Setting Up Two Levels of "Featured"

What if Premium Featured were also designated as Featured?

Just trying to figure out a way to introduce a tertiary level as incentive for upgrade.

PACKAGE
====================
Good – not featured
Better – featured
Best – premium featured

Thanks

Alex,

Thanks. Interesting thought.

Tangenting off that…could this be done simply through the Package field?

So, say there are 4 packages…

1 – Free, non-featured
2 – Paid Bronze level, non-featured
3 – Paid Silver level, featured
4 – Paid Gold level, “premium featured”

Goal being for sort order:
Gold level (randomized)
Silver level (randomized)
Bronze level (randomized)

Would that be doable just using the existing Package field or would a dedicated field, e.g. Besters, be needed?

Thanks

Bummer…circling back to this.

I had been playing with it as a Radio setting and was working. But now, unless I’m missing something, looks like the only way to do this with an admin only radio field of “n-tiers” of featured ordering, is to manually edit it on every listing, upgrade, and downgrade.

What I think is needed would be the ability to:
– designate a field to be “pulled” into the Packages settings
– then the ability to set the value of that field by package

Example:
Create an admin only Radio field of “package_tier” with Option Values of A/0,B/1,C/2,D/3 and check it as a “custom package” setting.

Then within the Packages tab, say you create 4 different packages that you assign the package_tier as:
– Platinum package_tier = D
– Gold package_tier = C
– Silver package_tier = B
– Copper package_tier = A

(Obviously you might want to create additional tiers and set accordingly so that you could easily “slide” a new package in between existing ones.)

This then allows sorting to be preset to favor varying “featured tier” levels:

Random within Platinum
Random within Gold
Random within Silver
Random within Copper

If I’ve missed how to set this up so that it is automated via the package levels, please let me know.

Otherwise, or anyway, I think this ability to designate a field to be a package field with a varying assigned value based on package could be a powerful addition.

Cheers
