    Hello,

    How can I have a different view for different category. For example, List View for Restaurants, Grid 3 for Hotels, Grid 2 for Attractions, etc. I feel it would give my site more variety instead of just having one view. I plan on hiding the box which allows users to choose the view.

    Thanks,

    Hello, this is not natively possible, if you are confident with PHP, this would be doable with some conditions set in the geodirectory_template_actions.php file

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have PHP basic skills, but any advice on specific lines of code to modify would be greatly appreciated. I feel this is something that would be relatively easy to implement and may users would find useful. Kudos on the great plugin…

    I think you should play with the geodirectory_functions/custom_functions.php file, around row 31 where it says

    <option value="1" <?php if($sel=='1'){echo 'selected="selected"';}?> ><?php _e('View: List',GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN);?></option>

    This could get complicated, for me i would start by writing a function to conrol the session. The views use a session

    $_SESSION['gd_listing_view']

    which can be 1,2,3,4 or 5.

    You could write a function to get the current category and set it as desired.
