Store Locator ComponentModule

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
Place a Store Locator on your website using the power of Google Maps. Allow your visitors to search for nearby locations and see them visually on a Map. You have the ability to specify unlimited Locations easily in the Joomla! Administration area. Your locations don't have to be stores, they can be anything you want. The Joomla Store Locator also provides directions via Google Maps. Visitors can search by any location that Google Maps can understand. This component is ideal to be used as a Dealer Locator, a Store Locator, an ATM / Branch Locator, a Member Locator or just about anything you can think of listing on a map in Joomla. Great for Stockists and other retail locations such as restaurants, transit systems, and points of interest.

Didn't work out of the box; there was a minor programming issue that was relatively easy to fix. Considering that Google provides most of the complex code used in this extension, it seems overvalued. What really gets me though is that Sysgen Media just spammed the PayPal account used to make the purchase. There's an unsubscribe link, but prepare to be added to their mailing list without explicitly subscribing.
Owner's reply

Each purchase of the Store Locator includes a 6 month support subscription so we would be happy to help you with any issues you may have.

We have helped anyone who has contacted us to get their Store Locator working on their site. Can you please let us know what the minor programming issue was so that we may improve our future releases?

I found this component easy to use. It does everything it says it does. I had a small issue with batch geocoding, but went to the support forum, registered and created a forum post. Within a very short time I heard from Jared (Chief Executive Officer
Sysgen Media LLC) He personally determined that my PHP ini had been set allow_url_fopen to false or off. This will disable PHP from accessing remote URLs such as google.

I set the following directive in my PHP ini file:
allow_url_fopen = On

This fixed the problem and

I highly recommend this product and Sysgen Media LLC
