How can we easily export listings/settings from one directory to another? we want to move the directory to a new url but other than copy the database we can’t see any other options?
Hello,
Unfortunately that is the only way at the moment for version 1.3 of the plugin.
I use the shortcode for showing up all the reviews. Is it possible to link the sabai-directory-review-title – actually the review title is not clickable to the entry (only the thumbnail is actually clickalble)
Hello,
Please go to Directory -> Reviews -> Fields, edit the Title field there and make sure the “Link to post” option is checked and press Save Changes. Please do this even when you have this option checked already to make sure.
Thank you very much! there was indeed the “check” missing! 
Hello Kazu,
We have a file of > 1 000 members to import into our directory.
On the process of importing, how to hide some fields (such as: mobile, email)? We do not want those fields to display to public, but the admin needs them to send email, SMS to members.
The hiding must be “in bulk”, to avoid editing manually > 1 000 profiles after importing.
How to hide them “in bulk” when importing, please?
Thank you.
Hello,
You don’t hide them during import, but hide them by configuring fields from Directory -> Listings -> Fields -> Manage Form. Edit the Contact Info field from there, and you should see several options to hide the fields that you do not wish to display.
Hello Kazu,
Yes indeed, it’s working now
Many thanks.
How do I make my listings look like yours in the demo:
http://codecanyon.net/item/sabai-directory-plugin-for-wordpress/full_screen_preview/4505485 http://mybingostop.com/directory/listing/hill-top-bingoHello,
http://codecanyon.net/item/sabai-directory-plugin-for-wordpress/full_screen_preview/4505485The above URL does not show the exact page you are referring to, since it is inside a browser frame. Can you go to http://demo.sabaiapps.com/sabaidirectory/ and tell us which page you are referring to?
I want it to look like the New York Magazine layout:
http://demo.sabaiapps.com/sabaidirectory/businesses/listing/new-york-magazineI don’t want to have to tab through different sections, I want to see the map, description, address, etc. on the page.
Any answer to my question?
Hi; Weirdly my listings has gone, i can see them in single list page – nearby tab, but not in directory index page. I have tried every possibility in settings, updated everything, disabled-enabled plugin etc.. I also sent you email. Any idea, i need urgent fix? thanks.
Hello,
Are the listing all unclaimed? If so, it is most likely that you have checked the “Hide from the index page” option under Directory -> Settings -> Claims -> Unclaimed Listing Settings so please check that option.
I haven’t used claimed tab. I have deleted and installed plugin again, bring back all listing from database back up. And I have my listing back
Once 1.4 is up i will gonna have a ‘Purchased’ marker on my account name seriously every feature i am missing, you say it will be available with 1.4 .. so i hope this will gonna be soon :))
Great!
Hello,
What would be the correct way to display city and category of the listing in widgets? I tried to modify wordpress_widget.html.php file which is in wp-content/plugins/sabai/assets/templates but <?php Sabai::_h($entity->directory_location0);?> returns NULL. since probably it’s not in the listing loop.
Is there any other way to achieve that?
Thank you!
Hello,
The $entity variable is not available in that template file. You can try:<?php if (isset($listing) && $listing->directory_location):?> <?php $location = $listing->directory_location[0];?> <?php endif;?>
and do something with the $location variable.
Is it possible to integrate static pages URLs as search results for the directory? the directory I’m trying to build will be about lawyers categories and Cities, I need the search result to produce static pages, like it does for categories, need the page url to be like this for SEO purpose : domain.com/directory/city/ and domain.com/directory/city1/category1/ and all listings under this city and category will be listed here in this unique page using shortcodes to call them.. is it possible to have anything like this with your plugin?
Hello,
We’re not sure what you really mean by static page URLs, but each listing has its own URL that does not change (unless you change it manually), for example: http://demo.sabaiapps.com/sabaidirectory/stores/listing/apple-store-fifth-avenue
> need the page url to be like this for SEO purpose : domain.com/directory/city/ and domain.com/directory/city1/category1/
Unfortunately this is currently not possible but will be in version 1.4 of the plugin (currently 1.3).
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I just need the cities & categories results to be physical pages that already exist in the site and have their listings, with urls like this :
domain.com/directory/city1/ctagegory1/ when the search in Location is city1, and the category1 selected. and all listings under both will be here.
domain.com/directory/city1/ when the search is only for the city1, you get all listings under that city on this page.
So the search result will be pages with unique url based on cities and categories. So I was wondering if there is anyway to have something like that, be it auto generating of those pages or manually creating this pages and integrating the links in the search result, I’ll be happy to pay you to customize the plugin a bit for me to solve this, can you offer me something like that?
Thanks
I bought this many years ago and finally have time to set it up. Can you kindly help me, all I am wondering is 1) how do I get the “list your business” button on my directory page that shows the listing on the left side and map on the right side….. 2) when I click on the URL to add a business I want them to have to sign up, but I do not see that, where can I activate that? thank you.
Hello,
1. You can try using the Add Listing widget and place it where you want to. Where you can show widgets depends on the theme you are using.
2. Please see the following FAQ for details: http://codecanyon.net/item/sabai-directory-plugin-for-wordpress/4505485/faqs/22896
Im thinking of purchasing this plugin. I have a few presale questions.
1. How does this work with buddypress?
2. On the actual listing page, is it possible to hide the following tabs? “related listings, nearby listings”
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in the plugin!
1. All the listings, reviews, photos, and bookmarks of a user on the user profile page of BuddyPress, for example here: https://0.s3.envato.com/files/144927025/screenshots/buddypress_profile.png
2. Yes, you can hide those tabs from the General settings page in the backend. You can also add custom tabs from there if you like.
Great job. It works very fine. I have just one issue with email notification. Emaillog show that this issue comes from host email server. One way to solve this troubleshooting is to use another great plugin : Postman SMTP. Thanks for your great job!
Hello,
Thank you for the comment and the info!
Hello,
That may be something caused with a javascript conflict with another plugin on your site or the theme. Do you see any javascript error in the browser console? For further support, please contact with the URL to the page where we can take a look. http://codecanyon.net/item/sabai-directory-plugin-for-wordpress/4505485/support
@WebdesignSolutions , thank you so much, if you can provide the exact shortcode to call listings based on category and city, and only listing based on city, I will appreciate that very much, as I was trying and couldn’t come up with that.
@WebdesignSolutions, I mentioned I’m going to buy the plugin just need to make sure about the features , I had a chance to play with it on my partner website.. since it’s possible it’s ok to know later. I have one last ultimate question which I will ask in the last page to keep you organized. thanks
Hello,
Yes, the one you asked us about the shortcodes is possible, for example:
[sabai-directory category=”category_slut” address=”My City”]
@Ayo 1, yes its possible with the correct shortcode. thats the beauty of this Plugin, you can change the outcome for each map with a specific shortcode. hope that helped
Ayo1 I would do so, but unfortunately I do not see a Purchased Badge on your side, so I am sorry. You might ask envato to help with the badge. 
I have two ideas for updates (or paid addons):
1. verified user can embed their own listing (reviews) on websites 2. verified user can embed a badge on a website that they are listed on the directory.
Do you make also customizations of the plugin?
Hello,
Those sound very interesting and we will see what we can do. Unfortunately we are currently not able to accept any custom work with the plugin.
ok, we would also be ready to buy an additional add-on for the directory plugin
Hi, I’m about tot buy this plugin just need to make sure about some features. I was looking at the shortcodes, is it possible to have a shortcode that will call listings based on category and city? and also call listings in a page based on city only? I’m building a directory that will cover all UK cities, based on categories. Please let me know. Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in the plugin!
Yes, those are possible with the shortcodes, using the “category” and “address” parameters.
Hello, i’ve purchased this wonderfull plugin.
I was wondering if i can integrate fields from userpro so that users don’t always need to fill in there contact (Address, phone, etc) when they input a new record.
Kind Regards from Belgium
Hello,
Unfortunately we do not think that is currently possible.
whats wrong with the ‘read more’ link on this plugin? its showing the code on the front end of the pages… is there not a better solution? or are you suggesting that you want us to manually copy and paste this link into the listing descriptions? ... Read More can you please confirm your intention for how this is supposed to work?
Hello,
Sorry but we are not sure if we understood your issue. Can you tell us what “code” you are seeing on the front end?
Is there a way to disable file upload option for reviewers?
Hello,
If you are referring to the Photos field of the review submission form, you can do so by going to Directory -> Reviews -> Fields -> Manage Form, edit the Photos field, check the Disabled option and Save Changes.
Hi, Thanks.
I also noticed that when clicking add review (for regular users trying to review) it doesn’t load the stars panel (rating). And is there a way to popup the review form as a modal or a popup or on the same page itself, instead of a new page?
Thanks
Also @onokazu The map is only showing up for Admin and not public. Not sure which setting to check.
For some reason, I cannot enter a purchase code. I see the “CodeCanyon.net Purchase Code Settings” at the bottom of the Settings>Sabai page. Where do I enter it?
Hello,
That is a strange issue you are seeing on your site. Isn’t there a input text field where you can paste your purchase code? Which version of the plugin are you currently using?
No, that’s why I thought it was odd too.
There may be some kind of javascript conflict on your site, but we’re not sure unless we actually see that page. Do you see any javascript error on that page in the browser console?
