i don’t see any other plugins for creating widgets on my site.
prob Enfold 2.8.1 has a widget creator.
then you just drop a widget section anywhere on a page and assign it. this is why i think for GD all in one widget. then we could use multiple instances of the same widget but with different settings as required by their respective pages

In enfold, i have several page/post layout templates for various sections of the site. Some pages/posts have different sidebars, footers, or are full width, etc. I’ll load the appropriate template after creating a new page/post. If i need to customize the layout for a specific post, i’ll save as new version of that particular template.
The Main pages mostly contain shortcode and/or widgets that pull content from different custom post types or taxonomies.
But I think you’re right, single post needs global template. But should only be

So if i wanted to use one of Enfold’s Masonry section, I can just choose the ‘GD placecategory’ to filter from. which is great.

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).

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.

I think where short codes come in handy, is using features like Enfold’s Accordion section. Since it doesn’t have option to choose post type (like Masonry). Then I could place shortcode for user favorites.

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.

I’m new to GD too. So I may be missing some of these things. I’m on the verge of buying it, but right now, I don’t see the features on the demo site, in the plugin. and I can’t switch themes at this point.

sounds like shortcodes for GD haven’t been created yet, correct?
GD shortcodes would be good to have so we can create custom layouts for listings pages
