Classifieds/Real-estate Sold Functionality

[Stiofan]

I'd like to add a sold functionality which would include the following: (maybe we can add multiple statuses like , sold, under_offer, sale_agreed)

1. New post_status: sold
2. Sold items do not show in results (maybe we make this an option).
3. Advanced search special field can be used "Include Sold" (probably a tick box)
4. Post badge would need to be able to use the post_status
5. Add a "mark as sold" to the author actions to be able to quickly mark it as sold.

Thoughts?

6. Archive Item of SOLD items to be able to be styled differently.
7. Archive Item of SOLD to be able to have different/less custom fields displayed than a FOR SALE listing.
8. Same for detail page. For example must be able to remove author link etc, different than normal detail page.

Possibly can all be achieved with a CSS class depending on post_status?

Thank you.

6. could be done with class easily 7/8 need some thought on the best way to do it but i like the idea

I'm wondering if there is work in progress on this one? Guust's question was prompted by me as I run a geodirectory website www.buyusedguns.com.au which is a classifieds website and the ability for users to mark an item as 'sold'from within their account, and for that to trigger a subsequent action (eg generate an email from a template) is something my customers have been asking me for since 2019.... (Apologies if this isnt the right place to ask but I'm new to github). Thanks

"Pause" instead of "Sold"

There are also requests for a 'pause' option https://github.com/AyeCode/geodirectory/issues/1787

Very similar, pause and sold

If we can have only one, I vote for it the status to be called "paused" "Pause listing" "Paused" "Publish"

Paused is a more generalized term with a broader appeal and would be useful to any directory, for almost any listing type, not just a classifieds site.

UPVOTE

2. Option in CPT settings to exclude from search - this would really be ideal!

Update

• [ ] 3. Advanced Search Integration

  • [ ] I. "Paused Listings" Include in search bar as checkbox
  • [ ] II. Set default status (CHECKED, UNCHECKED)
  • [ ] III. Make Hidden (alternative for #2 - instead, just use a default filter that removes them from search)

• [ ] 5. - GD Author Actions integration

  • [ ] I. Option to show_pause_option default 1
  • [ ] II. Option to show_unpause_option default 0

New

• [ ] 9. GD Dynamic Content support for post status key (serves #7 and #8 for frontend display)
• [ ] 10. GD Post Meta support for post status key (use field string settings)
• [ ] 11. Conditional fields support for post status
• [ ] 12. Custom Field "Pause" - User can add to the CPT in the normal way - BUT - the field is not editable in the add listing form! Only in GD Author Actions! When Pause field is added to each CPT the user has special settings to configure for Field options for text strings including changing
  • [ ] Pause Action Text/String (Enter text, ex. Mark Sold, Pause, Unpublish)
  • [ ] Unpause Action Text/String (Enter text, ex. Mark Sold, Pause, Unpublish)
• [ ] 13. New CPT Option - Listing edit status - On edit, set listing to "Published" or "Paused" (Note: For members who have request a more complete moderation option and in the past have requested the ability to unpublish listings on edit, they can now A) Set up the pause option, then B. Implement GD Author Actions WITOUT UNPAUSE - so when users edit, their listings go to paused, and the admin has to UNPAUSE.)
• [ ] 14. Exclude Paused Listings
  • [ ] I. Exclude from CPT Archive, CPT + Category, CPT + Category + Location - EXCEPT to author or admin
  • [ ] II. Exclude by default in GD Listings EXCEPT EXCEPT to author or admin OR author=current_user or current_author (ONLY)

• [x] Use the GD Notifications widget to show status info Sold: This item has sold and is not longer available for purchase. Sale Agreed: The sale of this item has been agreed and is being finalized. Under Offer: An Offer has been made on this item and is being considered.

• [x] We need a custom field that can be added to let users set the status in the add/edit listing page.

• [x] The "Mark as:" functionality should be a dropdown in the author action, or maybe we should add option in author action widget to show as list of buttons or dropdown?
