Geospatial Website

This module extends the website with two public web addresses (endpoints) that a frontend map or search widget can call to get store information.

• One endpoint returns search suggestions: it collects distinct store names, cities, postal codes, street addresses and category tags, and filters them by the text the visitor types.
• The other endpoint returns matching stores as geospatial points (longitude and latitude) together with their name, address, tags and opening hours.

Only contacts of type 'store' are searched. The search is limited to a set of allowed fields (name, city, zip, street, street2 and tag); any other field raises an 'Unauthorized field' error. If the number of matching stores exceeds the maximum requested (default 200), the endpoint returns a 'Too many results' message instead of the list.

A new 'Opening hours' text field is added to contacts so each store can show its opening times. The endpoints are public and allow cross-origin calls, so they can be used by an external map application. The module touches the res.partner model and depends on the geospatial base module, the website and the partner store module.
