Paid listings vs Free view listings Membership+Directory

0

I’ve seen a question: free listings in Directory but charge to view (using Membership). I’m the reverse: I want the viewer to see all the listings for free, but charge the business to add their listing (I assume through Directory). Arnold agreed I can limit the number of listings by using a per-listing credit system, but can I also limit the number of categories the business listing can use? I’ll be using Directory 2.2.35 and Membership 3.4.4.1.

    Hi @netdiva790,

    To my knowledge, you can’t limit the number of categories the customer can list in… but I can see how this would be advantageous, and it would be a good feature to add to the plugin.

    I’m not sure how easy it would be tom implement, but I’m happy to put it forward as a feature request and see what @Arnold comes back with.

    How about the main question: I’ve seen a question: free listings in Directory but charge to view (using Membership). I’m the reverse: I want the viewer to see all the listings for free, but charge the business to add their listing (I assume through Directory). How to do this? Should I use membership or directory for the payments?

    Using the “directory_full_access” filter you can write any logic you want but it may make for a bad user experience. Categories wouldn’t be checked against the number you set until the attempt is made to save it. So you’d also have to add error messages explaining the limit etc.
