常见问题:
Do I need a Google Maps API key?
No. Maps run on OpenStreetMap and work as soon as you activate the plugin. There's no Google account to create, no API key to paste in, and no billing setup.
Do I need any other plugins?
No. Everything the directory needs — members, categories, search, filtering and maps — ships in this one plugin. It works with any theme.
What happens to my data if I remove the plugin?
It's yours. Everything lives in your own WordPress database, and deleting the plugin removes its data cleanly — no orphaned tables left behind. Deactivating (rather than deleting) keeps all your data intact.
What shortcodes are available?
Directory Grid:
[viewwdi_directory]
Displays all members in a responsive grid with search and category filtering.
Attributes: columns (2 or 3, default 3), limit (number of members, default -1 for all), featured (true/false), show_search (true/false).
Category Sidebar:
[viewwdi_sidebar]
Renders a hierarchical category list. Clicking a category filters the directory.
Attributes: title (heading text), show_counts (true/false), show_all (true/false).
Featured Members:
[viewwdi_featured limit="6" columns="3"]
Quick shortcode for a featured members block.
All-in-One Layout:
[viewwdi_layout]
Renders the sidebar and directory grid in a responsive two-column layout. No page builder columns needed.
Attributes: all [viewwdi_directory] attributes plus show_sidebar (true/false), sidebar_title (heading text), show_counts (true/false).
How do I set up a two-column directory page?
The easiest way is to use [viewwdi_layout] — it renders the sidebar and grid side by side automatically.
Alternatively, place [viewwdi_sidebar] in a 30% left column and [viewwdi_directory] in a 70% right column using your page builder or theme layout. The sidebar links update the URL and the directory reads the URL parameter to filter automatically.
Can I customise the appearance?
Yes! Go to Directory > Design in the WordPress admin to customise colours, typography, and spacing. Changes apply to all directory pages, cards, and profiles.
How do featured members work?
Edit any member and check the "Mark as Featured Member" checkbox in the sidebar. Featured members appear first in the directory with a gold badge.
Does the plugin support subcategories?
Yes! Go to Directory > Categories, add a parent category (e.g. "Food & Beverage"), then add child categories (e.g. "Cafes", "Restaurants") with the parent set. The sidebar renders parent > children with an expand/collapse arrow.
更新日志:
- FIX: Member fields were invisible when adding or editing a member. Business Details, Contact Details, About, Social Media and Photo Gallery had been moved by the block editor into a collapsed panel at the bottom of the screen, so the edit screen looked empty and the fields only appeared if you happened to drag that panel open. Members now open in the classic editor, where every field shows straight away. Business Logo and Featured Member were never affected.
- FIX: The member title field read "Business NameAdd title". The label is now set through WordPress's own title-placeholder filter instead of a CSS pseudo-element that added to the placeholder rather than replacing it.
- IMPROVEMENT: WordPress.org listing rewritten — live demo and documentation links, Vieww-suite cross-links, Google-Maps-API-key and data-ownership FAQs, benefit-led short description.
- FIX: Directory → Settings appeared twice in the admin menu and rendered two stacked forms. The settings page was registered under the same slug in two places, and
add_submenu_page()does not deduplicate — it appends both menu items and binds both callbacks to the one hook. The Directory Page picker and the Enable-maps toggle are now a single page saved through one form.
- TESTED: Confirmed compatible with WordPress 7.0.
- NEW: WordPress.org listing now ships with screenshots — directory archive and single member profile. Screenshot captions rewritten to match.
- IMPROVEMENT: Plugin description and listing rewritten to focus on what site owners and visitors get out of the directory, rather than internal architecture.
- NEW: Plugin icon added.
- IMPROVEMENT: Single-member Location section now renders as a matching teal-headed card alongside Contact Details, instead of a flush, unstyled map below the contact panel.
- IMPROVEMENT: Member cards in the directory grid now align their "View Profile" button to the bottom regardless of contact-detail length, so cards in the same row sit flush.
- IMPROVEMENT: Empty-state copy across the directory archive is more conversational ("No members match your filters" / "Browse all members") with a heading + body + CTA layout.
- FIX: Addresses with both a unit keyword AND a slash (e.g.
Unit 5/123 Main St) no longer lose the street number during geocoding — the unit-prefix stripper now stops at the slash, so the trailing house number survives and Nominatim resolves to the actual street rather than the suburb centroid.
- Fix: Business Name was not syncing to the post title/slug in the block editor, leaving new members saved as "No title" with a numeric slug. The sync-to-title JavaScript was registered via wp_add_inline_script() on a hook callback that fired before the target script handle was registered, so the inline code was silently dropped. Bumped the inline-script callback priority so it runs after the main admin enqueue.
- Fix: Hardened the save_post handler's recursion guard against the edge case where an anonymous-closure callback could not be unhooked via remove_action() — now uses a static re-entrancy flag.
- Enhancement: Members saved with a numeric fallback slug (e.g. 9887) now get a proper slug generated from the Business Name on the next save.
- New: Added Directory → Settings admin page with an "Enable maps" toggle. When disabled, Leaflet, MarkerCluster, Nominatim geocoding, Photon address autocomplete, the map container, the admin-side map assets, and the Latitude/Longitude meta-box fields are all suppressed. Default is enabled for backward compatibility. Existing coordinate data is preserved when maps are disabled and restored if re-enabled.
- Internal release — superseded by 1.3.2.
- Rebranded from Next Point Directory to Vieww Directory
- All shortcodes renamed: np_sidebar to viewwdi_sidebar, np_directory to viewwdi_directory, np_featured to viewwdi_featured
- Automatic database migration from old plugin naming
- Added Design Settings admin page for visual colour/typography customisation
- Added featured member backfill on upgrade
- Full internationalization support
- WordPress.org coding standards compliance
- Security: proper nonce verification, input sanitisation, and output escaping throughout
- Initial release (as Next Point Directory)
- Custom post type for directory members with full business detail fields
- Hierarchical business categories with parent/child support
- Three shortcodes: sidebar, directory grid, featured members
- Logo and photo gallery uploads
- Search and category filtering via URL parameters
- Responsive grid layout
