Branch Finder

The Branch Finder plugin is the perfect plugin to display your branches. The locations are marked on Google Maps map with the well-known sign and by clicking on the same, an information box with the data of the branch opens.

Features:

The following company data is displayed in the info box:

• Name of the company
• Department
• City
• Postcode
• Street and house number
• State
• Phone number
• E-mail
• URL

Configuration:

Basic setting

• Basic Settings Plugin: Settings> System > Plugins > Configuration (three items).
• Google API Key: You need the API Key, because some time ago Google changed the use of its map service Google Maps. Since then you need a so-called Api Key to display maps. Without this key only an error message is displayed instead of a map.
• Google Cloud Platform: You can get the Api Key from your Google account on the Google Cloud Platform: https://console.cloud.google.com. The Google API Key is entered directly via the plugin.
• Google Maps starting point: View when calling the page
• Set default settings: Basic settings for the map view

Administration

• Administration: The administration of the branches is done via a link of the same name in the navigation. You can create any number of stores there. These then appear in a list and can be edited or deleted at any time.
  
• Company data: You create the above-mentioned data at this point for the branches. In addition, the branches are positioned on the map with longitude and latitude.
  
• Coordinates: Longitude and latitude can be determined with Google Maps. To do this, click with the right mouse button on the desired address and select the option "What is here". The address with the coordinates is displayed at the bottom of the page.

• Extend your domain with "/store-locator".
