    Is there a way to have multiple Categories and/or Listing Categories?

    What we need is a way to have listing Categories for 'business type' (which link to GEO sliders in the theme)

    One 'set' of Listing Category :
    Business Type
    -Accounting
    -Photography
    -Web Design

    We need a second 'set' of Categories or Listing Categories for
    Business Location
    -Australia
    -UK
    -USA
    Plus these need to have sub menu/child listings/categories
    -Australia
    - - Queensland
    - - South Australia
    - - Victoria
    etc

    We want to have multiple Listing / Categories so that when we setup our 'Search Widget' we can seperate Business Types from Business Locations , and also have sub-cats for locations.

    How can we do this? Thank you.

    Seems like a lot of work for yourself to add locations through categories with lost of repitition, the address/location is obviously designed for geographical sorting...

    You could manually create a widget(perhaps via a menu) with locality adding a search string to the end of your url

    Code:
    http://www.yourdomain.com/search/?sfrom=&location=new+zealand

    thanks spoonboy90 - your suggestion would work technically but I don't want to have to update it manually everytime.

    Any suggestions support?
