I messed up somehow (I did it in a few other instances as well) – the name of my directories is showing in search results in [wd_asp id=2]

Where it should be clear, like in [wd_asp id=1]

Looks like you have a dead link on your site – https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/index_table.html

At the time, this was the best solution I found.
Do you foresee any problems (from the user’s pov) if I continue with Directorist? (assuming I go through the pain of setting it up so as much data as possible can be found)

Is there another directory product (s) you prefer using/ see as a the best option?

UPDATE!! I downloaded the database, and that is how I determined which custom labels matched the data in each field.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9kicj4jgiohl9vt12q12g/GOAL.png?rlkey=h3iiz5nlf149a2dq4josqozm2&dl=0 This is Directorist out of the box, and what I’m trying to replicate

Ok, once this is all figured out, you will have a live, up-to-date example to sell to all Directorist users.

I have a few more things, and this will be 100% what I need from AJP.

Take a look…

In theory, I think I get it, but
1. How do I know what custom field (1-20) links up to the ones I created in Directorist
— Yes, I try each one and write down the corresponding number to figure it out ‘manually’ BUT 
2. There is no further drop-down, so I can then update the value label (dropdown, checkbox, etc)

GOAL
1 – Search within specific directories [check/ accomplished] – using the restriction
2. Search by Listing Categories; Locations; Tags [seems to be there] 
3. Search by Custom Fields – Not sure if it is working bc I can not customize what attribute it is searching based on

FAMILY FIRST 🙂

‘programmatical API’- not to my knowledge

search requests all URLs – ok, my non-technical head is spinning, so I’ll have to re-read your explanation a few times for it to make sense to me. ha ha

I asked Claude – it looks like the custom fields are here, I’ll take a poke around again.

Go take care of the fam – talk later this week.

Ernest – Can you extend the refund time frame on my purchase. I made a purchase on April 3rd, and you limit refunds to be claimed within 7-days.
Unfortunately, I have not heard back on my above ticket in 3-days (which is critical time I’d use to test my specific use case)

If not, then I’d need to start the refund process.

Thanks Ernest!!! Ok, so ‘exclusion’ is the way to make it display how I want – https://profectio.com/mediamarketplace/search/

1 – NEXT – Advance Search
I figured out how to search within Locations, Categories & Tags, but how can I search within the custom fields – ex https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/15xwwe9g5h6m66zqhfxxr/Screen-Shot-2026-04-05-at-1.50.14-PM.png?rlkey=jvtm7h1f463ei54cchs4gh722&dl=0 (these are ones I set up within Directorist)

I tried, but under
– Frontend Search Settings
— Custom Fields = I do not see an option to pull from the Directorist custom fields

2 – Claimed Listings. The video should be clear as to the problem https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6gg5hgy3ykf5wduimwibh/PXL_20260405_184332135.mp4?rlkey=jwxaj5r938dhzmaet9omyo8uv&dl=0
For some reason, the search results give a different URL ->https://profectio.com/dcl_claim_listing/pattison-outdoor/ (wrong) vs https://profectio.com/directory/pattison-outdoor/
* This only occurs with ‘claimed’ listings with this search engine and not this one https://profectio.com/agencies/

I fixed it with a URL redirect. Did I mess up the AJP settings?

For reference – https://directorist.com/docs/claim-listing/

This is the folder I shared before – https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/9ncodtwn237aevtlxkx41/AIXbrV1K7rr28F3aOraCIC4?rlkey=xrefig3hq1tnzt6hha7dqk5qp&dl=0
