What’s new in Directorist - Compare Listing 2.2
Version 2.2 · Nov 14, 2024

- FixedSettings issue.
What it does
On a busy directory, people often open several listings in separate tabs and flip between them to check prices, ratings and details. This add-on gives them one place to do that. Visitors tick a checkbox on the listings they care about, and the plugin builds a comparison table showing up to five of them next to each other. They can add or remove listings from the comparison as they narrow down their choice.
The table pulls in standard Directorist fields such as price, rating and category, along with any custom fields you have created for your directory. That means the comparison reflects the details that matter in your niche, whether you list restaurants, real estate, services or products. It works with multiple listing types, fits into the existing Directorist interface, and uses a responsive layout that stays readable on desktops, tablets and phones. It requires the Directorist plugin to run.
Best for
- Directorist sites listing restaurants, services or local businesses
- Real estate directories where buyers weigh several properties
- Product directories with detailed custom fields
