TLN

Please see below for my solution so far. Perhaps it will help somebody out.

// executes when a listing is saved
function on_save_listing( $post_id, $post, $update ) {

// get the author id
$author_id=$post->post_author;

$updated = ($update) ? "updated" : "saved";
	
if ($updated=='saved') {
// do what you need to do here
// this will run when a gd_place post is saved
}

}
add_action( 'save_post_gd_place', 'on_save_listing', 10, 3 );

I ended up compensating since I don’t know when the listing is saved for the first time. Instead, i am using the following hook to do some more stuff when the listing is published (which should only happen once in theory).

function on_publish_listing( $post_id, $post ) {

//get author id
$author_id=$post->post_author;

//do some stuff here..

}
add_action( 'publish_gd_place', 'on_publish_listing', 10, 2 );

I was able to fix this by editing the geodir_custom_fields table and changing the value in the tab_parent column to a different fieldset id. Now my Categories field is showing in the backend again, and in the frontend where it’s supposed to. Needless to say, the sorting functionality is very glitchy.

GeoDirectory v2.0.0.55

Yep. This is still an issue. I ended up using a plugin to redirect the page to the right listing form using the listing_type URL variable.

Thanks Paolo. I figured as much, but wasn’t sure. I appreciate your response.

GeoDirectory 2.0.0.53
Directory Starter 2.0.0.5
Supreme Directory 2.0.0.6

Thanks guys. I have it as a separate page, and it still doesn’t work. I tried Kor’s code but it still defaults to gd_place (not gd_special). It ignores the argument.

Thanks.

That makes sense. Thanks Alex. I appreciate the tip.
