Do you know of any components that will allow me to not only create a shaded area for a company's service area but allow a customer to enter a zipcode to see if you are in that service area and to give an option of not?
I guess your best bet would be a combination of the
map software from myjoom
with a radius search and Community Builder.
CB would give you the base data and display pins on the map that could then be clicked through to a profile page. You can see an example of that here -
churchdays.co.uk/
- just fill out a UK location such as Torquay and you will see normal usage.
If you wanted to have territories rather than a radius then this gets more complicated as there are no Joomla extensions that I am aware of that will work on boundaries. The nearest I have been to that was to simply create a regional map with svg graphics so it was responsive on mobiles. You can see that here -
churchcare.co.uk/shrinking-the-footprint...ractive-diocesan-map
I guess you could use the power of Geocode Factory 5 and CB to have a field for territory and then use the map to create a markerset for each so they are different colours like the Churchdays map.
The developer at myjoom is a very talented guy and when we did the Churchdays site he pretty much rewrote a lot of code for his extension as that site has over 17,000 entries in the directory. His silver subscription at €39 is worth it just to ask the questions to see if a search on boundaries could be done.
Hope this helps
