General Suggestions

Hi @stiofan, @paolo and @guust
before all congratulation for GeoDirectory, it run very well.
I open this post because I want comunicate you all the litle feature I think you need review.
It is not a critical post… My objetive only is to comunicate you what I think you need change or improve in order to provide to the users a always better GeoDirectory.

1. In Location Page there is no relation between Home Top Section and Home Content Section.
If I click in “POST TYPE” in the belowe bar into the map of Home Top Section, only will generate changes in the map, but categories and listing in content section will not changed.
I think it is no very very good.
The correct function is for example the following:
I click in EVENT in the belowe bar into the map of Home Top Section => this click must generate the following changes:
a. In the map
b. In the Categories
c. In the Listing
“Guust” contested me about that. He told me that are independent windget and it can`t work just like I want… So with this post I only informe you that I think GeoDirectory team must do somethingh in order improve that (maybe it is impossible… but I want comunicate you that I think it will be bettar work in change that).

2. There is not a map for ZONE. In Geodirectory there is a very good virtual page like:
url/PostType/State
url/PostType/State/Region
url/PostType/State/Region/City
url/PostType/State/Region/City/Neighbourhood
But between Region and City there is no a map…
Now, I will explain because I think it is very important a map between Region and Cities. In the last 10 years activities like concerts, festivals, etc are located out of the centre of city and they are located in the extraurban zone. A lot of time this extraurban zone are not the same city, but they are small cities (independent from the big city). So if I show for example the Barcelona Map, there are not showed for example concerts far from barcelona only one or two km. It is for this reason I think it will be a very good feature allow administrators built ZONE and let at the administrator introduce into this ZONES the cities thay want. For example I want built Barcelona ZONE => In this zone I want introduce Barcelona, Mollet del Valles, Cerdanyola del Valles, etc… So I can show at the user a new page
url/PostType/BarcelonaZone
It is only a suggestion… I hope you are interesting in that. I think It is a good feature.

3. When users search in PLACES page, in the listing section will be showed listings ordered by distance from the city that is been introduced in the search field. It is very good for PLACES and for the oder POST TYPE. But for the events it is no very good because in the EVENTS there is the TIME FACTOR and it is most important that the DISTANCE FACTOR. So when user search events in the X City events will be listed ordered by distance but I think it will be ordered by time. Events listed by distance generate confusion to the users. It is no very good see an event with date in july, and after an event with date in genuary, and after an event with date in may, after an event with date in february, and so on… I think it will be better showed events ordered by date (genuary, february, march… etc… just like in URL/events)

4. Looking into the widget I have found a very good widget named NEAR ME. So if I click in this button user will be redirected to the following page URL/Location/me It is a very good feature. But if I introduced this widget in Places or Events page, why this button don`t redirect users to URL/places/me and URL/events/me ??? Are you thinking to work in that? I think it will be a very good feature.

5. I Location page we can setting Popular Post View located in Home Content Section. But for pages like URL/places and URL/events there is not the WIDGET AREA named LISTING CONTENT SECTION. So administrator can`t set popular post view. Are you working in introduce LISTING CONTENT SECTION, I think it will be a very good feature.

They are only suggestion. I hope you apreciate that…
I hope receive your answer about the five question I have done.
One thing more, thanks for your support.
