    Hi, I am using the core pluging to list beauty products manufacturers.
    Now I am planning to use custom post add-on to publish products, like an online catalogue.

    How can I integrate both?
    What I need is when a user finds a product, to be linked to the place listing of the manufacturer, so she can contact them.

    How can I do that?

    The same with the events add-on.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    custom post type doesn’t allow to create products linked to place listings. It only allows to create new type of listings.

    Only events at the moment can be linked to places or other listings type.

    Thanks

    Thanks,
    And events can be customized in order to look as a product catalogue?

    Also, how many instances of events could I install?

    “Only events at the moment can be linked to places or other listings type.”
    What are other listings types?

    Regards,
    Damian

    I’m not sure Events can be customized for Products. Events revolves around dates.

    You can install only 1 instance of the Events add-on.

    Listing type are a better way to categorize listings if you don’t want to use only places.

    For example you can have a listing type Hotels and another one Restaurants. This will allow you to have separate custom fields and add listing for for both listing types.

    Thanks

    I understand, but regarding listing types, can I link an Hotel with their own Restaurant?
    Thanks again

    I already answered that, only listings from the Events custom post type can be linked to a listing at the moment.

    Not from 2 CPT.

    Thanks

    Hi again,

    you will need to enalbe linking business to events in 1 (or more) event price. (options are at the bottom of the settings page).

    Once enabled, if you add an event from the front end, selecting a price that includes this option, you will see a new select field named “Link Business” at the top of the add listing form.

    Users will be able to select only business that they submitted from that option.

    You can laso link events to business from the back end form.

    Let us know how you went,

    Thanks
