Store Locator - Viewing and Linking To

Overview

This page explains how to view your store locator page. It also explains how to link to your store locator page from your storefront page.

URL to your Store Locator Page

Squirrelcart has built in features to link to your store locator page, which are described in the sections below. If you prefer to have the URL so you can link to that page yourself, the default query string URL is:

http://www.example.com/store.php?sl=1

If you are using our SEO URLs feature, the default URL is:

http://www.example.com/store.php/store-locator

If you are using our SEO URLs (Advanced) feature to hide your storefront page from URLs, the URL is:

http://www.example.com/store-locator

Linking to Your Store Locator Page

If you do not already have a link to your store locator page, you will need to add one in the control panel.

Adding a Link to Your Store Locator Page

You can add a link to your store locator page using Squirrelcart's Links feature. For more information on this feature, please see the Customizing > Themes > Links section of this documentation.

Adding a link to your storefront page is a two part process. First, you must create the Link record to define the link itself. Then, you must add that link to your storefront page.

  1. Click the Settings > Themes link in your control panel:

  2. Click the Links link. A table will appear showing all the Link records in your database.
  3. You may already have a Store Locator Links record in the table. If you see one, click anywhere on it's row to edit it. If you do not see one, click the button to open a new record.
  4. Set the Name field to Store Locator
  5. If you want the label to read something other than Store Locator, enter a different value in the Label field, otherwise leave that field blank.
  6. Set the Link To field to store locator page
  7. Click the Save Changes button.
  8. Now that you have created the link record for your store locator page, you will need to add it to your storefront page. This topic explains how to do this.

If you have trouble getting your store locator page link to appear, contact our support department and we can assist you.
