This is one of the most asked features in the forums, as if you are running for instance a restaurant directory, you need to classify your restaurants in several categories, like "Asiatic" and "Chinese" or even using it for showing type of food and pricing overview: "Spanish food" and "Lower price". We have also migrated the categories to Joomla's default categories component so now you can also benefit of this component features.
Or what is even better, priority levels for your locations. Now you can set a priority level for your locations and use this to show your featured locations always first. This Way you can have shown not only featured locations, but also to decide the importance of them in your lists.
We had to wait till Locations Manager 3.2 version to see this, but at last you can allow your site visitors to make comments not only in your events, but also in your locations using the great Joomla! Extension JComments. To enable this amazing feature you just need to install our JComments plugin in your site and obviously have JComments extension installed in your site.
It's a couple of years since we did the first cut of this nice module for one of our clients and now we have revamped it to looks nicer and have added a couple of options so that you can use it in your sites out of the box. Click on the image on the right to see a screenshot of how it looks
It's been a while since Joomla! 1.6 introduced new concepts of saving like Save as copy button. For Locations Manager we have decided that this is a really cool feature that will improve your productivity and we have added them to our edit location page. Now you can keep adding Locations to your site without even checking the control panel ;).
These are just 5 of the great new features we included in latest two weeks and we are looking forward to hear your suggestions for other new features to include in next Locations Manager 3.3, so please if you have any idea, drop us a line in the Silver forum.
