    How could I show subcategories into listing top section like this geotheme site: http://www.babiesandtoddlers.com/group/group-activities/?multi_country=australia

    Also, will be very useful have a widget for show categories and subcategories in home and listing pages. Something like this:

    Not too sure whether this is related, but I can set up sub-sub-sub-categories, see http://goldroo.net/listing/trades/brickies/blockers/lego-blockers/girl-lego-blockers/ but a user can only choose categories for their listing, they cannot drill down to add to a sub-category.
    Can’t figure out how to fix that (I really only want to have custom post types, categories and sub-categories, but tested with sub-sub-sub-categories).
    Using 1.0.1 with GDF 0.0.2

    I have been playing a bit and the only way users can select a subcategory is to set the category-display-type in the custom fields of a post type to “checkbox”.
    Some of the other options allow select a subcategory as well, but then it is restricted to one category only.
    Only “checkbox” allows choosing more than one category, including subcategories.

    Hi,

    Geodirectory supports custom post type and 2 level of categories in it. There are other way too where u can enable n level of cateogories on add new listing page but that will not work with GD system. Like u said u can create sub-sub categories just because wordpress admin allows that but GD system will support only Custom post and and 2 level of categories in it.

    Please advise ?

    Thanks

    Thanks Vikas.
    GD actually seems to support categories as deep as WP allows, but then you cannot use some of the map features and ajax selectors.
    So practically, you indeed can only use custom post type and 2 level of categories in it, which really gives you a 3 deep structure which should be enough.

    Yes, Thanks for understanding how gd is compatible up to 3 level of categories. This will help others too, Really appreciated.

    Yes, but that wasnt the question.

    I did 2 requests:

    1. I´d like have a widget to show subcategories (according to parent category) into listing top section like this geotheme site: http://www.babiesandtoddlers.com/group/group-activities/?multi_country=australia or this directory site: http://templatic.com/demos/directory/listingcategory/realestate/

    ¿Maybe add settings to GD > Popular Post Category widget?

    2. I´d like have a widget for show categories and subcategories. Something like this:

    http://templatic.com/demos/?theme=directory

    or this

    http://uouapps.com/wp/glocal/ (See Browse by Category)

    These are 2 features very commons in Directory sites.

    Hi Amolin, Can you tell me if and how you succeeded in setting up GD like in

    http://templatic.com/demos/?theme=directory

    I’m quite new to GD and like to achieve a similar setup.
