Johnny,
I just peeked at my test install and cannot find any breadcrumbs displaying or a settings to show them. What are you referencing so that I can go and check :)

Johnny,
To be honest this plugin really isn't up to the standards we would prefer, and we are hoping to get it re-worked as soon as we can. There are lots of little holes (as I'm sure you've noticed)
The plugin used to be theme dependent, and was supposed to leave the dependancy behind on the new releases, but I believe some things slipped through the cracks. Which theme are you using? Are you using the default that ships with the plugin?

No I am using a different theme, with the understanding that it did work out of the box, with another theme.
However, I believe the lack of css mod options, widgets and shortcode options make it very difficult at the moment to integrate with an external theme.

Well I have tried to edit the CSS of the above screenshot....
It seems the rating stars are outputted in the wrong place!? It is a form allow you to select it and submit, but the form is below the star images... very confusing.
Any help from the dev and his new helper on this one?

Hey guys,
Just letting you know I'm following this thread with interest. Have you found a way to implement a breadcrumb into your directory?
What I did, I took the default theme that came with the Directory, whacked my own css in there, and styled it to a completely different look and feel... I'm still fixing up a few things to make it live, but all the individual styling and functions are working pretty well.
I'm really trying to find a way to put in a breadcrumb though.. any luck?

Just a heads-up, I tried to code my own breadcrumbs into it, and it kept stuffing up, especially when "Listings" came up as "Array"...
So I went through some existing plugins one by one, and found Breadcrumb NavXT, which works like a charm! It integrates nicely into the rest of the website too and is easily customizable :-)
How did you get the categories to display as a grid on your theme? I have installed the plugin on my site, but the listings category shortcode doesn't actually display a list of categories. Instead is just displays a list of listings.
By the way, here is a link to my listings page that I put the shortcode on. http://www.yorbalindanow.com/listings/ (site is fresh out of the box and has not been modified yet)
You'll notice too that if you click on the "Posted in Automotive" link, that the page can't be found. What is the problem here?

Sorry mate, I don't really understand what you're asking... All I can say is that the default theme that "Directory" comes with, has the theme options that lets me choose if I want it to be grid layout or list layout, but that may not be what you're asking, so I don't know if that helps...
I think @Arnold is right in that you can just use CSS to style it how you like..
So I figured out how to get my theme directory to look like the default theme: http://www.yorbalindanow.com/directory/ Thank you for your help with that one.

Hi,
Using [dr_list_categories] and it is only showing max of 5 cats under each sub heading.
Under Arts & Entertainment there are 20 sub categories.
Yet, when I click the Arts & Entertainment link, to get to the listing-category, there are NO sub categories. It only shows listings in the Arts & Entertainment category links.
Is this a fault, it does not seem that CSS is hiding anything..

To turn on comments you need to install CustomPress. Then in the Post Types directory_listings and in the Supports section tick the Comments box. That turns on the normal allow comments box on the listing editor.
@johnnymestizo
I think your 10 stars is two sets of 5 stars, one at the top and one at the bottom so it canbe rated at either end. Since you have no content there's nothing to separate them.
Thank you for your reply, but when I did that, all of a sudden it broke the links to all of my listings categories. Do you know why that would happen? I undid the change, and my links are still broken. This same thing happened yesterday when I was toying with Custom Press, and then all of a sudden it started working again about 30 minutes later. http://www.yorbalindanow.com/listings-category/business/financial-services/
The listings are actually working fine: http://www.yorbalindanow.com/directory/. I had to check the boxes in Custom Press > Post Types > Supports to enable them.
I just can't get the comments/review to work AT ALL. There are a TON of bugs with this plugin when trying to integrate it with your own theme. This plugin is actually the main reason that I became a member, and it's turning out to be a bigger project than I ever thought it would be.
What settings did you select on your Breadcrumb NavXT plugin? I installed it, but it's not working correctly. You can navigate through my directory here: http://www.yorbalindanow.com/directory/
Half of my categories in the directory are not showing up. And only 5 of each category are showing. Is it possible that my shortcode is not working correctly? [dr_list_categories]
I don't work for these guys, so I'm not sure when or if this will be fixed. Just to clarify, you added the following to the HTML tab in the directory page you created?
<div id="content">
<div class="padder">[dr_list_categories]</div>
</div>
In the css you can try changing the word "post" to "entry." For example: .post #content li { change to .entry #content li {
Other than that, I really don't know what else could be the problem.

Greetings,
The entire Directory plugin is being recoded, so "fixed" it shall be, of course since this is being addressed by a brand new coder with a brand new version it will certainly need the normal expected bug shakeout time, but I anticipate a whole new experience upon his first release of this plugin.

I believe where it has
Home >
up the top is meant to be some sort of breadcrumbs system, like the following.
Home > Directory category > listing name
It is not part of my theme...
Breadcrumbs list CSS ID :
class="breadcrumb-list"
Directory listing element IDs:
entry-post
entry-title
entry-content
sr-rate-this
At the moment this looks pretty bad… am I meant to make heavy mods to my stylesheet, or is this layout corrupt.
Thanks for any help on making it look better.

The former dev on the Directory Plugin is no longer with us, that is why Arnold is going to be moving in to fix it up a bit :)
I can ping Arnold, however I'm sure much of this will change when he gets to updating it
He will probably find your digging helpful too!

In your style.css there is a line at 281
form div {
clear: both;
}
take that out and your stars will be side by side. May break other things.
Also install CustomPress so you can edit the custom fields etc.

I have figured out how to embed the create ad buttons into a theme:
Will these be short coded one day?
When you click this Add Listing link, it goes to a 404 error on the site, even though Directory is installed.
site name .com/add-listing/
Is this add-listing a file in the directory default theme? as I cannot find it.
Thanks

On the Classifieds Items could you start a separate thread. If much less confusing if we don't jump back and forth.
At the present the Front end Add Listing doesn't work. Just the backend. All on the list of stuff to fix.

@JAG004
Clicking the Listings menu is meant to give you a list of Listings so that's correct.
To get the categories list make a page with the [dr_list_categories] shortcode on it. Then use CSS to style it as you like.
When I clicked on the "Posted in Automotive" link it went to the page just fine. Same with Mechanic

It seems the code to do that is still embedded in the default directory theme and not a function of the plugin.
