    My Site is https://poi-australia.com.au/ and I’m having an issue where my Tags are not displaying correctly in the sidebar and are getting cut off.

    example page:
    https://poi-australia.com.au/points-of-interest/australia/victoria/blairgowrie/rock-pools-bridgewater-bay-blairgowrie-mornington-peninsula-vic/

    Thanks

    Hello!

    Check the price package “Tag Limit” character count, and raise it if it isn’t working for you.

    GD > Prices and Payments > Choose package > Apply tags limit

    Tags limit is a character limitation, not a limitation on the numbers of tags.

    Let us know if that doesn’t answer your question

    It was always a character limit.

    Its just a bit cumbersome because if you choose to reduce your tag limit or you import listings with tags or you add listings from the back end then it doesn’t prompt you that you have exceeded the limit and instead just cuts the tag in half and produces a link that displays as a 404.

    eg.
    If I added a Tag ‘New York Accommodation’ and then reduced the tag limit to 15 it would display on the detail page as ‘New York Accomm’ and the href would be https://mysite.com/*/*/*/new-york-accomm/ but that doesn’t exist because the actual href is https://mysite.com/*/*/*/new-york-accommodation/

    You make a good point about the import; I will confer with the team and we’ll get back to you about that.

    A question about your setup; will you be continuing with CSV or do you intend to explore the API in future versions of your app?

    We have been using CSV because the data we have is in that format and we have more still to import. If there is an alternative I’m all ears, I’m not super fluent with API’s and app development but I would like to release our website as an app in the future. Has Geodirectory progressed any further with developing an app?

    Hello,

    I don’t think it is an understatement to say that at least a hundred people have used the API to create apps already. We are happy to provide support for API related questions, should you have any, and will be focusing on more API (and app related) development with GD V2. With the API you get more control over creating listings and wouldn’t be subject to the core import logic, which, btw, will be improved in V2.

    During an import CSV can be great, don’t get me wrong, I just wondered if you were planning on syyncing incremental changes as you build up the directory, or if you were looking to maintain a secondary (or primary, other) DB for point data, specifically, and if CSV was part of your long term workflow solution. Might install the API on a dev site and try it out with something like this: https://insomnia.rest/

    Yeah I might wait for GD V2 if that is going to make the process easier as i am a complete rookie when it comes to APIs. Does Geodirectory have any beginner level documentation for setting up an App with API??

    CSV was only intended to initially input a base level of data and I haven’t yet established a means of syncing future incremental changes.

    All the docs are either linked from github or here in the forum as answers to questions, but, if you do give it a go then just write in and we can help with API calls.
