The GeoDirectory Compare Listings add-on allows your users to compare listings side by side and compare vital info about the listings. Users can add up to 5 listings to compare at one time. You can also use the shortcode or block to embed a comparison table into a page or blog post with specific listing IDs.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Core Functional Specifications
-
Comparison Limit: Users can compare up to 5 listings at once by default (this limit can be increased via settings).
-
Persistent Selections: Uses browser storage instead of cookies or sessions. This means user selections are remembered across different pages and sessions without GDPR concerns.
-
Deep Integration: Fully compatible with Custom Post Types (CPT) and Events. You can create unique comparison lists for different categories (e.g., comparing “Hotels” won’t mix with “Restaurants”).
-
Shareable URLs: Generates a unique, dedicated URL for each comparison, allowing users to share their specific side-by-side results with others.
Display & Customization

Field Selection: Admins can specifically choose which custom fields appear in the comparison table (e.g., Price, Rating, Amenities) via the “Show in extra output location” setting.
