Hi there,

Thanks a lot and please never mind, I’ve already found it.

Hi,

I am considering to use this theme for one of my side projects, I have some questions since I can’t use the demo site. I am planning to use this for professional services (consultants, advisory, etc.) directory for my regional areas (country). I think this theme will be a great one. Here they are:

1. Monetization – Can I combine subscription mode (quarter, semester, annual) with pay per post/listing at the same time? Some may prefer subscription but I still want to accept pay per post as well.

2. What kind of banner/ads that I can use and sell using this theme?

3. We like the visual part of this theme, my concern is with the quality of images the user may upload to their profile and/or their listing. Can we have control over this matter? To make sure the quality of images used.

4. Once it is go live, can we edit the category? Should we want to improve the taxonomy (not change it completely, only some refinement – edit/typo, delete unused category). One that we used before, not yours obviously, we cannot edit it whatsoever after we launched it.

5. Control over post/listing posted by user (to control the quality of the listings) and control over user profile too.

I try not to change the coding of this theme and will use whatever available on this theme which I have been monitoring quite some time is superb.

Any inputs/tips from other users (purchased one obviously) will very much appreciated!

Thanks

Hello drazzi,

You can test our demo. there is a test demo site for front-end.

1. It basically works for the payment options. I think it’s little different. please have a look at pmp plugin and see if it allows. we use pmp plugin and added our options (amount of posts, days, price)

2. Anything you can make with visual composer on pages (except a few fixed template pages)

3. there is an option to review before it posted. then you can check the quality of images.

4. The categories have each unique ids. you can change names or descriptions. it’s like wordpress category (taxonomy)

5. Yes you (admin) can handle users posts and profiles. you can also use a plugin (user switch) to handle them.

There is a test demo. please try some and you will figure it out more.

I hope it helps.

Thank you,

Thanks for your fast response Rob. Appreciated it very much.

Anyway can you give me ideas on how to use this theme for the following scenario: I want each user to have the listing as an institution but I also want to have their specific product/services as a listing it self. >> It’s like a professional photographer profile as one listing and I also want his/her service packages (business/wedding etc.) as individual listing of its own.

I know I can use categories/taxonomy to solve this, I am just thinking maybe based on your portfolio it can be solved in other ways. My concerns is that the listing of providers will be mixed with the services in the search results and it may not fare well with users. My preference is to separate between the two.

Atm am still digging other things that this theme can offer. So far it’s a great candidate. Well done.

Thanks a lot.

Hello drazzi,

I am not sure what kind of products will be added. if it can be added by simple html code or images, it’s possible. if it needs to be “buy”, you need the 3rd part plugins.

I can’t really say it’s possible unless I totally understand your project. however it seems to be possible with tags (we named keywords). it’s also one of taxonomies to be sorted and searched.

I recommend you to test on our test demo site. it’s the best way you to figure it out.

I hope it helps you to understand better.

Thank you and happy weekend,

Hello again, any known issues with cloudflare, SEO by YOAST, W3 total cache or other plugins ?

Hello photoaixmars,

Yoast seo works fine. we have not tested others.

We don’t have the option for hiding default fields. if you know css, you simply hide.

Do you mean maps for only one category? not for maps but we have item list pages for specific categories and locations. you can find them on our demo 1.

We don’t have membership for categories.

Thank you,
Robjavo directory support information

is “membership for categories” is the function ou think interesting for your users (and you can imagine it in a roadmpa) or it’s a too deep change ?

Hello again,

Do you mean membership for some specific categories? we don’t have this option yet. yes it’s little deep part to work on and it takes time.

Thank you,
Rob

Hi,

I want to build a listing web site for cars, real estate etc with specific page listing for each category with custom filters for each main category having different post meta.

1- is possible to add custum fields for each category.

2- is possible to build custom filters including custum fields for each category.

Thanks

Hello AnasShop,

1. It’s not possible to have each categories. 2. it’s not also ready. this is not a simple feature.

Thank you,

Hi,

I am one of the first 100 buyers of Javo. You promised for future releases a new layout of the items. Remember you, I had discovered in the code the ability to activate item in one page instead of tabs …

When do you plan to integrate it ??? It’s getting along here …

Thx

Hello BLUEZMEDIA,

How are you? :)
Yes of course I remember. the one page is my favorite. I might have said we would try to add it. but there is an issue for space (design / placing content). we could not find the best idea. that’s why it has been delayed. if we had a good idea, of course it would be already added. we are working and considering to have more detail pages instead of tabs. we will see what we can do. but not sure if we can make the one page to fit to everybody.

Thank you,

Hello Javo,

i’m interested in you theme. I’m using your demo but i’m trying to figure out, how search is performed.

Let me explain.

I’m using your demo HOME IMAGE 1

I want to use Geo location. So i insert Hotel as keyword and then i press the geolocation icon.

I live in Italy and considering that in your demo there are not hotels in my area i would expect to read a sort of “Nothing found” message.

But this doesn’t happens.

On the left area in Search results page i see my GeoLocation (surrounded by a circle) and on the right all the hotels located in Australia (that what’s your demo includes).

Not very logic.

Always in Search results page in case i use the Search box on the right (above the items), the map is zoomed to display the location of the items.

IF i use the distance SLider on the left i can see my Geolocation but the results on the right are always the same.

COuld you please explain why or is it a bug of your theme?

Actually if this is how it works, IMHO it’s very user unfriendly and misleading.

Thanks for your answer.

Hello longsoul,

I think I already explained you via email or to someone recently. the geolocation is not working with keywords. we are working on that part. it will be showing only the area and filtering works.

Thank you,

Hi, I’m going to buy your theme today, but I wanted to ask you something, I’m going to run a business directory locally, so it must be in Arabic language…

Is it OK with you to translate it? I mean I'm going to dig down into your template's files to find the files that need to change, I don't want to wast a lot of time translating the theme and then I find myself having a complaint about a violation of Copyrights.

Thanks

Hello egysayed,

You can use translate plugins to translate. you can also change files directly. however we don’t recommend for our new version updates. I believe translation files not related with violation of copyrights.

If you want to get the details about licence or copyrights, please contact envato support team. they handle all of money, licence, copyright issues.


Thank you,

Hi, I tried to install your theme and maybe could be ok for me but I would like to import 2000 items to see if works it… it’s the third template than I tried but after 1000 items anyone doesn’t work.

I have “all import plugin” but I need the name of the fields, for example: lat, long, address, author, excerpt, category etc.

Hello marcoatmac,

Have you purchased our theme? I don’t see your purchased tag. If you purchased, please visit our support site and post your issues. our support team will assist you. ( http://javothemes.com/forum/ )

Hi Rob, thank you. I bought 3 themes and no one works. I’ve the try and I would like to try to import my locations before to buy another one. Regards

Hello again
I believe (many items) import also related with your server side (also related with plugin). If you have many items to import, I would suggest you to separate some and add them. most of fields are post-meta (since 2.0) and that works with most of plugins.

Thank you,
Rob

Hi,

We have some pre-sales questions for the latest version of the Javo Directory. It would of great help if we could get answers / inputs to the following:

1. Is it possible to have a menu called “City” as part of the main menu. This will list down (drop down box) cities that a particular service is available for. When a particular city is selected, the “Location” box in the Home Page slider, shows the location only for that city. Is this possible to do, if so, let us know how to go about it. 2. In the Home Page (Crowded) , there are search fields for Keywords, Location, etc. Is it possible to have another search field. Is it possible to add a new filed to Data Base and add it as a search field in the slider. 3. In the detailed page for a listing, is it possible to have a search bar in the menu – like the one given in the link: https://www.zomato.com/TheGlassHouse 4. We want to have a component called “Explore Neighborhood” where we list location names and the no. of listing in that location, is that possible, if so, let us know how to implement it.

Thanks & Regards, Lakshmi

Hello Lakshmisdesk,

1. We have item list template pages which you can display specific category or location.

2. Not yet for custom fields. we have a plan for it. you can only hide them if you don’t want to show. (ex: hide location field)

3. We have been working on primary menu with search form. it may take time.

4. Could you please give me little more details about it?

Thank you,

Why the items list page in the admin is so slow?

This is the only slow page on the site is loading … several times the admin-ajax.php file.

Hello ricardofrdrc, :)

I think it should be from other plugins or issues. we checked and backend is not slow. please deactivate your plugins and check again.

If you still have a problem, please create a support ticket on our support site. ( http://javothemes.com/forum/ ) this is for pre-sale area.

great !

Hi there Another quick question, I’d like to add a top level menu item, called Cafe’s and link it to the Search results page that shoes Cafe’s only, is this possible? Thanks!

Hello jcnick,

We have “item list” template. you can setup to show a specific category and location. you can show “cafe” items. and you can even list cafe (category) in Newyork (location)

Please see this page ( http://javothemes.com/directory/demo1/brooklyn-hotel/ )

Thank you,
Robjavo directory support information

Awesome, thanks Rob! So if we had 3 Categories and each of those had 2 Sub Category, we could have 9 unique URL’s/pages to add unique content to (just an introductory paragraph at the top, briefly talking about that specific Sub Category, or Category)? Thanks for the quick reply!

I believe that it’s possible to do. list items are pages which you can create its own slugs (url). and there is a place to add some content before item listings or after. so you can add some instructions between maps and listings.

I hope it helps.
Rob

Hi there

Awesome theme!

Currently from a Map page (http://javothemes.com/directory/demo2/map-box/), when you click on a category (Cafe), you stay on the same URL and the results are simply filtered.

For SEO purposes, we’d like to change this so that when you click on a category (Cafe), you’re taken to a different URL, showing the filtered results. This would allow us to add Category specific (Cafe) SEO to the Category results page. We would then add different SEO for Restaurant, and it would have it’s own URL etc. This would allow us to add category specific content and SEO for each category.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

Hello jcnick,

This is ajax filter. that’s why it shows like that. I think our developer worked on it. we will see and work it better if it needs more.

Thank you,

So many troubles import demo data for V2.0 : - Demo1,Demo2,Demo3 do not working properly after importation with the last sources files of javo directory

About this http://javothemes.com/forum/knowledgebase/video-how-to-import-demo-data-for-v2-0/

Brainstorm do not appears in the sidebar.

I really need that works.

Thank you for your support

Ok thank you i fixed the data import, but the problem of post an item, post an review still exists since the old version :member/admin/my-item-list was not found on this server.

Please see what Mike wrote on your ticket. your server doesn’t allow to rewrite .htaccess file (it mostly allow). you need to copy and paste the code via FTP or provide him a temporary FTP access.
