    Hi there.

    Just wondering how to set a default category for gd-places so that default category icon type shows on maps?

    i.e. same as you can do in gd-event categories where you can choose the default one if you have several.

    At present it seems to select it alphabetically on my system which isn’t much use 🙁

    Thanks,

    Ian

    Hello,

    if you cannot select a default, that could be because the category is displayed with a “Select”. You will need to switch it to multiselect:

    Hi Alex.

    Thanks for the fast response.

    I probably should have added – its V1.

    Cheers

    Is it set to a “select”?

    Hi Alex.

    Sorry thought that was only for v2.

    Yes its set for multiselect (as seen in image) and have also included shots of the back end and front end listing views of the category selection for you.

    Does this look right? and if so, i cant see how to make one default

    It does work if i use ajax chained but that is slow and looks pretty ugly 🙁

    Thanks.

    Ah yes, I misspoke, GDV1 requires Ajax chained to use multiselect.
    Upgrade to V2 for more choices.

    No problems Alex, thanks for the help as always.

    Thanks, a bit disappointing though 🙁 – works fine for event listing so leaves me wondering why venue listings cant ?

    I would move to v2 but there seems to be too many benefits and features missing that I use in V1 that have not been carried over to v2- such as linking a venue to a listing and being able to auto fill the venue listing details such as location etc when you make/ add a new event.

    Having to manually add the same venue details into each and every event listing a user makes is just way too time consuming and not at all thinking of the end user experience in my opinion…. but i guess we cant be all kept pleased with everything haha…so for now and the foreseeable future…its v1 for me unfortunately, unless they change that.

    Thanks.
