# Submitting a Listing

 * I have set up 6 different fee levels for my directory and have been doing some
   testing. When a user wants to submit a listing, they check the category of listing
   based on their type of business and it gives the information as my field “type
   of business”.
    The next screen is the fee/upgrade selection: i.e. basic, regular,
   premium. I have indicated different levels in the field display access. However,
   when I select basic listing, some of the levels of the premium listing still 
   appear ready to be filled out. I thought that managing restrictions was supposed
   to provide only the fields that went with that listing level. Am I using categories
   incorrectly at the beginning and they need to be tied to my fee levels? If so
   I have misread something somewhere – Can someone point me in a direction? Thanks.

 * Hi eonelson,
 * First, I presume that you’ve gone through our documentation about Featured levels
   and getting that straight first. If not, please see this here and read it thoroughly,
   as it explains how to set things up in a way that keeps it straight and avoid
   confusion to the users during posting: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/#premium-featured](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/docs/#premium-featured)
 * If you’ve already done that and you’re still having issues, I need to see a couple
   of specific screenshots:
    1) Screenshot of your Manage Restrictions section (
   specifically the fields) 2) Screenshot of your fee plans 3) Screenshot of what
   you see on a listing after posting (and which fee plan that listing is attached
   to)

 * Thanks for the quick follow-up. Yes I’ve read it several times and know I don’t
   quite understand it. When things start to get three-dimensional for me, I have
   a hard time following. Now doing the screen shots I can see I’m missing something,
   but not sure what it is and how to change it. Maybe I’m making things too complicated.

 *  But what I want is several levels of postings, each having a bit more information
   than the last — however if I do several price listings — i.e. the first one is
   free: name, company, city — the second $10: name, company,phone, email, city,
   state — the third allowing all info including google maps, website and face book—
   I figured I had to do something with the featured in order to make that work —
   that is where I’m getting confused on what works with what.
 * I’ve attached screen shots.

 * OK, I think I see the confusion now.
 * Everything looks great configuration wise. You have everything setup the way 
   it should be. I think the confusion here is that the Submit Listing form is showing
   fields you think should be hidden. We debated this point when creating the module
   and maybe we should revisit it.
 * We collect all information on the form (right now–including fields you’re not
   displaying like Business Website for a Basic listing) but only display what you
   allow when the listing is complete (which is exactly what you see–no Business
   Website link on the screenshot of the listing view). I’m thinking maybe this 
   is too confusing and we should limit the view on the Submit form to only show
   allowed fields.
 * Let me discuss this with my developer and get back to you.
