How to make some listing content un-editable for listing claimers

Hello,

If the field is “For Admin use only?” (aka Admin Only) then the end user or listing owner cannot edit it (unless you make them an admin).

You can set a default value for the field using the custom fields settings.
There is built in support for updates via CSV Import/Export.

That content can also be added via Widget, or through an alteration of the template. In some cases it might be shown conditionally, for example only if the listing is not yet claimed.

For custom solutions, anything is possible but you will need to contact a developer. One thing a developer might do is build you an APP to update listings via the API.

Changing the template around to achieve something like this will be easier with V2. Have you already tested it?

The field needs more values in “Show in what locations”, like, maybe “More info tab”?

It will require a customization to append it to the description field contained in the profile tab, but that will be easier in V2.

GeoDirectory does not strip HTML on HTML fields. I did look at the test HTML, and if it is the content below the shortcode, there does not appear to be any other shortcodes in the content, so shortcodes would not need to be enabled on the field.

I tried testing with a test user ‘alexrouted’ but I could not add a listing, as I was redirected to the profile each time I tried.

You can try deactivating non-GD plugins and themes to identify which plugin or theme is stripping the html tags out of the content. Because it is limited to subscriber role that probably means the function is related to a plugin or theme feature that uses roles.

Hello,

You can look through the forum to find examples of that kind of customization, or contact an expert here: https://geodirectoryexperts.com We don’t perform customizations here in the forum.

For GDV2, if you get a chance, even with a quick look at a test site and the new tabs interface for the detail page, or the templates for archive and archive items, they will give you very precise control of how your fields are presented.

Basically the new tabs interface allows you to drag and drop your way to the exact presentation you want to make.

All that said, you can try disabling non-GD plugins to try to find which one is responsible for stripping the HTML.

You could also try adding the content as a text widget, and place the widget in the GD Detail Bottom widget area.
