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)

See the API Reference section for endpoint details.

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
