How to Make Street Address Optional

hi,

with the following code added to your theme’s functions.php file, you will add css suggested by Gusst’s doc only for CPT = gd_place. Just change CPT name to apply to a different one.

add_action('wp_head','a_cpt_w_no_address');

function a_cpt_w_no_address() {

$output="<style>span[itemprop='streetAddress'],
span[itemprop='addressLocality'],
span[itemprop='postalCode'],
#geodir_post_address_row,
#geodir_post_address_row,
#geodir_post_country_row,
#geodir_post_region_row,
#geodir_post_city_row,
#post_set_address_button,
#geodir_post_zip_row {display:none;}  
</style>";

if ( 'gd_place' == get_post_type() || (isset($_GET['listing_type']) == 'gd_place') ) {echo $output; }

}

You can also disable a tab for a single CPT and I explain how here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/hide-tabs-in-custom-post-type-2/page/2/#post-25090

Let us know how you went.

Thanks

Actually we are considering removing options instead of adding other on top of the existing, because with this many options the core plugin is becoming heavier than we want it and it’s taking us in the opposite path we initially planned.

Most options are useful only for a minority of memebers and once set are never changed, so it’s better to work with code snippets, cutting database queries, improving page loading time.

You can add Billing Address as a custom field and set it to appear nowhere in the front end , so you can only see it from the backend.

Thanks

So, perhaps an “Address Field Customizer” add-on is in order to tackle the various requests and use cases raised in this thread.

I agree with Paolo, the core plugin should stay lean and focused.

A bit like this?

Use this shortcode: [gd_location_switcher]

If you add relevant custom fields to your teacher custom post type, then you can use the advanced search to create a customised search that should make that possible.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to check-in on the status of this and ask for what advice you have on implementing a directory of yoga teachers and their events.

Events will be as per standard Geodirectory Events functionality, but yoga teachers will be only listing their Country, State and City.

Is this now possible or is situation same as above?

If it is possible, what theme do you recommend? Can I use GD Framework theme without maps?

I wanted to use Sky by Cohhe, but you can’t turn off the maps without some custom code…

If I understand your requirements correctly, these are your options out the box, no coding required:

1. Use Places and Events CPT
2. Turn off maps and locations: GD > general > general > Select CPT to disable physical location > pick Events and Places
3. You can now add custom fields called country, state and city, OR
4. Categorize your teachers by creating categories referring to country, state and region.

OR

5. Use Places and Events CPT
6. Tick all boxes to hide the maps at GD > design > map > SHOW / HIDE POST TYPE AND CATEGORY ON MAP
7. This will need some minor styling changes.

You have to understand that a system that uses maps, cannot work unless you have a location on the map. And the simplest way to do that, is using addresses, but without a street address, a map can never show a location.
That is why you either use the system without addresses all together (option 1 above), or if you want to use a customized version, that is option 2.

Building in every possible option for every possible mutation would slow the software down, and make sites too slow.
That is why the GD software is built to cater for 99% of users that use it with addresses, but the system allows customization if you have special requirements.
