geodirectory's Issues

Misconfiguration of our options shouldn't allow errors

If selecting GD Home and Location page as same option in permalinks gives error, we shouldn't allow it.
Please see:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/im-getting-a-404-error-when-i-choose-a-region/#post-401916
Thanks

Check permalinks work from install

Check permalinks work and work from install

Add import/export reviews section

Setup guide

i want a install setup guide when you first install GD, it will walk you through setup

All widgets need to be converted to SD Widgets

Widgets need to work with Super Duper class

Add info to backend place listing screen

add image, tags, fix location column

business hours feature

We will be replacing Jeff's BH plugin.
We need to find a way of storing opening hours so we can search for plcaes that are open in advanced search, lets discuss.

Goals of V2

~~all settings should be stored in the one option not all as separate options, this means we can easily import/export settings~~
i want to remove our templating system and replace all functionality as widgets, so for example the details sidebar will just be a widget so we can use it with any theme without having to add all of our own widget areas
i want a install setup guide when you first install GD, it will walk you through setup
the GD options pages should be more standard WP and should be better planned out, we should have "Basic/Advanced" toggle for all options pages , what giri did with CPT really cut down on support requests for that
~~Remove external tax meta class, move to new WP tax meta.~~
Lets use more post statuses "pending review", "pending payment", "closed down" the last one should not be included in listings or search but the details page should still show.

convert other dummy data sets to new style like places

places dummy data works the other types need to be converted to work the same.

Make sure all settings are implemented

things liek defautl marker icon, make sure they are implemented

Add GD post count to wp-admin user listing screen

Make it one column like:

GD Posts
events(12)
places(9)

Add price range custom field for structured data

Please see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/recent-reviews/#post-397482

Merge Category widgets

Merge the widgets

Feature Idea - show pending review count notification

IDEA: Show a count of pending reviews

Topics
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/comments-wordpress-vs-gd-section/#post-413918

Need to implement default category

Multiselect: sortable tabs http://select2.github.io/select2/ (Select2 Drag and Drop Sorting)
Select/radio: Not needed
Checkboxs: maybe something similar to what yoast does

moved

Merge maps widget into one super duper widget

Make one maps widget, just add a select option for type, they seem to share all the same details anyway.
Think of the widget classes as mini classes, all functions should be class methods, like with the category one it still called functions outside the class that were only ever used by the class.

Review / comment notifications

We need to make sure we send the admin the normal notification and the owner a notification when the review/comment is approved, we need a new setting for this so the user can edit the notification.

Details page not showing review form

also it showing the comment form below, we need a way to prevent this.

Baidu map

Baidu map would fully open GeoDirectory to the Chinese Market. Maybe we can hire just for the lenght of this project, a developer who has either experience with their API or someone fluent in both Chinese and English.

http://api.map.baidu.com/lbsapi/cloud/index.htm

Like this guy: https://gist.github.com/jackyliang/90b8c6cd5fd652b9d56b

Image upload changes

Don't resize images client side with plupload, set resizing to be done on backend and allow it to be overwritten with EWWW_IMAGE_OPTIMIZER_VERSION is defined.
See shanes email ([email protected])

Also allow a way for users to add meta info to images.

Listing details page issues

Go to listing detail page and then on photos tab.

Add WP help tabs

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Screen/add_help_tab

Import export screen suggestions

When uploading the wrong json file it should show a message instead of printing array.

View all links on near me page

should go to search page with near me and category selected.
This is something we should easily also put in v1
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/popular-post-view-widget-view-all-2/

Few suggestions and inputs in GD setup wizard.

Please see following screenshots:

Let me know if you need more details to regenerate any thing.

Check WPML compatibility

Also check new feature
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/compatibility-with-wpml-new-feature/#post-413436

Email preview problems

you cant remove the image once uploaded
the header and footer don't display if there is no footer text or header image
The footer text (and most options) shoudl show as a placeholder but it should show that on the email if nothing entered, this is for translations reasons, like we do with emails

Email content and subject is missing for all emails

GeoDirectory->Emails->Admin emails->enable email for pending listing submitted.
When we submit new listing it sends email to the admin but the subject and body content remains empty. It shows only header and footer in the email body. It should be the default content same as in placeholder shown in the advanced options.

titles should be h2 not h3 in some cases

https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/why-arent-my-post-showing/#post-413960
We need to also make these changes in v1.

Accessibility

see GeoDirectory/geodirectory#424

Add listing item page template

Email notifications

there are a few things to do:
( Note how i have done it just now, the messages are only the place holders, this is so we can change the messages in different versions and the users will only change if the user has made changes to the email message/subject, )

We now only allow new listings to have "publish" or "pending" status so we can add two separate emails for that.
i think we need a new class for emails.
For comments/reviews i think we need to add a setting to allow listing owner to approve reviews, this will enable a new email with links for a listing owner to aprove/reject them almost like stadard email.
We should also add a design section for emails, where a user can enable HTML emails and set a header/footer design for all GD emails.

Any questions or suggestions let me know.

Taxonomy pages problem

Hi Kiran, (tagging Paolo also in case he has any feedback)

My idea of hijacking the first the_post loop and then setting our own one still has the problem that it will output the first item of the loop at the end and there is no easy way to remove it.

My other idea is two parts, we give the option of two views:
#1 We just filter the_content on the archive page and add our own stuff

: Easy, will work with 99% of themes out the box.

: We don't have our option to change the view, grid12345/list, we are stuck with the theme layout which i guess might be a positive for some but we wont have a "standard" GD category layout.

#2 We copy the theme archive.php and store it somewhere and use some regex to replace the loop code with our own which would be wrapped in our wrappers and use our own get_template_part('listing','list');

We can use our own templates and can use our grid/list views

Might not work perfect with all themes.

API intigration

add the api
add enable/disbale option
add keys option like with woo https://ppldb.com/wcdirst/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=api&section=keys&create-key=1

Settings pages changes

We need to make many changes to the settings pages for GD, the main goals are below:

Make it more WP standard looking like WPI, EDD etc.
Make things far more organised and labeled better, (me, paolo and kiran should all discuss this and start by writing it down before implementing it)
We need to simplify things, we need to somehow have a basic/advanced settings, maybe in a different tab or maybe a button that shows hides advanced settings (again lets discuss before implementing)

Allow the listing map to show all

allow this on listings, categories and search.
We will need co change they way we get the markers, jsut now we use json loaded to the page, we will need to change to ajax.

GD Pages

remove GD home, no longer needed
check all pages work
add listing item template

Thanks
