GD Radio Icons for GeoDirectory – Image & MP4 Category Tiles, Video Hover, Loop Control

Description

Overview

GD Radio Icons upgrades the native GeoDirectory category field into clean, visual tiles. Use images or short MP4 clips to convey meaning at a glance, reduce choice friction, and boost selection speed.

Features at a glance

• Image & MP4 tiles: Autoplay or Hover Effect
• Do-not-loop for subtle, non-distracting motion
• Admin UX: live thumbnail previews; one-click AJAX Save
• Per-category controls: Default Listing Image/MP4, Map Icon (image), Category Color, Schema Type
• Frontend: responsive grids, keyboard accessible, ARIA roles
• Legacy-safe: existing FA/SVG values still honored at render

Why it helps

Big, tappable visuals beat long text lists—especially on mobile. Motion (kept short) tells the story faster and improves clarity.

Compatibility

• WordPress + GeoDirectory (modern versions)
• Works with standard GD forms and most themes/builders

Best practices

• Keep clips short (1–3s), muted
• Use high-contrast category colors
• Provide meaningful alt text for images
