Developers -- How to add new categories for listing types and property types?

Posted by on 15 August 2014 09:11 AM

Property Type Category

Since WPL3.5.0, you can add new property type (and manage existing) categories using WPL->Data Structure->Property Types->Categories.

Listing Type Category

To add new categories listing types you should go to the database of your website and then add new records in [wp_prefix]_wpl_listing_types.

Note: Parent key of new records must be 0.

Note: Insert a high number for the id column (more than 10000). It avoids duplicate id conflicts in the future.

Thank you very much for the description.
What I like very much is the option to add the category field also to the search-widget. In case there are many property types per category, by selecting the right category, the property types will be pre-selected automatically.

The most important question now: how can I add a category field to "Flex" in order to get this pre-selection already when adding new listings?

Thank you so much for your great support.
