Choice of Tags when Users Add a Listing

Hmm…this is kind of tricky..
What if you use a drop down menu as a custom field? (and get rid of the wordpress tags)?

Have a look at this for an idea. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of support for limiting tags, which surprises me, I think it is a good idea.

You’ll have to figure out how to implement it yourself, let us know if you have any luck!

Hello Reena, to remove the tags field go to wp-content/plugins/geodirectory and open the file geodirectory_template_actions.php.

you need to comment this block, from

   <div id="geodir_post_tags_row" class="geodir_form_row clearfix" >
                        <label><?php echo TAGKW_TEXT; ?></label>
                         <input name="post_tags" id="post_tags" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($kw_tags)); ?>" type="text" class="geodir_textfield" maxlength="<?php echo TAGKW_TEXT_COUNT;?>"  />
                         <span class="geodir_message_note"><?php echo TAGKW_MSG;?></span>
                    </div>

to

 <!--  <div id="geodir_post_tags_row" class="geodir_form_row clearfix" >
                        <label><?php echo TAGKW_TEXT; ?></label>
                         <input name="post_tags" id="post_tags" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($kw_tags)); ?>" type="text" class="geodir_textfield" maxlength="<?php echo TAGKW_TEXT_COUNT;?>"  />
                         <span class="geodir_message_note"><?php echo TAGKW_MSG;?></span>
                    </div>-->

(basically adding <! – – before and – – > after)

Side effect:you need to do that each time when a GD update will be released.

Hi, for me it is a good idea to avoid creating too many tags and force user to use only these. Try to integrate the Simple Tags plugin. Ideal solution is that tags are assigned to categories chosen by user, to show different groups in the Add Listing page.

I hope I have understood my bad english :-O

I think, instead of dropdown better this solution:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-tags/
(obviously with non-editable field)

Another way around hiding/removing the “Listing Keywords” from the form was to add some custom CSS.

#geodir_post_tags_row {display:none;}
