I understand your point of view but if you get many featured listings which is the goal, they don’t stick out anymore as they all look alike. While, if there was an option to respect the alphabetical order you’ll get for example 4 free ones then one feature which will stand out then 2 free ….

There isn’t a way to get around this?

Thanks

Thanks a lot for this!

I will try to have the description not to show on the front end. I Wonder how come I haven’t tried that before. If you don’t hear from me, it will mean it worked ??

Thanks.

It was mentioned in the “manage restrictions” option but I am looking for a solution. How can we manage to make money with our directory if with the free option, people get what they are after, i.e. to put their internet site for customers to copy/paste it and then have all the info they want? And nowadays it is impossible to start a directory without giving a free option.

If you need to have post that has to be mandatory can’t it be made that it is a telephone number or anything else than a field where people can write whatever they want? I never saw that option I must say in any other directory than BD. As it is mandatory I can’t even put a number of characters smaller than an url address as how could I ask people they need to put 3 or 4 characters for example.

We have been on our directory for at least six months (translating it, customizing it, adjusting the upgrades …) and I am starting to be desperate.

Do you have examples of directories made with BD that are successful?

Re the pdf, we add a link to a page where they can download the pdf and it would be great to be able to sent different emails to different fee levels but it is less important that the problem I mentioned above.

You can have a look to our website (the 3 featured listings are friends, the others selected the free option, putting their internet site url whenever they had one). I need a solution before I start a bigger campaign to get listings.

Your assistance in this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am always impressed by the quickness :-).

Re the advanced research, you were so right! My mistake. I had removed the “display in search form” a while ago but forgot to do so again when I added new fields as time had passed between the two sessions!

But for the Quick search, I did see this option in the manage option, general tabs but didn’t figure out how to select more than one field in the list. Is there a special way to do so?

Thanks,

Unfortunately I thought of that but it didn’t change anything. I am considering the size of pictures by pixels i.e. 72, should I consider looking at their width and height instead? I am not too good with handling pictures as you can tell ??

Here it is. It’s a first for me, so hope it works ??

It is the first picture I am concerned about, the one re “Associations”

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for this. I was afraid this would be the situation. I hope I can get a way to let the customer know on the form itself that even if every field is available only the one he paid for will show (maybe by using the field description for warnings like “only valid for Premium subscriptions …) . I am quite sure most will fill out the complete form even if we describe the tarification before hand and will be disappointed by the result.

Thanks again for your prompt reply, it prevented me of looking everywhere for a solution.

I filled the BD survey some days ago, I would add this now as a suggestion: having the forms fields matching the listing level ??

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I gave you the link to the page: https://troublesdapprentissage.com/business-directory/ so you see what the problem was. You will see that the first picture for the category “Associations” is larger than the 3 others (Domaine médical, domaine, thérapeutique, domaine scolaire) while they should respond to the same setting i.e. category settings width and height set in this case at 190 (all four images should be scares therefore but I would be OK if they stay as rectangles as long as they all have the same size.

Am I missing something? Should I change some settings elsewhere that under images – category settings?

Thanks,

Eureka! I found what the bug is: in fact you have to ignore that the upload button doesn’t react to the click, wait a bit, then close the pop-up and the picture is there!

My question is now: how to fix the size of the photos. It is partly responding to the set up. I went to image in manage options, set the size to 190 -190 and if it works for 3 pictures out of 4, it doesn’t work for the first one. Any suggestion?

Thanks!

Thank you so much for such a prompt reply.

Regarding the photos, it concerns the main page of the directory. I am trying to have categories shown as picture, not just as hypertext links.

It works on and off for the 1st pictures of the 4 categories meaning I was able to upload one specific one (Mickey Mouse) but then couldn’t put another one (size 72 px) more suitable. I tried to put Mickey back and did a few tries. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t while following the exact same procedure. That’s the reason why I believe there must be a bug. And I never was able to upload the 3 others photos for the remaining categories.

As for the procedure:

I go to Directory categories – select one of the 4 parent category – select a file (photo) – and try to upload it. The times I succeeded I had to click about 5-6 times on the upload button in order for it to react.

our directory page: https://troublesdapprentissage.com/business-directory/

We would like to have a picture for “Associations”, “Domaine médical”, …

Thanks again,

No translation at all was done that way. The only things I was able to change were the fields. Here is the link to our directory page (the website is still under construction and entries in the directory just tests):

https://troublesdapprentissage.com/business-directory/?action=viewlistings

We will need to change the buttons “submit”, “edit”, “view all listings” ….

We are using WP 4.1 and are updating regularly all our plugins.

Thanks for your help!

I can’t believe how fast you reply. It is much appreciated.

I copy here what my husband did for the translation (I am in charge of the site content, he takes care of the more technical matters ??

“- I get the file WPBDM.pot from wp-content/plugins/business-directory-plugin/languages
– Through the poedit application, I wrote the translations (in French)
– I saved the file as WPDPM.fr_FR.po and the application created the compiled version WPDPM.fr_FR.mo
– I uploaded both files in wp-content/plugins/business-directory-plugin/languages
– I changed the language parameter to French in WordPress dashboard under General Settings. “

We are worried more specifically about the buttons i.e. Submit, view, view listing, edit as for the fields I did translate most of them while preparing the form.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for your reply.

Unfortunately, the translation still doesn’t work even after following all the steps described in the link. Would you know anyone who succeeded in translating BD in French who could give us some advice?

And also, is there a way to customize the presentation of the listing view?

BD is really a great plugin I wish I could use.

PS: and is possible to translate manually the main buttons (i.e. submit, view listings …)

Sorry, I realise now that this option exist as a premium add-on. Therefore, now I would like to know your policy when we buy one.

1) do we get a full refund if the pluggin doesn’t work?
2) can we upgrade later by paying the difference between different options if we only take one or two addons at first? Examples: if we buy just one or two add-ons and decide later we would like the full package for example or if we choose the option for only one site and would like to change to multiple sites?

Otherwise, we can’t seem to make the translation work after following the instructions. Is there a way to change manually the emails messages to send to subscribers (thanks for payment, renewal, …).

And regarding the images, we can’t upload any. After reading the forum, I gather it could be an authorisation issue. If this is so, could you please tell us how to fix this.

Thanks a million,
