GeoDirectory Compare Listings

Directory visitors often open several listings in separate tabs and try to remember the differences. This plugin puts the details in one comparison chart instead. Users can contrast features, prices and specifications for businesses, services, accommodation, classifieds or locations. Site owners choose which fields appear in the table, so the comparison shows only the details that matter for that kind of listing.

The plugin works with the GeoDirectory core plugin and its official addons. A compare button can be added with a shortcode, a widget or a block, and you can adjust its icons, text, colors and size to match your design. Selections are kept in browser storage, so they carry across pages without cookies or sessions. Results open in a lightbox and also have their own shareable URL.

Features

• Side-by-side listing comparison: Visitors can compare up to 5 listings at once in a single chart. The limit is adjustable, so you can set it to suit your directory.
• Customizable table fields: Choose exactly which listing details appear in the comparison table, so visitors see targeted information instead of every field a listing contains.
• Lightbox display: Comparisons open in a lightweight, responsive lightbox, so users can view the details side by side without leaving the page they are on.
• Shareable comparison URL: Each comparison result has a dedicated URL, which lets users send their chart to others for advice or collaboration.
• Customizable compare button: Adjust the button's icon, text, colors and size so it fits your site's branding and design.
• Shortcode, widget or block: Place the comparison features where you need them, from archive pages to blog posts, using a shortcode, a widget or a block.
• Selections kept in browser storage: Comparison choices persist across pages using browser storage, without relying on cookies or sessions. This keeps the approach GDPR-friendly.
• Custom post type support: Set different fields for each custom post type, including events integrations, to keep every comparison clear and organized. A dedicated comparison page is added on activation.
