EffectIO GeoDirectory Custom Post Types 2.3.4

Description:

GeoDirectory Custom Post Types is an add-on for GeoDirectory that makes it easier to manage a large and diverse directory. It harnesses the full power of WordPress custom post types, also known as CPTs, so you can offer and manage multiple listing categories within a single directory site. Instead of being limited to one general listing type, you can structure your directory around several distinct content types, each with its own categories and settings.

The way it works is straightforward. Every listing you create with GeoDirectory is a custom post. By default, GeoDirectory ships with a single custom post type called Places, which covers all listings on the site. This add-on removes that limitation by letting you create and add as many custom post types as you need. Once you have several post types in place, you can divide your categories across them and manage the features and parameters of each post type separately. That means a listing type for restaurants can behave differently from a listing type for events or services, because each one is configured on its own terms.

Each custom post type comes with its own form builder. This gives you control over what information is collected and displayed for that type of listing. Within a post type you can add any custom fields you need, along with prices, custom categories and tags. Because the form builder is per post type, the fields and options you define for one type do not have to match those of another, so each section of your directory can ask for exactly the details that make sense for it.

The add-on also supports directories that are not tied to physical addresses. You can create listings without a physical location, which makes it possible to build a directory of websites or online services. This extends GeoDirectory beyond location based listings and opens the door to directories focused entirely on online resources. For anyone running a directory that has grown beyond a single Places post type, this add-on provides the tools to split listings into separate post types, each with its own categories, fields and management settings.
