Working with cities

The add-on supports working with both manually created cities and automatically created ones. It also integrates perfectly with the “Cities” add-on from CS-Cart, ensuring seamless interaction.

To set up cities manually:

1. Follow these steps: Administrator panel → Settings → Geolocation from SypexGeo. Cities.

2. On this page, you can add location information or create your own cities. It has the following settings:

   • City – displays the buyer’s city, created by you or automatically.

   • Additional text – explanation of the city. Here you can enter information about the availability of stores, delivery features or the absence of stores. You can use any html tags in this field.

   • Link – substitute another domain\subdomain for this city, for example https://admsterdam.site.com or https://site.com/amsterdam (it is important to add http:// or https://). The current request parameters will be saved.

   • Show additional text in the notification after selecting a city – when you select this city, a notification with the item “Additional text” will be displayed

   • Show additional text in a separate block – you can place a block with city information anywhere on the site. If the checkbox is selected, “Additional text” of this city will be displayed in the “MS: City Information” block.

   • Show city in the selection list – display the city in the city selection block. If the checkbox is selected, “City” will be displayed in the list of cities in the “MS: Customer location” block.

   • Delete - activate this checkbox if you want this city to be deleted when you click the Save button.

     

These settings are also present in the “Cities” table from CS-Cart.

3. After completing these settings, click the Save button for the changes to become active.

   

As a result, a pop-up window will appear with an automatically determined city, and the activated blocks will be displayed on the showcase
