The Recommendations module is a community business directory. Residents can browse local businesses by category, read reviews written by their neighbors, and submit their own reviews. Administrators manage the categories, business listings, and individual reviews, and can choose whether submissions require approval before appearing on the site.
Getting There
- Log in to your site with an administrator account.
- Click Administer Site in the top navigation bar.
- In the left-hand menu, click Modules, then select Recommendations.
The Four Tabs
Once inside the module, you will see tabs across the top of the page.
Categories
This is the default view. It lists all the categories you have created to organize businesses — for example, "Plumbers," "Landscapers," or "Restaurants." Click any category name to edit it or to see the businesses inside it.
Businesses
A flat list of every business in the directory, across all categories. Use the filters at the top to narrow by category or by approval status.
Reviews
A flat list of every review submitted across all businesses. Use the filters to narrow by business or by approval status.
Settings
Controls site-wide module behavior: the module title, who can access it, approval rules, introductory text, confirmation messages, and admin email alerts. This tab is only visible to administrators with a group level of 90 or higher.
Location Requirement
Before residents can look up businesses in your area, you must set a community location. If no location is configured, a notice will appear on the Categories screen with a link to set one.
Note: Navigate to Administer Site > Location > Address to set your community's location if you have not done so already.
