    Hello all

    Have just installed GD to my Community page.

    Currently using Genesis, with eleven40 Pro theme and use Calendarize as a main plugin (http://calendarize.it/)

    Installed GD with dummy data.

    I don’t want GD as my Home page I want the directory as a Page to link too from a heading on my secondary menu.

    With GD active my Calendarize ‘calendar’ disappears from my Home page (Primary Sidebar) and I can’t get the GD Map to show on the ‘places’ page.

    Any pointers would be handy.

    So are we supposed to just add widgets to a new Page?

    Create a page as you normally would, and then go to
    wp admin > settings > reading > and choose a page for your home.

    Then go to GD > design > home > and untick Set Geodirectory as your home.

    Just FYI, once you do what Guust suggested, your directory home will be found here: http://newlandscentre.org.uk/wordpress/location/

    To compse it just add widgets to GD Home widgets areas.

    You can change the location permalink in GD >> Permalinks.

    Thanks

    Hello all

    Many thanks for the help so far.

    Page – have that sorted now.

    Map – have that sorted too, though need to work out how to make the category bar above the Map look neater.

    Plugin – I still have the issue that as soon as I enable GD the Events Calendar (by Calendarize) in my Primary Sidebar disappears.

    Will have another fiddle today – I have deleted and then reinstalled GD so need to set it up as per your instructions again.

    Back again

    I asked the team at Calendarize it to have a look at the problem – to recap as soon as I enable GeoDirectory the Calendar portion of Calendarize disappears and just as quickly reappears if I disable GeoDirectory.

    Calendarize believe there is a Java error in GD causing the problem – hopefully the following makes sense to you 🙂

    The GeoDirectory plugin causes a javascript error:
    Uncaught TypeError: $(…).flexslider is not a function

    We disabled calendarize it and the error was still there.

    HI joe,

    GD uses flexslider, but our scripts are using jQuery prefix, not $ so it must be another plugin.

    Please provide wp admin credentials and we will have a look.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the info.

    It seems like activating GD removes flexslider.js, but after that the Genesis Slider which uses Flexslider too, isn’t able to use the script added by GD.

    I need to ask to Stiofan why this is happening.

    We will update you asap.

    Thanks

    Many thanks – hoping you can work this out.

    I can live without Genesis Slider if I can have GeoDirectory + Calendarize it working.

    Hi Joe,

    Please check now, i added a little code snippet to your child theme functions file, the problem was GD removed the standard flexslider script but was not adding it back on the homepage, i have set it to call the GD flexslider script on the homepage also.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Many thanks.

    Great service – I will make a start on our Directory Page (using the instructions supplied earlier in this thread) over the weekend.
