Is there a way to set the place tags (i.e. the geodir_post_tags_row) on adding a listing to be a set of check boxes based on tags already setup?

At the moment the input box is 40 characters of free formate text.

I would like it to show Wales, Scotland, Ireland, England as check boxes for users to select. I have already set these place tag categories up.

Not without a code customization. Not a very simple one.

Thx

or maybe i could use a custom taxonomy field, but taxonomy is missing from the available filed options.

In geodirectory/geodirectory_template_actions.php around line 875 you find
```
add_action( 'geodir_add_listing_form', 'geodir_action_add_listing_form',10);
```
From your theme’s functions.php file you should remove that action.
```
remove_action( 'geodir_add_listing_form', 'geodir_action_add_listing_form',10);
```
Copy the function geodir_action_add_listing_form (it’s right below the add_action in geodirectory/geodirectory_template_actions.php) paste it in your theme’s functions.php file and rename it. Example my_geodir_action_add_listing_form.

Now modify the function to remove the text input field and use a select with your predefined tags instead.

Add a new action in your functions.php calling your new function.
```
add_action( 'geodir_add_listing_form', 'my_geodir_action_add_listing_form',10);
```
Let us know how you went.

Thanks
