    HI Guys
    few years since I did this.
    When uploading a csv formatted into the template
    1. if I have long and latt will it automatically place the pin right
    2 for the listing image, my scraper gets the url for the google image will it insert it?
    3. For listings I want to put in a default image for non claimed listings that don’t have images how can I do that/

    Great plugin guys, the sky is the limit!

    Hello,

    thanks for writing in with your topic.

    1. if I have long and latt will it automatically place the pin right

    Yes, but the CSV must contain all the required address details, too: 1. if I have long and latt will it automatically place the pin right

    2 for the listing image, my scraper gets the url for the google image will it insert it?

    If these are new listings, you just need the file name in the CSV, then the script will tell you where to upload the images via FTP.

    3. For listings I want to put in a default image for non claimed listings that don’t have images how can I do that/

    For a default image for all listings without image, the setting is at Design – Listings – default no image.

    For a CPT default image, visit the advanced options in Custom Post Types.

    For a category default image, visit the category and select a default category image.

    There is not a setting for a default image for unclaimed listings, just listings without an image using the options above.

    FYI in GDv2 (beta is out) We can auto fill some missing fields like lat/long or some address fields. Also you for images you could just enter a full url and it would import it.
    ( This is only for GDv2 not GDv1, i am just letting u know it will be changing soon )

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    HI Stiofan
    Great that would be a huge time saver.

    I wonder if I should be using the beta on my test directory before I have to go geolocate all these addresses I’ve scraped, and download all the images.

    How close is roll out? Do you need another beta tester?

    You can find the info and download here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/geodirectory-v2-first-beta-release/

    Just not its limited to core GD, hopefully core will be out of beta this week and locations manager in beta this week or early next.
