Automatically showing Map on Place’s page

As you can see in the picture below, when users go to the page of Bertrand at Mister A’s restaurant, the system will automatically show the map on the right-hand side of the screen.

SEO Improvement

In the latest version of DirectoryEngine 1.9.3, we add Google schema for Place Breadcrumb. It will help authors improve the SEO of their Places.

Bug fixes:

• In the last version of DirectoryEngine, if the address and link of Place are too long, they would be shown incorrectly. This bug is now solved
  
• In DirectoryEngine 1.9.3, if user’s location near a Place, the distance will be showed as meter instead of kilometer like before.
• If you have already used DirectoryEngine, you will know that we offer you a function to change the color of Place category in Dashboard/Settings/Content.

However, if you use Chinese, Japanese…or other non-Latin languages , the color you choose would not appear in the frontend. This bug no longer exists in DirectoryEngine version 1.9.3 – Our best Listing and Directory WordPress Theme.

• The bug in Map Marker of Place is fixed. Now if you go to Dashboard/Settings/Map:

And you choose Disable in “Display map marker in single place page”

Then the Map in Place’s page will show not only the marker of that place but also another place near there like the picture below.
