    I am trying to setup my listings and categories properly for sorting and where it is user friendly for filling out the listings. I want to make sure as I am setting up this website that the person on the front end doing the “searching” is able to select the different “categories” or specific service they need….. First I set up all the main categories and sub categories under “places” but the problem with this is.. when you are creating a listing I find it VERY VERY confusing to select which category of services you offer with all the drop down menus.. and selecting the main categorize then having to select each sub catagory…. so I looked a doing the check boxes field or the multi select field, and that is SOOOO much easier for the person making the listing. BUT THE BIG PROBLEM is that these don’t show up in the list on my map on my home page where the front end user is searching…. and so the front end user doesn’t know what options are available to “choose from”.

    Please tell me if there is a way to make the check boxes work like the categories do in the map.. where the front end person is seeing the page and can select where they are searching for… OR is there a way to put checkboxes by the category for the person creating the listing instead of using all the drop down menus and sub menus which i find extremely confusing. my website is notarybyzip.com if you would like to look..i have just a few test listings under 70601 zip code.

    or is there a way to add an “advanced search” that will give them a list of all the “check boxes” and zipcode with distance? ( i have some settings for some distance options setup) If there is a way to add an advanced search option can you send me a link to those instructions… either written or youtube.. thx
