You’re right Stiofan, it’s better to use the GeoDirectory feature rather than a third-party plugin for this type of use. But I did not understand the code that you copied me is not integrated with GeoDirectory? Should I add it in functions.php?

Today the stats are undeniable: the biggest sources of spam are E-MAILS & PHONES NUMBER. Would it be possible to also protect the custom field related to the phone?

Moreover, there are now 3 types of protection for these 2 sensitive datas (email & phone):

1) JS Rot13 – The SAFEST method using a rot13 method in JavaScript.
2) JS Escape – Pretty safe method using JavaScipt’s escape function
3) Html Encode – Not recommended, equal to antispambot() function of WordPress

Any chance one day that GeoDirectory v2 users can protect this data with option 1 or 2?

It should not be forgotten that directories are the major target of scraper robots. For example in France the largest national directories obviously protect all these 2 data.

Ok I understood.

In this case, if GeoDirectory takes into consideration the correct timezone offset from UTC (not including daylight savings time set in WordPress settings), why does it still display +2 in the opening hours settings, when I create a new listing? I have to manually correct +1 every time.

Thanks.

Thanks Stiofan,

But I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean about UTC/DST 🙁

The only thing I can tell you is that currently in ALL France we are in summer hours (+2 compared to UTC). And the business hours feature does not work properly, despite the fact that there are +2 in its settings, as shown on my screenshot.

I find it surprising that with all GeoDirectory add-ons (eg GD Custom Post Types or GD Pricing Manager), there is not one that offers the functionality to consider the CPT “product”.

Even more surprising, I’m not the only one to ask for this feature in recent years for GD. Is a plugin planned in the future?

And you did not answer my question above, about a possible development of this feature by developer Vikas, creator of GeoMarketplace.
I have an appointment with him on Monday morning to discuss this and this can lead to a development to make “GD Advanced Search” compatible with the CPT “product” of WooCommerce.

What do you think ? Thank you…

I did not see that this post was in solved status. This topic can be stay close. I create a new topic here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/gd-places-wc-products-the-best-way/

In fact basically here my settings:

I use GeoDirectory for places with physical locations (farmers):
CPT: gd_place
Tax1: gd_placecategory
Tax2: gd_place_tags

I use Woocommerce for products:
CPT: product
Tax1: product_cat
Tax2: product_tag

I use UsersWP for customers (users with role “customer“)
I use WC Marketplace for vendors (users with role “vendor“)

Regarding what I said previously, marketplaces are becoming more and more successful. I think it is important to be able to integrate in the core of GD the ability to manage the CPT “product” (CPT by default WordPress).

If this is not in your projects, I absolutely must know how to configure (GD + all add-ons + WooCommerce + WC Marketplace + GeoMarketplace). Because I intend to use GD for years, I intend to save all my savings and time in this project.

My question is:

CASE 1: Do I have to create my products and categories with the default WC (product) CPT?
Advantage: Multi-compatibility with the core of WooCommerce, as well as any plugin dedicated to WooCommerce.
Disadvantage: GeoDirectory does not want this CPT, and therefore all the powerful features of GD are unavailable. For example, the add-on “Advanced Search Filter” can not search for products, etc.

CASE 2: Or do I have to create my products for sale with the creation of a new CPT managed by GD, for example: “gd_product”?
Advantage: Multi-compatibility with GD core and his add-ons.
Disadvantage: Only recognized and managed by GeoDirectory core, and not recognized by WooCommerce & WC Marketplace

Is there really no solution for these entities to coexist? And I specify in a stable and safe way?

A big thank you to you in advance, it is absolutely necessary that I know this base, so as not to start all over again in the future.

Hello Kiran,

Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately yes you’re right it moves the icon SVG.

But I found a better solution that I share here: you have to specify the size of the .SVG in the file itself!

For example, replace:

<svg version="1.1" id="Capa_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 56.673 56.673" style="enable-background:new 0 0 56.673 56.673;" xml:space="preserve">

by

<svg version="1.1" id="Capa_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" height="45px" width="45px" viewBox="0 0 56.673 56.673" style="enable-background:new 0 0 56.673 56.673;" xml:space="preserve">

Now the icon is placed correctly on the map, and especially Firefox and Internet Explorer DISPLAY the icon. Without specifying the size in the .svg file, the icon did not appear on Firefox for example 😉

Thanks again for your help Kiran, I did not know the CSS code you told me, it could be useful for other things 😉
