This feature really makes sense and will be very useful.
Using the customer's location is also a good idea, so we will need to consider all possible options.
We could plan it for our next sprint after the holidays and a realistic release date would be around 10-15 January. But I will be able to provide more information after the holidays when the whole team is back in the office.

Hope this would work for you!

Yes, you are right. That's what we need. We need to show 3 nearest shops according to the search keyword or current user location. 

Is it possible for your team to implement this function in the plugin? Will it be implemented very soon if possible?

Thank you.

My project requires a search box to enter the location, say London, and the result will return all the shops in London. The search is within the shops stored in our database.

We need the search box similar to the Google Map search box shown in the demo - AllShops page, but the search is on the map itself, but not the shops we have in our database, right?


Please note that we don't keep the actual address in the database. We keep only the coordinates of the stores. So in order to do this you need to use the Google Maps API.
I guess that you would like to let users enter their city i.e London and then you want to show all shops near London (which probably needs to be a setting i.e 25 km distance). Please let me know if this would work for you.

How exactly do you want to search for the shops?
In the current version of the plugin we don't have any search functionality. But if there is demand for searching the stores then we can consider implementing it. So it is up to you to provide us with more information of how you would like the search functionality to work.

Hi,

I am very new to nopCommerce and also Microsoft MVC. I have some questions regarding the Nop Store Locator.

(1)I have just installed the trial version, and enabled both setting (enable as widget and enable). I also added two shops from Manage Shops, but I couldn't see the additional menu that shows All Shops. 
How do I get the All Shops menu?

(2) I am also using Nop Categories Header Menu. Will the All Shops menu be added? Also, am I right to just replace the SevenSpikes.Core folder to the later?

(3) Is it possible for me to add a HTML content in home page, and add a search box to search for shops with this plugin?

Thanks in advanced for your advice.

regards,
Lee Ka

Hi, 

1(2). The Categories Header Menu needs a widget zone in order to show ALL SHOPS. You need to go to this file:
\Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.CategoriesHeaderMenu\Views\CategoriesHeaderMenu\CategoriesHeaderMenu.cshtml
and add this row before </ul>.

@Html.Widget("header_menu_after")

2. Yes, you can replace the Core folder with the latest - this will not brake any of your plugins.

3. Yes, but you must create your own controllers with custom code, which search through the shops. The plugin does not have such functionality out of the box.
