Here is a typical workflow for the "business directory" feature in a Django project like yours:

1. Business Directory Model Setup

• Define models for businesses (e.g., name, address, category, description, contact info, etc.) in models.py.
• Optionally, add models for categories, tags, or reviews.

2. Admin and Data Management

• Register business models in admin.py for admin CRUD.
• Use Django admin to add/edit/delete business entries.

3. Views and URLs

• Create views in views.py for:
  • Listing all businesses (with optional filters/search).
  • Viewing business details.
  • Adding/editing businesses (if user permissions allow).
• Define URLs in urls.py for these views.

4. Templates

• Create templates for:
  • Business list (e.g., business_list.html)
  • Business detail (e.g., business_detail.html)
  • Business form (for add/edit, if needed)

5. Permissions and Access

• Restrict add/edit/delete to staff or authenticated users as needed.
• Allow public or limited access to business listings.

6. Integration

• Link to the business directory from navigation menus or relevant pages.
• Optionally, add business directory widgets or featured businesses to other templates.

7. Testing and Deployment

• Test all views, forms, and permissions.
• Deploy changes and migrate the database.

Here’s an explanation of the models in your business_directory app:

1. BusinessCategory

• Represents categories for business listings (e.g., Restaurant, Hotel).
• Fields: name (EN), name_vi (VN), slug, description (EN/VN), icon, parent (for subcategories), is_active, sort_order, translation status, and timestamps.
• Methods: display name/description by language, translation check, get URL, count of approved businesses.

2. BusinessListing

• Represents an individual business.
• Fields: business_name (EN/VN), slug, category (FK), owner (FK to User), descriptions (EN/VN), contact info, address, business hours, social media, amenities, subscription type, status, verification, SEO fields, analytics, translation status, and timestamps.
• Methods: display name/description/short description by language, translation check, get URL, formatted address.

3. BusinessImage

• Stores images for a business listing.
• Fields: business (FK), image file, caption, is_primary, sort_order, uploaded_at.
• Used for business galleries.

4. BusinessReview

• Stores user reviews for a business.
• Fields: business (FK), reviewer (FK to User), rating (1-5), title, review text, is_verified, timestamps.
• Ensures one review per user per business.

5. BusinessClaim

• Handles requests by users to claim ownership of a business listing.
• Fields: business (FK), claimant (FK to User), claim reason, verification document, status (pending/approved/rejected), timestamps.

Each model is designed to support a robust, multilingual business directory with user interaction, moderation, and business management features.

Here’s an explanation of the main views in your business_directory app:

1. BusinessListView

• Lists all approved businesses, with search and filter options (query, category, city).
• Paginates results and provides categories and search form in context.

2. BusinessDetailView

• Shows details for a single approved business.
• Increments the view count each time the page is loaded.
• Provides business reviews, images, and the primary image in context.

3. BusinessCreateView / BusinessUpdateView / BusinessDeleteView

• Allow authenticated users to create, update, or delete their own business listings.
• Show success messages and redirect appropriately.

4. MyBusinessesView

• Lists all businesses owned by the current user.

5. CategoryDetailView

• Shows details for a business category and lists businesses in that category.
• Supports search and city filter within the category, with pagination.

6. business_image_upload / business_image_delete

• Allow business owners to upload or delete images for their listings.

7. business_directory_home

• Homepage for the business directory.
• Shows featured and recent businesses, categories, and a search form.

8. increment_phone_clicks / increment_website_clicks

• AJAX endpoints to increment analytics counters for phone and website clicks.

9. business_translation_status / update_business_translation

• Views for business owners to manage and update the Vietnamese translation status of their listings.

10. get_business_categories_api

• API endpoint returning active business categories (for use in forms or AJAX).

These views together provide listing, detail, CRUD, image management, analytics, translation management, and API support for the business directory.
