    Hi,

    (Installed and using listing filter mod)
    Is it possible to place a link to a city on my website (say London) and instead of going through the pop up window to click on the london page link, is it possible to jump straight to the london page via a link on my website ?

    Many thanks for any help

    This is possible to do but requires a major customization to the module and still it will effectively be a drop down menu on the screen. It is not a small or easy change to make. I cannot see a quick or easy way to do it. Someone else with the module may see a better way to do it.

    ok thanks anyway david.

    By the way is it possible to show the town or city chosen from the listingfilter mod in the <title> tag ?

    Many thanks Jason

    take a look in smarty debug to see if those variables are available. I think you should be able to pick up the variable shown in the listing filter from the module and assign it to the title variable. I think it is {$lf_filter} and it is found in the listing filter template itself.

    Thanks David works a treat.

    I have set up the title tag for home.tpl as below which works great:-

    {elseif $body=='home.tpl'}
    <title>mywebsite.co.uk | {$lf_filter} Classifieds, Free Classified ads for {$lf_filter} </title>

    Can I ask will the names of the cities and towns show up in google search results as they do on my website ?
    and if they do if somebody clicks on the google link will it take them to the home.tpl page of the city shown or just to my default home.tpl ?

    Many Thanks

    Jason

    Google will not filter so they will go to the main page. Its is filtering and not making a new url that google will index.
