Business title on listing page & drop-down categories

    Hi,

    I have two questions about the listing page and drop-down categories:

    Listing Page

    I tried to figured out how to set a business name as a title (with bigger, bold font size) on the listing index page. I like the single page with big title on top, but do I get the same result on the listing page? Here is an example below:

    Normal listing page layout:
    Business Name: ABC Company
    Phone Number: 1-888-8888
    etc.

    I want the listing page to look like this:
    <h2>ABC Company</h2>
    Phone Number: 1-888-8888
    etc.

    Drop-Down Category

    How do I change the Directory list into drop-down menu – is there any options to do this?

    Thank you!

    Hi christiehawkso,

    The fonts, colors and style of the text can be easily altered using a custom CSS file. Here is an article about how to use custom CSS with Business Directory in a way that doesn’t get overwritten on upgrade of BD: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd-2-1/

    For the title, you can alter that by editing the label of the Business Name field to be a blank string under Directory Admin->Manage Form Fields.

    I’m not sure I get what you’re looking for on the drop-down menu aspect. For a single listing, a user wouldn’t get to choose what category that listing belongs to–only the original poster gets to do that when the submit the listing the first time. Can you explain that a bit more here? I’m kind of confused about what that’s for.

    Yes, I know about the custom CSS but I found a way to add the big title on the listing by go on business-directory-excerpt.tpl.php template and added the php code for title (<?php echo $title; ?>). Also, I was wondering if you have hooks for overwritten templates?

    Sorry for the confusion, I am talking about the categories on main listings page. I have a long list of categories in bullet point and I would like to turn it into drop-down instead – is it possible?

    Thanks again.

    Our full customization guide is here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/customization-guide/

    And the template overrides we document and support are here: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/support-forum/faq/customizing-bd-to-fit-your-theme/

    Those are the best two articles I have on that.

    As for the categories, if you mean the main page of the Business Directory, we don’t currently have a way to make that a drop down. You CAN use Enhanced Categories to make it parent-child navigable, which does cut down on the numbers a bit if you have a reasonable number of parents. You can get that module by signing up for the website email course (it’s on the first day’s links).
