Reign ships a dedicated reign-geodirectory addon that is literally a bridge between GeoDirectory and BuddyPress. Concrete integrations that match your requirements one-to-one:
- A My Places tab on member profiles with a configurable layout option, so every member has their submitted places visible on their own profile
- BuddyPress activity generation for three GeoDirectory events: new places, favorite places, and place reviews — so the community feed fills with location events automatically
- A notification system for new places and place reviews, so submitters are pinged when their listings get attention, which is exactly the engagement loop you described
- Favorite place marking with activity generation, so tapping Favorite on a place also feeds the community stream rather than being a silent bookmark
- PeepSo compatibility for the single place UI, a clean location categories UI, and Youzify place icon compatibility if you use Youzify profiles instead of vanilla BuddyPress
Honest limits: the addon handles the community-side bridge and UI. Map providers, paid GeoDirectory extensions, and core listing logic remain with GeoDirectory. The addon is WPCS-compliant across all files if your team reviews code before rollout on a production tourism site.
