international please!

It should already be compatible for people to make translations... (almost?) everything is phrased
If there is anything that is not phrased, let me know

This is a very nice addon!

Hi!! (Thanks for the mod

I have a problem:

1) I have created some categories: A,B,C,D,E (for example)
2) I have created one "business" inside "A" category. Now it shows A(1) (one item inside)
3) I have created another category "LETTERS" and moved A,B,C,D,E inside this new superior category.


Is it normal that category LETTERS shows a (0) items and inside it, on A subcategory shows (1)?

Here is the problem: http://fororunning.com/directory/ on this category http://fororunning.com/directory/comunidad-valenciana-comunitat-valenciana.282

Thanks!

It depends how you have set it up

For the counts, you have the following options in the ACP:

• Include Child Listing Count in Top Level Directory Listing Count (For the Top Level Directory Listing Count also include the child listings)

So, if "Include Child Listing Count in Top Level Directory" is ticked
For categorise: A>A1>A2, where A2 is a subcategory of A1 and A1 is a subcategory of A

If A2 has a listing, then the counts will be:
A(1)>A1(1)>A2(1)

If "Include Child Listing Count in Top Level Directory" is un-ticked, then the counts will be:
A(0)>A1(0)>A2(1)

By the way, if you only have 1 top category, why not set a 1x1 size:
Number of Cols: 1 (The number of columns to display in the directory index page)

Thanks!!

I just donated £45 (thanks for a cool Add On!)

How about a function for my members to pay per listing (keeping free listings - but creating a "premium class' of listings? at the top / bigger of highlighted colour / more photos?)

I have just such a system in WSN VBulletin format - that I need to migrate over..

And people have active listings they have paid me for.. If we have to code it ourselves so be it - but I think it would be a popular functionality.

Thanks again..

 

[tenants]

I can certainly look into it, send me the example site with the "premium class" listings (via PM)
Were exactly would the premium listings go?

 

[Hoolio]

They get colour coded, are a bit larger and float to the top like cream will PM you - many thanks

Could we make all listings self delete after a certain point? I am using this like a craigslist and want all listings to go away after 90 days old. Is that possible?

It's possible to add a cron job for this, with an additional delete option in the ACP
.. It does mean all the reviews for it would get deleted/soft deleted too

I'm not sure how many people would want this, so it would be a custom option for you

You could prefix things: Sold / To Sell / To Buy

Prefixes work in the directory listings

installed. Very good mod. Just two cosmetic things as you can see from this screenshot below

1 - Isn't possible to widen the map so that all the space at the right is filled by the map? It seems like the map is 70% or 80% the space available. I think it's better to have it 100%
2 - On the left you see three custom fields. I've put a "Chiusura, prezzo e cellulare" label since the name of the custom field is not shown. It's not possible to show it?

 

[Hoolio]

... it would be really useful to include thread prefixes in the directory for things such as "location" ...

...It's definitely very high up on my to-do list, I'll start looking at this next week (starting Monday) and should have something by Friday the 8th June (or the weekend just after that).

Did this ever get added?

I need a nearest / "near me" function badly.

I suppose it would have to have a nominated 'where are you now" data box...?

Many thanks - love the add on..

 

[tenants]

Yes, they don't persist once you've selected a prefix and then go to a different part of the directory...

But they do work as prefixes, the same way thread prefixes work. You'll need to add the prefix to the directory forum

Without prefix applied: http://www.surreyforum.co.uk/directory/indian-restaurants.272/
With prefix applied: http://www.surreyforum.co.uk/directory/indian-restaurants.272/?t=egham&prefix_id=262

 

[Hoolio]

Is there a country field?

Thanks

 

[tenants]

There are fields that can be customised

In my case, I use them for:
* Location(s) Covered
* Opening hours

2) Rate Directory listings
10) Image Uploader

Need this!

Ratings for XenKing Directory Request

"...if you can make a plug-in to extend xenKingDir, it won't be an issue ... I approve
I will be taking this plug-in further, but I don't disprove of others adding to it (as long as it's done as a separate plug-in so I can continue updating xenKingDir)"

Can we get this taken care of for Rating companies by end of next week? I am willing to pay you and hopefully others can donate too.

I'm willing to part with a £40 contribution if the rating/scoring feature is implemented. Just saying!

I see you are working on a rating system. Have you considered the above configuration and thought about the ability to rate the products as well as the business?
Thank you for the answers.

"...It would be nice if this addon would have rating functionality and if business owners would be able to claim listings."

rating functionality would be good (I'll get back to this add-on, but the anti-spam / security is taking more priority right now)..."

 

[tenants]

prompted ... I'll look into it. I haven't updated this plugin in a while

The rating images for the resource manager is part of the core, so I should be able to make use of them

One of the issues I have, should the rating comments have a separated tab (like the resources), or should the posts (existing) be considered the comments of the ratings, and people are only allowed to leave a rating if they have 1st replied to the thread?
