Hi there,

I made some customizations of the listing page. However they don’t show up in the listing preview page (the one an user see when they register).

The problem is that my code take the ID of the page and not of the previewed listing.

So my question is: how can I get the ID of the previewed listing when I’m in the preview listing page? I believe is the value called pid.

Thanks a lot,

Simone

Hi again,

I solved the issue using the function geodir_action_geodir_set_preview_post

Thanks,

Simone

Hi Kor,

sorry to open this again. I’m using this code to get the previewed listing ID, but it works only if the listing is already been saved.

If I preview a new listing it doesn’t work
```
global $post, $preview;
    
    if ($preview) {
        /**
         * Called on the details page if the page is being previewed.
         *
         * This sets the value of <code>$post</code> to the preview values before the main content is called.
         *
         * @since 1.1.0
         */
        do_action('geodir_action_geodir_set_preview_post'); // set the $post to the preview values
        if (defined( 'GD_TESTING_MODE' )) {
            global $post;
        }
        
        $postid = $post->pid;

    } else {
        $postid = $post->ID;
    }
```
What am I missing?

I have flagged your question for the developers to see if they can point you in the right direction.

Hi,

It would be great if you show us the full code so that we can get more idea about what you are trying to do and what is the issue. Actually, the post ID will generate on saving the post only and not on a preview.

If possible provide Admin and FTP details in private reply and let us know the file and the function you are implementing the code.

Regards,
Patrik

Hello Simone,

I looked your code and have used
```
$cover_photo = geodir_get_post_meta( $postid, 'geodir_foto_copertina', true);
$logo = geodir_get_post_meta( $postid, 'geodir_logo_scheda', true);
```
to retrieve field value. This will not work on preview of new listings, because new listing data only saved after listing is saved.

You should use like
```
$cover_photo = isset( $post->geodir_foto_copertina ) ? $post->geodir_foto_copertina : '';
$logo = isset( $post->geodir_logo_scheda) ? $post->geodir_logo_scheda: '';
```
