J-BusinessDirectory - Some suggestions for new versions, if possible

Hi team,

Some suggestions and questions.

- Move all front-end part component from the administrator folder. I normally Akeeba AdmiTools to secure my administrator folder. Using this component I can not secure administrator folder because something in the front-end component uses the administrator folder, and server asks credentials continously.
- Solve the SEO problem proposed by Jeff Opie in another post of the two slashes // in the browser url.

- Other Seo improvement could be the option to patch the route and to replace http://www.mysite.com/component/jbusinessdirectory/ by http://www.mysite.com/my-patch  if possible, I don't know if it could be possible. If not, I am not able to assign modules to the search results becouse /component/jbusinessdirectory/ is not a menu item.

- Search by City: How can I buld a link to search by cities? Maybe now is possible, but I don't know how. If I would like to build a link to search by category I follow this url ?controller=search&task=showCompaniesFromCategory&view=search&categoryId=119, but how to search by cities?

- How to add characters to the business website url field from 100 to 150?

On the other hand, wanted to congratulate you for this wonderful component.

regards

Hi,

We will check if possible to move all code from administrator to front-end. Now we just reuse the code instead of duplicate it.

We are going to fix the // in the next version.

I do not know if it possible to remove jbusinessdirectory from url. This is how Joomla creates the links.

Search but city is possible if you activate it from search module.

I do not know what are you refering to with : - How to add characters to the business website url field from 100 to 150?

Hi,
When a user enters and add their company is difficult to add categories and subcategories appropriate in this format. I recommend searching or I think there would be better if there were two fields, first to include all categories and the other to be empty in the first phase...when selecting any of the categories listed in first field to populate other field with related subcategories.

I love this component. 

Hi,

There was a similar mechanism implemented in previous versions but it created confusion for some users and we change it.

Hi,

1. But an search? It is very difficult to select a sub category of 400 and in time maybe more.

Attachments is visible only in Business listing details/Tabs style 2.

Contact person is visible only in Business listing/Tabs style 1.

2. Can you include both in Business listing/One page?

3. How many attachments can be loaded?

4. You can set a limit to their number?

5. How big can be an attachment?

6. Where can I set the number of pictures that can be loaded when creating an offer and an event? In general settings for listing business is set to 8 photos ... in the package is the same but this setting does not apply to offers and events.

The maximum size for uploading their photos on the server? I noticed that ... very large pictures can not be loaded, the large load is resized ... but still do not know exactly what size should have a picture that can be uploaded!?

7.Keywords entered by users when they add company are used only internally or they are used for searches in google?

The suport is awesome. Thanks for your help.
