Support for map based directories & new blocks

We've shipped a big batch of map work - from the create-site wizard, to category pages, to two new blocks. If you're building a location-led directory, please read on.

✨ New: pick your map shape in the wizard

When you choose Map as your layout in the create-site wizard, you now get one extra question - How should visitors explore the map? This provides four ready-made shapes to choose from:

  • One map of everything - a single searchable map on the homepage, plus content, browse-by-category stripes, and an About page

  • Browse by location first - same homepage, but the lead block is a Location Explorer (country → city → map) instead of the full map

  • Landing page + map page - a marketing-style homepage built around a guided search panel; the map lives on its own page and the panel takes visitors there with their filters pre-applied.

  • A map page per category - per-category cards, featured listings, and Map + Index category pages so every top-level category has its own map view.

All four require google map keys which are requested on set up, if using the wizard or can be added to the new integrations page if not.

✨ New: Category page display

A new project-wide toggle on the Categories page lets every category render either as:

  • List (default) - the familiar paginated grid of listing cards.

  • Map + index - a full-width Item Map of the category's listings followed by a paginated, SEO-friendly Item Index beneath.

Map + Index is hidden unless your project has Google Maps configured and an address field with geocoding enabled.

✨ New block: Item Index

A minimal, paginated A–Z grid of listings - title and intro only, four columns by default. No filters, no search, no sort UI. Designed for SEO indexability with ?page=N pagination URLs that crawlers can follow. Pair it with an Item Map to give visitors visual exploration and search engines crawlable structure on the same page.

🚀 Improved: Item Map

  • Now available on category pages (top and bottom areas) in addition to the homepage, custom pages, and section blocks.

  • Plays nicely with the new Category Page Display setting
