    Hi,

    I need some advice on creating curated lists of places (restaurants). I have categories which are defined at a high level such as Italian/Chinese/Indian restaurants. I need to create lists of places across categories/locations based on amenities or other factors such as vegetarian restaurants, pet friendly, top 10, restaurants with children play area etc. Any suggestions on how to do this with geodirectory.

    Hello,
    you can create categories (Italian etc) and you can create custom fields for the “features” such as children, pet friendly, etc..
    These fields can be like from different types (multiselect, checkboxes etc…) and, in the frontend, these can be searchable and sortable in the results page.
    For example if you had added a custom select field Pet Friendly you could then filter results that only include pet friendly listings

    Thanks Simone. Can I create a widget like “GD>Popular post category” for custom fields because these curated lists are what I wish to showcase more than categories or tags. If you know if any examples, can you please point me to them.

    So you basically want a list of custom fields and when clicked they will show the listings with that “feature”? You can include the custom fields in the Advanced search, as a link rather than a checkbox, and when clicked it will list the listings with that custom field, I will set my demo site so you can have a look
