Report

Our company uses Joomla for alot of it's backend CMS implementations and they are usually customized with all kinds of custom modules, extensions and components. A recent client of ours had an existing site where they had a home grown zipcode locator written in ASP. Well, since we were porting everything over to Joomla, we decided to see what was out there and available that we didn't have to develop ourselves. That's when we came across Xtreme Locator.

We were very impressed with the loads of functionality that comes out of the box on the administration side. We were even able to build a custom search page totally integrated into our client's site and you would never know it was iframed in. I just want to say thanks for the guys at Xtreme Locator for also implementing a few of the mods we requested for additional functionality. The point is simple, until a better locator package comes out for Joomla (which I doubt will happen), I'm sticking with these guys.

This looks like it is a fantastic script but the draw back is the cost! The fees make it not worth the time to even try the demo.
Ok, so if you want to host it on your own site, forget it... it costs more than getting a site developed!

Nice tabbed interface in search results, but also opens in a new window when searching by zipcode (doesn't load via the joomla URL structure).

I think they ported this to Joomla and left out some of the main things that would make it a viable choice, like a reasonable price!!!

Our hosted service pricing starts at $11.00 per month which is quite affordable.

The Joomla! component has two options: 1) Deployment in iFrame within the Joomla! structure and 2) Open search results in a new window.
