, but all template builders I’ve seen (enfold, avada, x etc) allow you to customize 1 single page/post content via shortcodes. Not the layout of a dynamically created page. With enfold you can customize 1 page or the content of a post, not how each and every post will look like in terms of layout. You can only select from a X number of layout options (templates) for the archive page via shortcodes:

    Like mansonry blog : http://dropct.com/enfold/blog/masonry-blog/
    Or blog single author big: http://dropct.com/enfold/blog/blog-single-author-big/

    But than the single post (that is conceptually like the listing detail page) is always identical no matter the layout you selected for the archive page.

    http://dropct.com/enfold/this-is-a-nice-post/

    Long story short, all plugin/theme I know provide shortcodes for archive pages, widgets and so on, not for single post pages (product page, listing page, single post etc…)

    Can anyone point out a good plugin/theme that via shortcodes allows to customize dynamic templates and not only a single page? A good example woulod be an ecommerce plugin allowing to customize the product page template via shortcodes.

    I did quite an extensive research and I haven’t really found anything that we can take as a good example to follow.

    All major plugin creating dynamic pages like woocommerce, buddypress, bbpress and so on can be customized only by modifying template files.

    Let us know,

    Thank you

    In Appearance >> Widgets. In all map widgets you can enable/disable autozoom and set a default zoom level. This last one will work only if autozoom is disabled.

    You can use geodir_get_images();

    Example of code used to display thumbnails in detail page tab:

    
    
    
    $post_images = geodir_get_images($post->ID,'thumbnail');
    		$thumb_image = '';
    		if(!empty($post_images)){
    			foreach($post_images as $image){
    				$thumb_image .=	'<a href="'.$image->src.'">';
    				$thumb_image .= geodir_show_image($image,'thumbnail',true,false);
    				$thumb_image .= '</a>';
    			}
    		}
    

    and in the tab content:

    echo $thumb_image;

    Hope this helps.

    Thx

    In my opinion it should be the other way around. Only the serarch with autocompleter and no list.
