Django Outlets

A reusable Django app that allows you to manage and display your stores.

If you e.g. have different outlets, where you sell your products and those scattered across the world's surface, you can provide easy access to the customer about where they can find them.

The app includes simple management of countries and outlets and a google map integration. For integration into the great django-cms, see cmsplugin-django-outlets.

    # again just if you want cms integration add the following
    'cmsplugin_outlets',

Usage

If you want to use the map, that comes with the default tempalte and you override the template, keep in mind to to hook up the Google maps API and the django-outlets googlemap_outlets.js inside the template if you haven't added it globally already.

{% load static %}

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&language=en"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static "django_libs/js/maps.js" %}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static "outlets/js/googlemap_outlets.js" %}"></script>

Check the Google API docs for further information https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial?hl=de

To be able to display your outlets on the map, every Outlet needs to have the lat and lon field set properly.

To customize the info boxes, that appear, when you click on the map markers, you can override the template at outlets/outlet_map_marker.html.

When customizing the outlets/outlet_list.html template, please note the comments inside the template.

CMS3 integration

If you installed and added the cmsplugin-django-outlets app as described above, you can go ahead and create a page with the "Outlets Apphook" to it.

That's it.

For more details on apphooks refer to the django-cms v3.x documentation itself.

Template tags

get_outlet_countries

This tag loads all outlet countries from within a template.

Example:

{% load outlets_tags %}

{% get_outlet_countries as countries %}

<p>Visit our outlets in:</p>
<ul>
    {% for country in countries}
        <li><a href="{{ country.get_absolute_url }}">{{ country.name }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
