I see the options the GeoDirectory panel, but

I’m using a StudioPress Genesis theme.

The geodirectory map is outside of the ‘site-inner’ wrapper.

This is incredibly sophisticated software, but the recent change (removing the compatibility addon) broke my layout, and I don’t see clear instructions anywhere on what to do to fix it.

Mostly, I’ve just been winging it since setting it up, and that’s worked out well. (did I say how wonderfully sophisticated it is?)

Many things aren’t self-evident, even for someone who uses WordPress every day and has built more than 100 sites.

Is there a walk-thru, an explanation of stuff somewhere? I don’t even see clear descriptions of what the various addons do, just tech notes.

Also, I suggest retired addons be separated from the ‘active’ ones in the downloads section.

Excellent post cdgweb – plus one here on all the above

Documentation is an absolute must along with ensuring that a release doesen’t wipe out layouts.

Hi for Genesis, we made it’s top section wide so you can have full width maps, if you want to convert it back to being in the wrapper please use this code in ur child theme functions.php file:
```
add_action( 'geodir_home_before_main_content', 'geodir_action_geodir_sidebar_home_top', 10 );
	add_action( 'geodir_location_before_main_content', 'geodir_action_geodir_sidebar_home_top', 10 );
	add_action( 'geodir_author_before_main_content', 'geodir_action_geodir_sidebar_author_top', 10 );
	add_action( 'geodir_search_before_main_content', 'geodir_action_geodir_sidebar_search_top', 10 );
	add_action( 'geodir_detail_before_main_content', 'geodir_action_geodir_sidebar_detail_top', 10 );
	add_action( 'geodir_listings_before_main_content', 'geodir_action_geodir_sidebar_listings_top', 10 );

remove_action('genesis_after_header','gd_genesis_compat_add_top_section_back',5);
```
Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks,

Thanks, for this particular site, (using StudioPress’ ‘Going Green’ theme) outside the inner just wasn’t gonna work. So the hooks were just the thing.

Is there a place where I might have been able to find that code?

I’m still looking for a walk-thru and a list of what the premium plugins do.

Hi Cdgweb,

We are still writing developer docuementation, howeveryou can have a look at this tutorial John created to understand how to work with the template actions:

Thanks

I realized that still doesn’t solve my problem. It removed the map from after the header, but I can’t get it to show up otherwise. What function should I be hooking into ‘genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap’ ??

Y’all really need an explanation on how to use the new-improved (supposedly) built-in theme compatibility.

Lots of options — what do I do with them?

I see an option to import or export a compatibility pack, it’s asking for code…

If you don’t have time to do the documentation, at least do walk through videos. The point of buying a premium plugin was so that I wouldn’t be spending a bunch of time diddling around trying to figure stuff out.

I understand the time requirements of creating documentation, I really do, but

Hi, Can you explain exactly what you want it to be like and we can help better. Also if you provide wp-admin via private reply then we can try and set it up for you the way you want it.

Thanks,

Stiofan
