Hi,
We need your advice to structure a directory site to accommodate the following:
1. The directory will cover one country with 12 region and 70 main city.
2. The site will include two languages.
3. Events national wide.
4. Search for any listing with branches if found.
5. Search for the related listing national wide or (region – city – certain area).
6. A to Z Glossary (Hierarchical Taxonomy)
7. Displayed A to Z Glossary horizontally with ascending order like:
(ALL-0-9-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) These letters glossary will act like ( index page or tab or bar ) for many trems entry (Custom Post Type) each trem will have a title for its heading and the body text for list description.
8. Setup the main listing index page to the reflect dynamic listing for many category.
9. Chronological steps to setup the tree like GFS (Grandfather – Father – Son) which reflect the main structure for
( country - region - city) .
10- The best way to define correctly the (Hierarchical Taxonomy) from the categories so the directory work smoothly for our scenario especially the CMS between the index listing and all relevant geographical locations.
Please try your best to explain in detail the structure for the above requirements and we wish if you have a detailed case study video to show ALL Toolset functionally and capability with FULL setup to accommodate this requirement in form of video tutorial which we can follow to help us build the site.
Thanks,
Hi,
1) country - region - city
How do you setup the country - region - city?
Is it a custom Hierarchical Taxonomy or parent/child post types?
We have a reference website which is setup by parent/child post types:
hidden link
in section "Search Houses", there are dropdown menu "State" and "City", they are setup as parent/child post types, you can create your own demo site here:
http://discover-wp.com/register/?site_type=713&layouts=yes
You can get more details about the "real-estate" demo site here:
https://toolset.com/reference-site/toolset-real-estate/
2) A to Z Glossary (Hierarchical Taxonomy)
Yes it is possible with a nested view:
a) Parent view list terms of Glossary Taxonomy,
b) Child view list posts under parent term
See our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-a-child-view-in-a-taxonomy-view-layout/
3) The site will include two languages.
Yes, Toolset plugins are full compatible with WPML plugin, I suggest you setup those two languages with WPML plugin:
http://wpml.org/
4) Search
I suggest you create a view with parameter search form for your users to search posts in your website, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/
Hope it help
