What it does

Reviews collected on a directory usually stay on the directory. Business owners often want to show those ratings on their own sites, and visitors there have no easy way to see them. This add-on solves that by generating embed code for a ratings badge, similar in idea to the rating widgets travel review sites offer. The badge displays live ratings from a GeoDirectory listing, so the numbers shown on the external site match what your directory holds.

As the directory admin, you decide who can generate embed codes: the public, logged-in users or only listing owners. You can also lock design settings to keep badges consistent or let users adjust the style to fit their site. Custom branding images or text can be added so each badge points back to your directory's identity. The badge checks whether Font Awesome is loaded on the host site and uses those star icons, or falls back to lightweight HTML stars. Widget assets can be served from a CDN to reduce load on your server.

Features

Live ratings badge

Embed real-time ratings from GeoDirectory listings on external websites, so business owners can display current review scores from your directory on their own pages.

Customizable badge design

Users can adjust the widget's style to match the look of the website where the badge appears, when the directory admin allows it.

Admin control over styling

Directory administrators can lock design options for consistent branding or grant users the freedom to change them as they see fit.

Selective embed code access

Choose who can generate embed codes, whether that is the public, logged-in users or only the owners of each listing.

Font Awesome detection

The badge detects whether Font Awesome is present on the host site and uses its star icons, otherwise switching to lightweight HTML star icons.

CDN support for assets

Widget assets can be offloaded to a content delivery network, which reduces the resources your own server spends serving badges to other sites.

Directory branding options

Add custom branding images or text to the widget so every embedded badge carries your directory's name or logo.

Questions about GeoDirectory Embed

Does this work without GeoDirectory?

No. It is an add-on for the GeoDirectory plugin and requires GeoDirectory to be running on your directory site. The badges it creates pull ratings from your GeoDirectory listings.

Can I stop just anyone from creating embed codes?

Yes. You can limit embed code generation to the public, logged-in users or listing owners only, depending on how much control you want over where badges appear.

Will the badge match the look of the site it is placed on?

It can. Users can customize the badge style if you allow it, and it detects Font Awesome on the host site to use matching star icons, falling back to lightweight HTML stars when Font Awesome is not loaded.

Are the ratings on the badge kept current?

Yes. The badge shows live ratings from the GeoDirectory listing, so when new reviews come in on your directory, the embedded badge reflects them.
