Was this information Helpful?

I have the location module installed to help me with maping and such. It seems a shame that I have to re-enter the information in for Ubercart. Perhaps you can add some integration so that if the Location module is detected it draws from the Location Database unless it is overwritten?

Just a thought. Smiling Thanks for such a great module!!!

Re: Location Module

Not exactly sure what information you're referring to here. What are you having to enter twice, and what info would you draw from the Location table?

Re: Re: Location Module

If we're talking about languages (?), it shouldn't be any difference between übercart and all the other modules in your ubercart installation. If you translate a string from drupal core and the corresponding string is in übercart, it should be possible to use that. However, you'll need to translate übercart yourself or look for a finished translation for your language.

ah lol. sorry. Of course you

ah lol. sorry.

Of course you meant this module: http://drupal.org/project/location

And you have registered data there and want an integration module like this one? http://drupal.org/project/ec_location

Re: ah lol. sorry. Of course you

I'd also like to cast my vote for an integration with location.module. While not perfect, it would seem like a good idea. But as this thread hasn't been updated in a while, I guess it's off the table, right?

Certainly haven't been thinking about this thread for a while, but address and address book @ checkout improvements are always on the backburner. Sticking out tongue

Re: Re: Re: ah lol. sorry. Of course you

I've always found the Country, Location support in Ubercart to be the best out of all the modules in Drupal. I've even used the code in Ubercart to create my own Country -> Region selectors outside of Ubercart projects...

This was until they released the Location 3.0 in Dec of 2008. I've been working on a project which while has an ubercart, is more so a CMS project. Location Module 3.0 is awesome. That combined with GMap Module, you can do some wonderful things.

Location now takes over as my favorite thing for addresses and locations, superseding ubercart.

I'd recommend taking a look and playing with the combination of Location and GMap module. I've played with it on D6 and it's great. I believe that it's good enough now, that it could (dare i say, should) be used as the address backend. It would give us a lot of extra features as well (views support, easy gmaps, any 3rd party stuff).

Not saying that we should jump into Location, but at least play around with it and see if you like it like I do. Been thinking it would be nice, if I could use it for Ubercart myself which is why I found this thread.

Thanks for the heads up, j0rd. We'll have to look into that for sure.

How is this going??

Hi, I have come across this thread because I want to use Ubercart role assignment on a product to register users on my site. Once they have paid they get access to 'My Account' page where they can enter a range of details and images to spruce up their listing. I want to be able to use the 'Location' module with 'Gmap' module for the obvious maping/directional benefits.

What I am needing is for users to not have to enter in their contact/address details multiple times and have their ubercart registration details be automatically sent to the 'My Account' Location details!!!

Is Ubercart able to do this as yet... please tell me it is so???

EDIT - I also need this for Drupal 6.13!

Thanks in advance

Cam

Re: How is this going??

You will have to write something custom to do this. Perhaps using form_alter and pre-filling the data from Location module into the Ubercart order form (or vice versa). Problem is I don't believe they use the same format, so you'll have to write something to translate between the two. Wouldn't be too hard....but a pain to keep synchronized.

How to use Gmap in profiles?

Thanks for your response j0rd.. I am wondering then is there another way that users can register on the site through the Ubercart role assignment and have their address details transferred to their 'My account' with the ability to use it to display a location/directional gmap on their profile page?

Hi, I am really looking

Hi,

I am really looking forward to have the address entered in the checkout synched with the location module.

The front-end functionality should be like: http://drupal.org/project/uc_addresses
But the address data should be in the location module format.

As my coding skills are insufficient to give it a try myself,
I would chip in some coins to support the development.

cheers,
Stefan

How about uc_location

uc_location: http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/13195

Does this accomplish what you're looking for? We just posted it yesterday. A drupal.org CVS account and project page are in the queue.

Note that it does not store names with the Location information at this time.

I've not tested the modules - yet - but this really sounds cool from the usability & business point of view!
