Best Tough/Flexible Directory Solution that works with BuddyPress/Boss - Is it Plugin/Theme/CPT/ACF/Jet Engine?

[obelix]

Hello people,

Just wondering if you have found a really flexible and feature rich solution along the way?
I have spent months trying so many Directories out there and I'm always finding they finally have missing features.

The ones I have tested;
Are just not easy to fully customise in terms of look (built for elementor are better but can be basic)
The Database will be slow or break under pressure.
I also find missing logic in features.. like a user can only add a gallery with many images but only 1 video, etc

I keep coming back to trust GeoDirectory...but it seems they are very slow to add new features.

I need Buddypress integration with a 'multi vendor' booking system and a 'multi vendor' Woo marketplace.

Now I'm exploring ACF/Custom Post Type UI
and JetEngine
I'm getting hooked on the customisation angles possible.. is this the right way to go?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You should mention which directory solutions you already tried, now it's just a guess.
The plugin I like to work with is simply called Directories including the Pro version, which also has separate modules for front-end submissions, payments, and reviews.

Hi Frizzel
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm pretty sure I tested Directories Pro and what I saw lacking in that one for me was the ability to control how many videos a user level can embed/upload per listing?
It had a great slider feature to say how many Photos, but not for Video fields?
I did write to them but got no response.
Is that still the case in the level settings?
Big thanks

Frizzel, you were absolutely right!
I have throughly tested it now.
It's extremely flexible and very well done.
It works with ACF as well.

wondering how your research and development has gone. I'm in the same situation and wanting similar features.

I recently was looking at the Javo directory, because it has integration with Events Calendar, BuddyPress, and WooCommerce. What put me off is that they don't seem to have a Booking integration. JavoThemes has 4 different directory themes, so I'm actually not sure why they're not focussing on one?

Most recently looking at "Alliance | Intranet & Extranet WordPress Theme", because it has integration with

• BuddyPress
• Paid Memberships Pro
• rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
• The Events Calendar
• WooCommerce
• WP Job Manager
• LearnDash LMS
• LearnDash LMS – Course Grid
• WP Job Manager – Resume Manager

I want Multi-vendor functionality, so each Business member can manage their own products. I'm not sure yet if Alliance offers that integration.

I'm not sure why some of the plugins content doesn't directly appear on the BuddyPress profile page. ie) You can create a course in LearnDash, create a job in Job Manager, but neither are visible on the BP profile.
