We're excited to announce another round of great enhancements in the popular "Directory / Pages Plugin":

1) Linking to Facebook Page: Admins of Directory Items / Pages on your site can now link their Directory Items / Pages with their Facebook Pages from the "Marketing" section of Page Dashboard. With this enhancement:

• If Page Admins select the "Publish this on Facebook" option while posting their updates, then these updates will be published on their Facebook Profile as well as on the linked Facebook Page (This is dependent on the "Advanced Activity Feeds / Wall Plugin").
• Page Admins can display the "Facebook Like Box" for their linked Facebook Pages on their Directory Items / Pages on your site. This enables them to gain Likes for their Facebook Page from your website. This Like Box will also:

                  # Show the recent posts from their Facebook Page.
                  # Show how many people already like their Facebook Page.
                  # Enable people to Like their Facebook Page.

2) Browse by Locations (Location & Proximity based browsing and searching): If searching of Directory Items / Pages based on Locations is an important component of your site's idea, then you and your users are sure to love this enhancement:

• See demo: http://demo.socialengineaddons.com/pageitems/map .
• Enables users to easily and quickly find the relevant Directory Items / Pages around them.
• User's current location is detected automatically to display results around that. Users can also change the location as per their choice.
• Directory Items / Pages closest to the location appear first in search results sequence.
• Users can choose distance from location within which results should be returned in search.
• There is basic search and advanced search with more options.
• The "Locations" tab for this feature's page can be enabled in the main Pages Navigation Menu allowing members to easily search and browse Directory Items / Pages by location, proximity and various searching options available.
• The search results are attractively shown on map.
• From search results, members can easily get directions to Page locations from their current location or a location of their choice.

3) Getting Directions to Pages: Users can easily get directions to Page Locations by clicking on "Get Directions" link at various places. The entries in locations based searching mentioned above have this link. The "Map" tab of Directory Items / Pages has this link. This link can also be enabled to appear in the Info Tooltips in activity feeds from "Advanced Activity Feeds / Wall Plugin". The attractive Directions Lightbox has marker for Page location, and plotted directions on Map from user's current location. Slide-able instructions are also provided for directions. Users can change the starting location from which directions should be shown.

4) Branded Maps: All Maps from this plugin appear branded with your Site's Title on them.

5) Features from new "Geo-Location, Geo-Tagging, Check-Ins & Proximity Search Plugin": This new plugin provides many integration features for "Directory / Pages Plugin". Users can check-in into Pages using either a check-in button, or from their status update box. They can tag their photos with Pages. Pages checked-into are shown plotted on map on user profiles, and many more.

6) Category based entries in widgets: This enhancement increases the utility of various important widgets of this plugin. While placing these widgets at various locations from Layout Editor, you can choose a specific category for which entries should be shown in the widget for Directory Items / Pages as well as content from Extensions. Some such widgets for which category can be chosen are: "Ajax Based Recently Posted, Popular, Random, Featured and Sponsored Pages", "Sponsored Pages Carousel", "Featured Pages Slideshow", "Most Commented Pages", "Most Liked Pages", and many more.

We hope you and your communities will enjoy these enhancements. We have more exciting developments coming up. Stay tuned!
