Thanks!

I just got the hosted version and it says on my admin panel Version 4.
Does this mean I got 4.2?

Happy Holidays!

Thanks! I just checked my version.

How about the US geo (State and Zip)? I am using my site for Philippine real estate and when I entered a listing's zip, I got an error saying wrong zip code?

I also noticed the agent registration form is asking for US State and Zip. The agents using my site can be anywhere but most of them will be in the Philippines.
How can we get around this?

Hello

We use zip codes database with latitudes and longitudes in our product for radius search. By default we provide US zip codes in the database. You can import Philippine zip codes to make zip code radius search feature work for Philippines. To do this go your admin panel -> "Geographic Data", and import or add manually zip codes there. You can also add a zip code listing field of text type, instead of "geographic" type (you'll need to delete current zip code listing field first to do it). In this case the system will not check zip code in database, but radius search feature will not work.

To change a list of states in user profile go to admin panel -> User Groups -> Edit needed user group -> Edit User Profile Fields -> Edit State Filed -> edit List values. You can also delete State field from the user profile and add a text field instead (for example "Location"). In this case you user will put their location data manually instead of choosing from a list. You can also create a country list filed, and insert countries of you agents there. It's all up to you.

Another question if you don't mind, how can I disable or remove the google map feature? I think it does not work with Philippine addresses.

You need to remove link to google maps from display_listing.tpl and listing_display.tpl templates lacated n the /templates/your_theme/classifieds folder. The code that displays this link looks somthing like this:

<a target="_blank" href="http://maps.google.com/?q={$listing.Address}+{$listing.City},{$listing.State}">Google Maps[/url]
