Hi there,
New to opencart but so far so good. Normally i use SilverStripe which is great for everything i do except eCommerce which opencart seems to do sweet.
I'm more a designer than developer so here's my question has anyone integrated Google maps with open cart? I've searched the forum and haven't seen anything, i was gonna follow the guide to writing a module on the wiki but it wasn't finished, so i was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.
Regards
Mick
Hi Mick,
I don't see how you would want to use them for hum-drum products, only for an about us page or something, where you can copy/paste the code almost straight from the Google Site

It was like that when I found it, honest!yes I'm curious as to what you would want a google maps module to do exactly.

Maybe the store is so big that a Google Maps is required to navigate the aisles...?
Or maybe it's not.
Or maybe it's not.

Get OpenCart Templates and OpenCart Modules.
The store is for an art gallery, so as well as selling online they want people to come visit. So i need to show where they are. Granted i could just put an image up, but it would be much nicer to link it in with Google maps.
I've looked at the code and got it to work but not as part of the site so i can navigate to http://www.mywebsite.com/map but the page is just the map and not enclosed in the site framework. When I've tried pasting the JavaScript on a page copied from one of the others like contact page it just displays the script as text.
There is probably a very easy way of doing this which is why most people don't understand my problem but as i said i'm not really a coder more a designer.

If only the store was so big it needed GM i might be able to get a decent fee

Yes this is a royal pain in the rear as the pages get posted to the database and any php or coding is not parsed, as its converted to its html equvilent, but where there is a will there is a way and the way is to eval() it and include an external page like this:
Open:
Code: Select all
./catalog/view/theme/default/template/information/information.tplCode: Select all
<div class="middle"><?php echo $description; ?>Code: Select all
<div class="middle">
<?php
eval('?>' . $description . '<?php ');
?>
Code: Select all
<?php
include_once("/path/to/site/dir/filename.php");
?>OpenCart really needs a wrapper function, so that extra pages can be wrapped more easily into the site.

What the TS means is that he wants to show a Google Map on the front end of his site so customers know where to go to visit his shop

I would think it should be very simple to create an information page and paste in the google embed code from their site.
also while eval() does work it can be dangerous. I wouldn't go around using it all the time if you don't have to.

I have a category of products that I changed to stores and service providers and want to display locations (multiple) for the search or category products ( now stores or services ) for those providers.
I see there is a plugin "Google Map for product v2", which places a map on the detail page, with a single location.
I am looking for a way to use the full functionality of the google maps api to connect to the lat long of the products (store or service provider location) in the category selected. Perhaps add an input in the product details in the admin?
I am more of a designer than coder, maybe a reference to someone who could do this for me.
Thank you.
Bryan.

Google maps is the powerful tool to get the direction of the place. moreover we can can embed a map onto a web page for Contact Page. it has great network connection where we can easily find out the perfect location where we want to go.
Just in case someone wants to different Google Maps locations in dialog boxes without needing a separate page for the map, I've created a module for that: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=2975

When I do that, there's nothing shown on the information page, just big white space where the map should be.Xsecrets wrote:I would think it should be very simple to create an information page and paste in the google embed code from their site.
