Import

It is inconvenient to manually add a large number of business listings at once to a fresh installation of GoClixy. Inserting categories, locations, and listings one by one will take a long time especially when you have hundreds or thousands of such information. In such situations, you need a solution to automatically add all those listings to your Online Business Directory.

To view all the existing imports and their status, go to Settings->Import/Export->Importer

Click the file name under the File Name column to download.

To delete the existing imported file, select the file by marking the checkbox to the left of the Data Imported column and click the Delete button.

Note: For security reasons, it is the best practice to delete all existing imported files.

Storing PMD Routes and Links (Developer Edition Customers only)
Replace the public function location method inside the application/modules/listings/controllers/Listings.php file with the code below:

public function location($slug, $city = null) {
$id = (int)substr( $slug, strrpos( $slug, '-' ) + 1);
$module = 'listings';
if(empty($id)) {
if(!empty($city)) {
$city = escape($city);
$location = $this->db->where('slug', $city)->get('cities')->row();
if($location) {
$slug = $location->slug . '-' . $location->id;
$this->listings_model->category_location_tag_search(false, 'listings', 'cities', $this->session->userdata('search_country'), $slug, $this->limit);
} else {
$_GET['l'] = escape($city);
$_GET['tl'] = 1;
$this->listings_model->category_location_tag_search(false, $module, 'search', NULL, NULL, $this->limit);
}
} else {
$_GET['l'] = escape($slug);
$_GET['tl'] = 2;
$this->listings_model->category_location_tag_search(false, $module, 'search', NULL, NULL, $this->limit);
}
} else {
$this->listings_model->category_location_tag_search(false, 'listings', 'cities', $this->session->userdata('search_country'), $slug, $this->limit);
}
}
Add a new method to the end of the same file as follows:

/**
* Browse By Category and Location
*/
public function browse($category, $state, $city = null) {
$category = $this->db->get_where('categories', array('slug' => escape($category)))->row();
if($category) {
$_GET['cg'] = $category->id;
}
if(!empty($state)) {
$_GET['l'] = escape($state);
$_GET['tl'] = 2;
}
if(!empty($city)) {
$_GET['l'] = escape($city);
$_GET['tl'] = 1;
}
$module = 'listings';
$this->listings_model->category_location_tag_search(false, $module, 'search', NULL, NULL, $this->limit);
}
Add the below lines to the application/config/routes.php file after line number 269.

$route['category/(:any)/location/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'listings/browse/$1/$2/$3';
$route['category/(:any)/location/(:any)'] = 'listings/browse/$1/$2';
Add the below lines to the public_html/.htaccess file after line number 192:
