BuddyPress as a directory

While BuddyPress is a great go-to tool for “Social Media in-a-box”, 9seeds has used it successfully for several clients as a directory service.

I’ll show how BuddyPress memberships and profile extensions can be used to create an easily searchable directory. I’ll show two client examples of a national lawyer directory as well as a student / alumni directory for a university. If there’s time or interest, I can go deep into the customizations to show how we added custom searching, including GeoIP locations.
