Notifications
The addon can send community notifications for GeoDirectory events. Notification toggles work independently of the activity toggles, so you can send a notification without also posting an activity, and the reverse.
Notification types
Section titled “Notification types”| Notification | Recipient | Setting | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Place | All members except the author | geodir_new_place_notification |
BuddyPress only |
| Place Review | The listing author and all administrators | geodir_review_notification |
BuddyPress and PeepSo |
| Marked Favorite Place | The listing author | geodir_mark_fav_notification |
BuddyPress and PeepSo |
See Configure Settings for where these toggles live.
BuddyPress notifications
Section titled “BuddyPress notifications”BuddyPress notifications are registered under the component bp_geodir_loc. Each notification links to the relevant listing (or the review section for reviews), and clicking it marks it as read.
- Mark as read is ownership-checked. A notification can only be marked read by the member it belongs to, and the request is nonce-verified.
- New place notifications are batched. Notifying every member on a large site would be slow if done during publishing, so the addon schedules a background job that notifies members in batches (200 per run by default) and re-schedules itself until everyone except the author has been notified. The batch size is filterable; see Hooks and Filters.
The recipient list for review notifications (listing author plus administrators) can be modified with the geodir_review_users_lists filter.
PeepSo notifications
Section titled “PeepSo notifications”PeepSo notifications are sent to the listing author for favorite and review events (the author is never notified about their own action).
- Notification links resolve to the listing (favorites) or the review comment (reviews).
- Clicking a notification marks it as read; the request is nonce-verified.
- There is no PeepSo “new place” notification. New place notification is a BuddyPress-only setting.
- Notification behavior is decided when hooks are registered on each request. Changing a toggle takes effect on the next page load, not retroactively.
