How to Configure the Mobile X App View Correctly?

Official Native app is now available learn more.

What’s the difference between Responsive View and Mobile X App?

The Responsive View is the usual method that we already know. Every page and behavior has within it the responsiveness in mind, allowing that every page fits on many different screens.
When you choose your layout as responsive, you’ll have all the page components being delivered accordingly with user’s screen. Whether it be on mobile, tablet, notebook or desktop.

Furthermore, the Mobile X App allows you even more. It not only fits on multiple screens, but it also behaves almost like a mobile app but on a mobile browser, it’s not a native app that needs to be downloaded. It allows you to create and customize your own homepage layout for your Mobile X.

Both are very similar and distinct at the same time, and below you’ll get to know how to enable the Mobile X App and the result that it’ll bring to your Mobile Directory.

First let’s go to the App View option, by following…

Go to Theme Options > Listing Settings > General

Here, we need to define the URL Page that we’re going to work on Mobile.

First go to WordPress Dashboard > All Pages and Create a new page

Add the URL page created and insert it into the App View, now scroll down and change the Style Slider as Style 2

Our new page, we’ve used ListingPro Visual Composer adding the following elements “Listing Categories, ListingPro Call to Action, Locations and Listing Entries“.

See the results below

Some more details…

You’ll have the flexibility to create your own customized page for your App View. Make some tests and see which Visual Composer Element will better fit into your business purpose. The Style Height set above is simply to define the Banner Image from our new App View Model.

ATTENTION

Remember to always create and customize your page and insert the URL into the required option for your App View

To fully test this functionality, it’s recommended that you open the URL into your own Mobile device or any website that offers native navigation. Some websites only offer a responsive view, and by this limitation, you won’t be able to check the final result of your pages.

How much data can ListingPro handle?

The logic is that the themes have nothing to do with storing the number of listings as the storage happens in the database. Themes have to do everything how it retrieves the data. If it handles a query that runs an infinite loop to retrieve all data at once, instead of smaller datasets (Example: Batch of 20 listings), then it runs into problems such as resulting in crashing the site.

But all our loops are checked and tested to make sure none of them have an infinite loop. We have users with over 300,000 listings and we have even tested with over a million listings as well without a problem.

For optimal performance, a low cost shared hosting is never recommended for running a real business directory site with thousands of listings. What you want to consider is a VPS or Dedicated Hosting.

How Listing Detail Manager Works?

First, We have 2 styles that will differ the appearance of the listing page.

You have the option to opt-in between these 2, and then we can follow along with the Content Layout and Sidebar Layout

Let’s dive in…

Go to Theme Options > Listing Settings > Listing Detail Page Layout Manager

At the beginning select the Detail Page Style that you want to work with and see the difference between them.

Below, we have the Content Layout. The arrows speak for themselves, you can simply drag and drop the elements and reorder them by your needs. Exactly! TOTAL FLEXIBILITY. In case you don’t want a specific element to appear on the listing page, you can simply drag the element to your right and add the element in the Disabled Panel. This means that the selected element will be disabled and won’t show on the listing page.

Going further, we have more FLEXIBILITY to reorder the listing page sidebar.

To finish, 4 final options to opt-in. With a special one that couldn’t be left behind… WHATSAPP.

REMEMBER, we always recommend making some tests simply to find the final result that best fits your purpose and business strategy. Also, The drag and drop function on the listing page increases a huge FLEXIBILITY to differ your directory and bring a unique experience for your end-users and customers.
