    H!

    Before we purchased GD we asked if it could do this and you said “Yes, and more!”. Here’s what I asked:

    I need a directory/locator for a cancer treatment webstie. It needs to be able to do 2 things.

    1. have a page of search by location. This page also needs to have a link to VIEW ALL LOCATIONS. Like this page: http://compassoncology.com/locations-physicians/ (just the location search part)

    2. have a page of search by provider. This pages needs to search all providers by zip code, name and speciality. It needs to also have a link to VIEW ALL PROVIDERS like this page (just the provider search part) http://compassoncology.com/locations-physicians/

    The provider search results needs to be similar to this: http://compassoncology.com/physicians/

    Can you guide me on how I can set this up?

    Also, I do not want anyone adding listings on the public side. When I went to add a menu item I could only choose GD Home Page. I don’t see how to add 2 different menu items.

    Your help will be greatly appreciated 😉

    Thanks!

    Hi Kim,

    I’ll try to answer your questions accordingly.

    #1 If you’re referring to the links on the sidebar, that can be created using the menu widget and can be applied on the sidebar.

    #2 You can create a custom Search Page by using the https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#search

    It would be better if you could share your Website URL and some screenshots so that we could better guide you through. Also, try to make use of the “CPT” addon that would allow you to create a listing specifically for the physicians. https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/custom-post-types/ . Well, let us know how it goes

    Thanks!

    OK, I’m finally digging in and getting NO WHERE. As I originally stated, this is what I need:

    1. have a page for search by location. It needs to be able to search by Specialty (doctors) and Zip code – period. This page also needs to have a link to VIEW ALL LOCATIONS which I can do with a side menu. This is the example I gave: http://compassoncology.com/locations-physicians/ (just the location search part)

    2. have a page of search by provider. This page needs to Have a search filed for Physician Name, Specialty & Zip code. Also, how do I customize the search page. I do not what a listing of locations or physicians on the main search page. I need to remove REVIEWS, FAVORITE, PINPOINT. How do I do that?

    I’ve installed the custom posts – great!
    I’ve installed the advanced search – NOT doing what I need though

    I set up a page called Locations and added the shortcode for the advanced search as suggested. BUT this looks NOTHING like what I need. http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=

    Please help guide me on how to customize this page as per the example. I do NOT want the side column with My Dashboard, or Latest Places. Nor do I want the elevator map thing. I also do NOT want the gray bar with POPULAR CATEGORIES – how do I remove that? Ditto for removing Attractions & Feature. So how do I turn all this off? OR where do I edit this page?

    And how do I have the custom search to Show search by Zip, Specialty, Etc?

    Thanks for your help!!!

    Hello,

    It looks like you figured out the other parts were widgets and removed them..

    You need to set up some CPT (or maybe you have) and then add at least one listing for it to show in the search dropdown, you can also change the default text in the search for and near fields under GD>design>search>SEARCH FORM SETTINGS, maybe you want to change the near text to “City, Zip or street” or similar.

    If you get stuck list one point you are having probelms with and we can help you through it 🙂

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Hi! Yes, I did figure out about the widgets 😉

    But I’m stuck on these points:

    1. Looks like GD has broken my theme on the search page – http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/locations/

    2. On the Search Page – How do I turn off: Reviews, Favorite & Pinpoint? And how do I “style” the Top section? I don’t want the grey background and I need to style the fonts and language. Near should show “ZIP CODE”. I need to be able to search by the doctors specialty – and that needs to be on the CPT Physicians as well as Locations. How do I do this? NONE of our locations will have photos so how do I remove that field?

    3. I’ve set up 3 CPTs and added 1 location – BUT the maps are not showing up on the location I added (Aurora). Don’t know what I’ve screwed up here???

    4. Emails – how do I turn off the email notice when a listing is added? No one but me will be adding listings.

    A couple more things . . .

    On this page: http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/locations/united-states/colorado/aurora/aurora/

    How do I remove REVIEWS and how to I remove the word PROFILE?

    On the address is there a way to diplay it like this:

    1700 S Potomac St
    Aurora, Colorado
    80012

    Thanks!!

    You can use this CSS to hide PROFILE:

    #post_profileTab .gd-tab-list-title {display:none;}

    Or go to GD > Custom Post Types > select the CPT > Advanced Mode tab > and enter 

     

    into the “Profile tab label” field.

    To hide the Address icon and “Address” you can use the following CSS:

    .post_address .geodir-i-location {display: none}

    To change the layout of the address, have a look at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/changing-the-layout-of-addresses/

    OK, I’ll work on the CSS – thanks!

    But can you please look at how the theme is broken on the search page? http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/locations/

    The detail page is fine. http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/locations/united-states/colorado/aurora/aurora/

    1. That is your listings page, not the search page.
    You have added some CSS to that page itself, not sure where, but this is the CSS you got for that page that is “breaking” it:

    .content {float: left;}

    2. Try this CSS to remove favorite and pinpoint on the listings page:

    .geodir-entry-meta {display:none}

    To change “Near” to “ZIP” go to GD > design > search tab > SEARCH FORM DEFAULT TEXT SETTINGS section > Near field default value

    To search by speciality, you need to organise your listings by category or custom fields, and then add that to the advanced search:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#custom
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/search-filters-overview/#filter

    3. It seems you used Location and Locations for your listings. I think that is breaking your installation, because “location” is reserved for your location pages by default, not your Places.
    We will need your admin details in a private reply to look at that.

    4. Add the listings from the backend.

    You had set the categories custom field to inactive, every listing needs a category. I now added a category to the Aurora listing.
    See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/dos-and-donts/

    each listing has to be in at least one category, or your listings will not show on the frontend of your site

    This is your main location page, showing what GD calls locations, ie cities etc:
    http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/location/
    http://rmcc.bwwtest.com/location/united-states/colorado/aurora/

    See also https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/layout/

    Please review.
