This is a store/dealership locator component. It is a simple component that allows you to link to it from a menu item, and then visitors can access it and enter their zip code and a search radius and it will return a list of stores or dealerships (locations) within the radius. The admin side allows you to edit your stores/dealerships, and upsert them (very basic capability) from a .csv file. One note is that the default zip/geo data that installs when you install the module is pretty old (its from free sources), so you may want to pay $5 ( cheapest I have found) to get a commercial, updated source of the data. However, to update the zip data, you will have to write the sql yourself ( although its just 3 columns so how hard could it be )
Its pretty much beta since I have only tested it myself, but it seems to be working enough for me to be using it on a public web site. I have only tested it with mambo 4.6.1. You install it via the standard universal installer in the admin area of mambo. This is my first component, and i think it could still be cleaned up a lot, but I hope folks can find it useful. Its under a standard GPL license.
