Update: 5th June

Hello everyone,

I thought i would post a wee update to let you know what’s been going on and what’s coming next.

Templates:
We have been working on major changes to the way the Core GD handles templates, the aim of this is to allow any theme to be made very compatible with just a few lines of code or even just an extra small plugin if it’s a popular theme. This will let GD use the theme’s own html wrappers and make everything fit nice. This has taken a long time but we are happy with the results, user’s won’t notice much change but developer will be able to move things about pages through hooks and filters etc.

Icons:
We are also adding support for fontawesome most icons have been replaces with these and you can replace any icons with anything u prefer or still use images if you really want.

WPML:
We recently officially became WPML compatable: http://wpml.org/plugin/geodirectory/
We are working on easier ways to translate addons and also working on any core WPML bugs that have been reported.

Events:
Events has had a little overhaul and now has better display of dates in all places even in map popups.

Other addons:
Most addons have had small changes and bug fixes as well as some improvements, these will be release shortly after CORE is released

Future Addons:
We have started several addons which most of them have been put on hold until Core templates are finished and released. We have a import tool that will import places or events from facebook, including location, images and everything, places can also be imported from yelp and we hope to add more after the initial release.

Release times:
We are finished with the core template changes and have tested all addonsd and GeoDirectory Framework (GDF), we will be doing some final bug testing and WPML changes tomorrow and hopefully with releasing new versions either tomorrow or the start of next week.

Thanks for you patience everyone!

Stiofan, Paolo and Vikas
