All featured ads do not appear until you scroll to the bottom of the page and come back

Actually this is due to pagination.

Meaning, at first lets say you are fetching 20 latest properties, and 1 out of those 20 is featured, so that's moved to top. When you hit bottom, it loads more, and fetches next 20, where you might have more featured properties, that are sorted back to top.

I think we should handle it with a better approach in my opinion:

When loading next set of properties, we should show featured listing on top of its own batch. ie all featured properties from 21-40 should be indexed from 21,22,23... instead of moving to 1,2,3... positions.

it worked for me thank you., but only when I select a current location or type in keyword and search then featured show on top, but if I use "All location" without keyword search which will included and show the whole site's data then it didn't show .. is there a reason for this ? or just missing something ?

Hi there,

We have implemented the better approach and improved the "Featured First" sorting option on Search Results Page. Please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the file panel_properties_listing_widget.dart. Path: PROJECT_NANE/packages/houzi_package/lib/widgets/search_result_widgets/panel_properties_listing_widget.dart.
2. Download and unzip this file panel_properties_listing_widget.dart.zip and replace it with the existing one.
3. Restart the app.

I hope this will help you resolve the issue.

Hi,

What approach is this ? because I see there are couple issues with this search result display as in some website and this might happening to this app too.

first the queries priority needed to be as: best matched first then featured then newest to oldest, because if you have the featured as first priority then the result is a mess and customers will give up when they see whole bunch of none sense featured listing stand up front of their properties wanted to search. so to make sure the customer get what they want it need to be best matched properties first then featured after or no need featured first if too many properties assigned as featured, i saw couple sites i tried to search i had to go thru 30 pages before i able to see the normal result that i was searching for, that's really bad for customer, they don't even want to bother with the app.

SO I would like to ask to switch back to the best match and newest to oldest instead .. as featured ones, i have separated section for them and no need to search.

Thanks.

If you want to switch back to old approach, you can replace the file with the one from original source code that you downloaded from codecanyon.

Secondly, in the feature first. It is not going to be a junk. Why, because either it is upgraded to feature by an admin or user pay for upgrading listings to featured. So it is always going to be carefully curated category. The features will be moved to top from current queried pages only.

A possible scenario will be like this:

1. Featured
2. Featured
3. Featured
4. Normal best match
5. Normal best match ... .. 20 Normal best match

Now for next pagination, it is going to be something like:

21. Featured
22. Featured
23. Featured
24. Normal best match
25. Normal best match ... .. 40 Normal best match

It is not going to show all featured listing on your website, ignoring the query param. Instead it will move the featured to top from current set of listing against a query.

Hi,

Yes, that's what I saw and it was good so I didn't say anything and just trying it, but once i saw this guy's site, he has like 200k properties listing and I tried to put a search on a property I just listed on his own website and I had to browse 30 pages of Featured before I can get to normal page which was my listing and I had already narrow down states and city.

I think this approach would work when not a lot of featured listings included. (and yes, featured one are paid bye people to get featured, but if it's cheap, everyone want to feature.. :) )

Just an idea see you guys might want to put in away it's best for the app and doesn't matter what approach it is. as it is for now, i am using what you gave me above and I edited the Houzez to display newest to oldest, cuz once I had featured first on the theme and that was exactly what I talked about, bunch of featured listing showed up...

Thanks
