How do you add that? Can it be added to the sidebar?

to add it in your sidebar, or wherever you want, you can insert this shortcode



[geodir_location_tab_switcher autoredirect="1"]



in a text widget

						Is there a way to just show the city using the shortcode?

						I believe you can use this in your template




$current_location = geodir_get_current_location();
echo $current_location ;


and it will show only the city, but this needs to be inserted inside a function or in the child theme

						or create a shortcode and use it anywhere by adding this in your active theme functions.php





// Add Shortcode
function gd_curr_loc_shortcode() {

	// get the location
	$current_location = geodir_get_current_location();
	// return the location
return $current_location ;

}
add_shortcode( 'gd_curr_location', 'gd_currlocation_shortcode' );


than use shortcode [gd_curr_location].


Haven’t tested so use with care…


Thx

						Added the code to my child theme’s function.php file then added the shortcode to my sidebar widget and it just displays “[gd_curr_location]” in the sidebar.

						you need to make your widgets shortcode ready. In wordpress shortcode are ment to be used in content area of posts and pages.


Add this to your functions.php 


add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

						Still get the shortcode displaying as text on the page. Here’s what I added to my functions.php file:


add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);


// Apply filter

add_filter(‘body_class’, ‘gd_body_classes’);


function gd_body_classes($classes) {

        if (geodir_is_geodir_page()) { $classes[] = ‘this_is_a_gd_page’;

        return $classes;}

}


// Add Shortcode

function gd_curr_loc_shortcode() {


	// get the location

	$current_location = geodir_get_current_location();

	// return the location

return $current_location ;


}

add_shortcode( ‘gd_curr_location’, ‘gd_currlocation_shortcode’ );

						There was an error in the code provided and actually there was a much easier way to do it:


add_shortcode( 'gd_curr_location', 'geodir_get_current_location' );


Than use [gd_curr_location] to call the shortcode.


However this will only show the location once a location has been set and without the Location Switcher you will never be able to set one…


Once you add the location switcher allowing users to set a location, that text widget will show the location name…


Thx
