Vieww

Vieww Directory is a WordPress business directory plugin for industry associations, chambers of commerce, business networks, clubs and community marketplaces. Add members in seconds — name, contact details, photos, categories, location — and visitors browse, filter and find them in a searchable directory with an interactive map.
You add a member, choose a category, drop a shortcode into a page — and that’s it. No page builder, no add-ons, no fuss.
What your visitors get:
<ul>
<li>A clean, searchable directory of every member</li>
<li>Filter by category, search by name or keyword</li>
<li>A profile page for each member with logo, photo gallery, contact details and a map of where to find them</li>
<li>A featured-members showcase to spotlight your top supporters</li>
</ul>
What you get:
<ul>
<li>Add a member in under a minute — name, contact details, photos, done</li>
<li>Hierarchical categories so you can organise members the way they actually fit</li>
<li>Featured members get a gold badge and the top of the list</li>
<li>Pick your own colours, fonts and spacing from a single design panel</li>
<li>A grid layout that looks great on phones, tablets and desktops</li>
<li>Built-in maps for member locations (or turn maps off site-wide if you’d rather not use them)</li>
</ul>
Shortcodes you can drop into any page or layout:
<ul>
<li><code>[viewwdi_directory]</code> — the full directory grid with search and category filters</li>
<li><code>[viewwdi_layout]</code> — directory grid with the category sidebar in a two-column layout</li>
<li><code>[viewwdi_featured]</code> — a row of your featured members</li>
<li><code>[viewwdi_sidebar]</code> — just the category navigation (works in widget areas too)</li>
</ul>
Requirements:
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.6 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to a small number of free, optional external services. Each is described below along with when it is used and what data is sent.
<h4>Google Fonts API</h4>
Used to load web fonts chosen in the Design Settings. Only occurs when a Google Font (as opposed to a system font) is selected in Directory > Design > Typography.
<ul>
<li>URL: https://fonts.googleapis.com</li>
<li>When used: Only when a Google Font is selected in Design Settings (off by default — system fonts are the default)</li>
<li>Data sent: The names of the selected font families (e.g. “Inter”, “Poppins”). No personal data or site data is transmitted.</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/terms</li>
</ul>
If you prefer not to use Google Fonts, simply leave the heading and body font selectors set to a System Font — no external requests will be made.
<h4>Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) geocoding</h4>
Used to convert a member’s address into latitude/longitude coordinates so the listing can be shown on the directory map. Runs on the server when a member is saved in the WordPress admin, and in the browser when an admin clicks the “Geocode Now” button on a member edit screen.
<ul>
<li>URL: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search</li>
<li>When used: Only on the admin side — when a member is saved with a new/changed address, or when the “Geocode Now” button is pressed in the Business Details meta box. No lookups run on the front-end.</li>
<li>Data sent: The member’s street address, suburb, state, postcode, and the country string “Australia”. No personal data beyond the business address.</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy</li>
<li>Terms of use: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/</li>
</ul>
Leaving the latitude/longitude fields filled manually in the member edit screen prevents any Nominatim request from being sent for that member on save.
<h4>Photon (komoot.io) address autocomplete</h4>
Used to show a real-time address suggestion dropdown in the admin while typing into the Street Address field. Selecting a suggestion populates the suburb, state, postcode and coordinates at once.
<ul>
<li>URL: https://photon.komoot.io/api/</li>
<li>When used: Only on the admin side — while an editor is typing into the Street Address field of a member. Requests stop if the user stops typing or clicks elsewhere. No lookups run on the front-end.</li>
<li>Data sent: The partial address text the user is typing, plus a geographic bias toward Australia. No personal data, no site data.</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://www.komoot.com/privacy</li>
<li>Service info: https://photon.komoot.io/</li>
</ul>
If you prefer not to use Photon autocomplete, simply ignore the suggestions and type the address manually — no suggestions will be acted on unless you click or Enter one.
