Thread: Sorting/filters for region/territory

Sorting/filters for region/territory

I noticed that in the ADD A NEW AD that we can collect additional information such as City, State, etc. Is there a way to display ALL Ads in a specific territory? For example if we were making something similar to Craigslist, we would like to display all ads for a particular city like Los Angeles.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi antgazzo
Although that is a popular idea over at the Ideas Exchange (feel free to vote for it), that has yet to be implemented.
Some customers use the top level categories for the city/region, while others use the multisite capabilities of WordPress to create "regional" sub-sites.
I hope that helps.

but how do you connect the regions classipress with the network?can you?

As was mentioned previously, this is not a feature built into the theme so you would need to make the additional customizations required yourself. AppThemes does not offer customization services, however we do have a certified partners page where you can find developers for hire. If you contact them directly with an outline of your requirements they will be able to provide a quote. Thanks.

but, with http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network I can not create static categories for my site?

You may wish to refer to the "Categories and Tags" section of this WordPress Codex Page. Ultimately we do have existing customers who have used WP Multisite to achieve what you are looking for, however there are no existing tutorials for this which will give you step by step how to set this up. Thanks.

but to create regions, we use this? http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Well you're essentially creating multiple installations of the theme and linking them together which is why we suggest using a WordPress Multisite Setup as it will make things easier to manage. There's of course more involved, but this is something you'd need to implement yourself or hire a developer to do this for you if you like.

but it's possible connect with classipress?

It's possible to use ClassiPress with WordPress multisite, yes.
