## 外掛說明

**GeoBuddy** is a powerful enhancement plugin built specifically for users of GeoDirectory.

It helps you extend your directory website with modern social media integration,
virtual tours, and a growing ecosystem of advanced addons — all designed to improve
user engagement and listing quality.

Built by BuddyDevelopers, GeoBuddy acts as a **foundation plugin** that enables 
additional premium and free addons to seamlessly integrate with your GeoDirectory-
powered website.

Whether you’re building a local directory, niche marketplace, or global discovery
platform, GeoBuddy gives you the tools to stand out.

### Core Features

### 🌐 Social Media Fields for Listings

Add modern social media profile links directly inside GeoDirectory listings:

 * YouTube Profile
 * LinkedIn Profile
 * WhatsApp
 * TikTok Profile

Enhance credibility and improve user engagement by allowing visitors to connect 
instantly.

### 🎥 Virtual Tour Integration

Allow businesses to embed:

 * 360° Virtual Tours

Perfect for restaurants, hotels, real estate, gyms, clinics, and more.

### 🗂️ Site Templates — One-Click Demo Importer

GeoBuddy includes a built-in **Site Templates** tab inside the Settings panel. It
lets you browse and import ready-made, fully functional GeoDirectory demo sites 
in just a few clicks.

**What gets imported:**

 * Required theme (auto-installed and activated)
 * Required plugins (auto-installed and activated)
 * Pages and content via WXR import
 * Page builder data (Elementor or Block Theme)
 * GeoDirectory categories, listings, and reviews
 * GeoDirectory settings
 * Navigation menus and homepage assignment

**Import modes:**

 * **Additive** — Adds the template content alongside your existing site. Safe for
   testing.
 * **Full Reset** — Replaces all existing content with the template. Requires confirmation.
   Cannot be undone — always back up first.

**Free vs Premium templates:**

 * Free templates are available to everyone — no account needed.
 * Premium templates require an active **GeoBuddy Bundle Membership** license.
 * Enter your license key directly in the Templates tab to unlock premium demos.

### ⚡ Lightweight & Developer Friendly

## 常見問題集

### Does GeoBuddy work without GeoDirectory?

No. GeoBuddy requires the GeoDirectory plugin to function.

### Is this plugin lightweight?

Yes. GeoBuddy is optimized for performance and follows WordPress development standards.

### Are addons included in the main plugin?

Some features are included, while advanced functionality is available via separate
addons.

### Is it developer-friendly?

Yes. Developers can extend and customize functionality using WordPress hooks and
filters.

### What is the Site Templates feature?

The Site Templates tab lets you import pre-built GeoDirectory demo sites directly
from your WordPress admin. It handles everything — theme, plugins, pages, GeoDirectory
data, and menus — in a single guided import flow.

### Do I need a license to use templates?

Free templates are available to everyone. Premium templates require an active GeoBuddy
Bundle Membership license, which you can enter directly in the Templates tab.

### Will importing a template overwrite my existing site?

Only if you choose **Full Reset** mode. The default **Additive** mode adds the template
content alongside your existing site. Full Reset permanently removes all existing
posts, pages, and media — always back up before using it.

### What page builders are supported for templates?

Currently Elementor and Block Themes (native WordPress Full Site Editing) are supported.
