Lightweight Store Locator (Leaflet & OSM)
Introduction
Lightweight Store Locator adds a fast, privacy-friendly store finder to your Joomla site – based on Leaflet and OpenStreetMap, with no API key, no Google and no external libraries from a CDN.
Frontend module
- Search by postcode or town, or use the visitor’s current location
- Radius search with distance, results list and map markers
- Directions via Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap
- GDPR-friendly: the map is only loaded after consent (optional “remember my choice”)
- Full or compact layout, adjustable colours, map height and tile server
- Country names in the visitor’s language, optional country filter
Backend component
- Manage locations: create, edit, publish, search and filter
- Import CSV or Excel (XLSX) with preview: delimiters, character sets and column names are detected automatically – ideal for exports from a CRM
- Matching by external ID, plus a safety limit that stops imports which would remove too many locations
- Geocoding with OpenStreetMap Nominatim in several stages, from the exact address down to postcode or town
- On shared hosting, geocoding automatically continues in the browser if Nominatim throttles the server
- CSV export and a sample file with demo locations
Task plugin
Scheduled tasks import a file from the server (e.g. a nightly CRM export) and geocode new locations automatically
Package for Joomla 5 and 6 (component, module and task plugin), PHP 8.1+, GPL v2 or later. Language files in English and German.
