Thread: permalinks

permalinks

Hi. I like to buy classipress but I need to know if is possible to set permalinks like this

1 - mysite.com/cityname this must display all ads posted in this city

2 - mysite.com/cityname/listingtitle this must display ad

3 - I need site desired just to one thing so I would need disable categories completely and have locations system only.

4 - when posting new ad I would need three levels of locations all as dropdown menus

State (England, Scotland, Wales)
County (about 50 counties)
City (about 4000 uk cities)

Is all of this possible with classipress please ?

The default permalinks structure is not as you describe and is more like the following (with the custom post type included in the URL): Although you can set different Ad category base URL information as seen on the ClassiPress admin demo. Unless you actually created the locations as categories, the theme will not manage them as you describe. Ultimately it would require customization on your part if you're looking for what you describe. AppThemes doesn't offer customization services, however we do have a certified partners page where you can find developers for hire who are experienced at working with our themes. Thanks.

categories as locations

Ok. Thank you. If I use categories as locations can I get those links then ? When cityname will be actually deepest category.

1 - mysite.com/cityname this must display all ads posted in this city

2 - mysite.com/cityname/listingtitle this must display ad


State (England, Scotland, Wales)
County (about 50 counties)
City (about 4000 uk cities)

importing

Would it be possible to import city names from text files to categories then please ?

The links will still have the "ad" part of the URL (but using the categories as locations will be closer to what you have described). To have it appear exactly as you have described would involve customization on your part as you'd need to deal with the custom post type aspect of the URL. Importing on this scale would likely require knowledge of mysql admin as whilst there's an importing tool for ads, there isn't for categories alone. Thanks.
