Hi,

We have the following question in view of configuring new free and paid listings. First we found out that it is not possible to deactivate Listing Description* – we would like that our free subscribers do not have the possibilty to have this field available because we want them to write a description on the free package. This is also for Keywords – we just want to show our customers the possibility to add keywords when they are premium. It would be also OK if we totally not use it and add instead a new text field.

Regarding Photos: We would like that free customers can only upload 1 Picture and Premium Customers can add unlimited pictures – can you please tell where to change this?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

Regarding the photos, you set this in the Prices and Payment settings: look for “Image limit” in the relevant price setting.

I’ll ask Vikas regarding your first question.

PSI, just got word back from Vikas. This is not possible for the moment, but if there are enough other users interested, it could be implemented in the future.

Hi Guust,

Thanks for your reply. This would be at this time a show stopper for us. We have a lot of experience with Portals and it is very important for us that these fields are not available for free customers to have a good difference in view of service difference.

Some ideas: Is it possible to change that the description field is not mandatory (you can also provide us code changes we can implement on our own) Then we can fade this field out for our customers and use instead a text field for premium customers.

Is it possible to limit keywords for free subscribers?

It is important that we can have a clear difference in view of service between free and paid customers. I think this will also be appriciated from other GD customers.

Cheers

+1 for the fields to be restricted for free and premium listings.

Can you please tell me where the check will be done that description field is mandatory in the code? What happens if this will be set to not mandatory?

Thanks guys!

Hi,
U can set the description field as not required but for that u have to make change in code right now.

Plz go to your geodirectory Core folder > geodirectory_template_actions.php
line no . 796
It should say
```
<div class="required_field geodir_form_row clearfix"
```
plz remove ‘required_field’ from class list for this description div.

Thanks.
