Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Longitude and Latitude needed?

Do i need to have longitude and latitude for the import .csv file or is it enough to have the adress and country to display the stores on the map?

Dear Magnusson,

iStoreLocator requires the Latitude and Longitude coordinates to display the locations on the map, however if you don't have it you can remove the columns entirely or set the value to 0 (the number zero) and then in the plugin settings, under the Location List tab, you can click on the "Get Missing Coordinates" button. This feature will use Google Maps API to search for the coordinates for you. Google has a limit of 2500 geocoding requests per 24 hours. If you reach that limit you may try again in 24 hours to finish it;

Also, Google Maps API does a very good job finding the coordinates for the given addresses, however it might not recognize a few addresses depending on the spelling or sometimes a non conventional abbreviation is used, in this case you must search for coordinates and update the file manually.

Best regards,
