Email Notifications: Changing Pending Listing to Active & Suspending Listing

Currently, to send an activation email, the status has to be changed to "Active" outside of the listing form, in the main area under Content > Listings. This is cumbersome if we are inside a listing reviewing it, if we change the status to Active then save listing, an email DOES NOT go out to the user. This makes no sense. Suggestion: anywhere the listing is changed to “Active” status, the email should go our to sponsor/user. Currently, the platform does not automatically send an email to users when a listing is suspended or expired. Suggestion: when changing status to Suspended, an email should go out to user/sponsor so they know their listing was suspended. (This way they can reach out to us to find out why or we can explain in the automated email why).

AI Frontend Translation System with Smart Caching

Summary: Add an AI-powered translation feature that automatically translates all frontend system text into the visitor’s preferred language, while allowing users to manually translate published content such as listings, events, classifieds, articles, deals, reviews, and blog posts. Translations are cached for fast delivery and updated automatically when content changes. Introduce an integrated AI Frontend Translation System that makes every eDirectory site multilingual without manual translation packs. AI Translation for System Text Dynamically translates all frontend system text — menus, buttons, headings, forms, system static pages, and navigation elements — into the visitor’s language. Detects the user’s browser language automatically. Allows manual language selection through a dropdown. Caches translations for instant loading and reduced API cost. User-Triggered Translation for Published Content For user-generated content (listings, events, classifieds, articles, deals, reviews, and blog posts), a “Translate” button lets visitors choose whether to view that content in their language. When a visitor clicks translate, AI generates the translation and stores it in cache. Future visitors get the cached version instantly. If the original content changes, AI automatically checks and updates the translation before showing it. Smart Translation Cache & Maintenance Cache per language and per content item. Automatic refresh when system or content text changes. Admin control panel options to manually clear and rebuild translations. Admin Tools & Control Choose which languages to support. Manage API provider (OpenAI, DeepL, or Google Translate). View translation progress and override specific terms or phrases. SEO & Localization Benefits Optional SEO-friendly URLs for each language (e.g., /es/, /fr/). Automatically translates meta titles and descriptions. Benefits: Immediate multilingual accessibility for global visitors. No need for separate translation files or manual updates. Keeps system text current and accurate. Reduces translation costs through caching and smart refreshing. Greatly improves international SEO and user experience.

Event Dates

Could we have the ability to manually enter dates? or Have the ability to have multiple date/time combinations for a single event? For example, there is a musical performance that has several show times each day, runs Thursday through Sunday the first week and Thursday-Saturday the second week. Currently, this would require a separate event upload for each show time and since the dates are also not perfectly lining up, it would need to be redone for the second week. If we give the client 1 event posting in our listing package, they would not be able to promote their 1 event as it would require several listings to communicate the schedule. Also, the ability to “duplicate” an event and change minor details would be AMAZING. Ex. There is a monthly networking meeting, but every meeting has a theme, speaker, etc. With the ability to duplicate, the event could quickly be copied and customized.

Intelligent Search with Local Context Consulting

The e-directory already offers the classic, simple and direct search, similar to Google. However, to set it apart, it is possible to include a more advanced search mode as an option, which works like an intelligent advisor, using AI to interpret what the user is really looking for. Proposal Two search modes: Classic: direct keyword search (faster and more objective, for those who already know exactly what they want). Intelligent (Consultant): search with the help of AI, which interprets the user's intent and responds as if it were a local business consultant. How Consultant mode works The user describes their need in natural language (e.g. "I want a restaurant that's good for out-of-town guests, with a sophisticated atmosphere, but at an affordable price"). The e-directory's AI doesn't just list results, it contextualizes them: It indicates businesses that fit the profile. It explains the differentials of each option. Suggests alternatives or complementary services. Gives personalized recommendations like a consultant would. The difference with Google While Google returns links, the e-directory with intelligent consulting delivers personalized insights. The tone is one of professional advice, almost as if the user had hired a local business consultant. You can integrate information from the directory (reviews, photos, promotions, articles) with consultative analysis. Practical example Classic search: "bakery in Domingos Martins". Consultative search: "I need a bakery for family breakfasts at the weekend in Domingos Martins, with ample space and parking". The IA e-directory replies: "You could consider Padaria X, close to the center, known for its family atmosphere and its own parking lot. Another option is Confeitaria Y, which in addition to artisan coffees, offers a kids' area. For something more sophisticated, Padaria Z has special brunches on Sundays." 👉 So the feature doesn't replace the traditional search, but adds a premium and differentiated mode, which brings the e-directory closer to an intelligent consultant for local businesses.
