Featured, Homepage Enhanced Listings & Packages

First off…For being a PAID theme, I find it unbelievable you are unable to add your own Enhanced listing features or have some more customization. A free listing plugin I’ve used in the past has allowed this… But maybe I’m seeing something wrong, so maybe someone can help explain. I will tell you what I’m trying to do:
I have 3 Packages:
FREE listings – which get no featured or homepage exposure
Premier listings – which get a spot on the homepage under a Primer Listing Title
Featured Listings – which gets a spot under a Featured listing title

However, in the package features when you set it up under Listing Enhancements I only see a Front Page Exposure option, NO featured listing option. But when you are adding a listing from the admin, there is a Featured listing option. I do not want this option available for for a user signing up for the Premier or Free listings. That doesn’t seem to be the case.

Since this doesn’t seem to be very customizable, I was going to set it up so that the Front Page Exposure is really the Premier Listings, so on the homepage I used the following code: [LISTINGS meta_key=frontpage&meta_value=yes&post_type=listing_type&posts_per_page=10] However, the featured listings are showing up also, not just the chosen frontpage enhanced. I cannot seem to put in the right code to remove the featured listing.

For the featured listings section I was using [LISTINGS orderby=”post_title” order=”desc” grid=”no” featuredonly=”yes”] which worked perfectly and only shows the featured listing.

I hope it makes sense what I’m trying to do and hope someone out there can provide me with some answers and or direction.
