    Smile Narrow Search Scope by Location

    It would be nice if WordPress had pivot tables like craigslist so you could narrow down your search scope by location. This is a limitation of WordPress not ClassiPress.

    Ever on the lookout for possible solutions to this issue, I recently came across another classifieds theme that had incorporated a rather interesting workaround. The locations (regions, countries, cities, states) are good old WordPress pages. That is, the subject theme makes use of pages as location categories that can be browsed like ordinary WordPress categories. You add locations by creating a page with the location name. Sub-locations are added as sub-pages. The end result is a classifieds theme that allows users to narrow search scope by location similar to the way craigslist functions.

    I don't know if it is just me, but I would be very interested in seeing location filtering incorporated into a future release of ClassiPress and the method encountered seems to be a rather simple way of accomplishing this.

    Hi Marshall, your not alone. I believe it will be forthcoming in the very near future.
