User-Submitted Content

The Destinations Addon allows authenticated users to submit their own destinations through the API.

How Users Can Submit Destinations

Users with authenticated API access can:

1. Create new destinations using the API
2. Update their existing destinations
3. Delete their destinations (if not yet approved)

Reviewing and Approving Submissions

Review Process:

1. Navigate to Destinations in the admin panel
2. Look for destinations where Approved is unchecked
3. Review all submitted information:
   • Verify accuracy of contact information
   • Check that images are appropriate
   • Ensure content meets your standards
   • Verify location information
4. Make any necessary edits
5. Check the Approved checkbox
6. Ensure Enabled is checked if you want it visible immediately
7. Save

What Happens:

• Unapproved destinations are not visible to the public
• Once approved, destinations become visible (if also enabled)
• Users receive notifications when their submissions are approved or updated
