J-BusinessDirectory - Media for listing results style 7 & business detail style 3

Support Forum

 
 

 

Hi, depending on the combination of listing and detail templates used, it would seem appropriate to be able to turn on/off in admin, certain media uploads for business users.

For instance

  1. With listing detail style 3, there seems no use for a cover image, though the user is requested to provide one. (found option to remove this!)
  2. Also I'm not sure if the 'ad image' is used anywhere with these two templates, though the user is requested to provide one. (found option to remove this!)
  3. Further, and importantly, the 'Business pictures' are used in the listing results style 7 template, however these images are not cropped for a particular aspect ratio and so can end up being stretched and not looking good.
  4. Also, at least one of 'Business pictures' is not a mandatory upload (so at least one of these images cannot be guarenteed to be present for the serach listings).
  5. The only image asked for which works on both search and detail pages is the top image request ('image to represent your listing') though this is not sufficient for the search listings results style 7 on it's own (as the formatting of the serach listings result data isn't right unless 'Business pictures' are also present).

So it would seem appropriate to not ask users to provide images not needed (guess I can change php code if no other option) and Maybe in place of the 'Business pictures' on search listings results style 7, it could use the 'ad image', though the aspect ratio for this would need to be changed/defined for the search listings results style 7 display.

The images for a listing in the serach results are such a fundemental aspect of the script - and given the quite complex requirement for users setting up a listing, it would be fab to get this functionality working really smooth and perfectly embarassed  It might be that for a particular combination of search listing results and business detail page templates, the default is all perfect - however, I beleive that the two templates I have selected to use, provide the best overall presentation when taking into account display on PC and mobile, and have several other advantages over other options too.

I realise I have posted on this previously - just I feel this is a clearer explanation of what I feel is required.

PS: Also, after saving the media page (and not closing), it would make sense to stay on that page, so the user can confirm that all images have uploaded and been saved correctly. At present, saving the page resets to the first tab of setting up a business listing. [Actually this applies to all the pages/tabs for entering business info. Would be nice if stay on same page after a save, imo.]

Important extra note: As with the 'Project images' file names remain how the user uploads them, which is not a good practice imo, as can breach privacy and/or mean the site has unprofessionally named images on it.

Hi,

We are going to improve this in the 5.6.0 release.

Brilliant, thank you.
