Q: Customizing menus to reflect category three teir structure
I sure hope there is an easier way, I have top level 7 categories, 42 Second Level categories. I looking to septeup the header menu so that the 7 top categoris show in the menu and some clicks or hovers it shows the subcategroies. Please tell me that I dont have to manual enter/create each top and subcategories one at a time, that would be very time consuming. 2) Does brilliant directories have any advanced search filters feature that where you can search based on attributes in the form used to collect data for a post in that category. 3) Also Why when I click on top category url , a result page comes up but there is absolutley no indication on that page of the subcategories and third teir subsubcategores. Ok, I very new to BD so I assuming I am missing someting.

Q: Would like part of a membership feature to include a “buy/sell” marketplace…
I want to build out a directory/community where one of the engagements of the platform is to allow members to list for sale items…. All members, free or paid buy a listing, transaction of which is facilitated on the site directly. I see that there is at least one 3rd party plugin that at least in a very basic way allows this, Ecommerce 1.0 plugin. I would like to have member tiers where free members can list say 3 items, “silver” (paid) members get 10 listings as part of their tier and “gold” get 20. Alternatively, what I really would like is that we take a commission directly every time a sale occurs, but the plugin doesn't offer that. Are there any other solutions available to build such functionality? Thank you.
