Stores additional info

[yarons]

I think it could be a nice idea to include the actual location of the store (using OSM etc.) but it's quite niche.

Other important details that I think can really improve the listing is working hours (can be parsed from OSM or allow manual entry) and possibly a phone number for deliveries.

I was also thinking about maybe adding some scraping function to fetch the hours externally if the grocery store is not so open data friendly.

To any entity any custom field, called Userfields, can be attached. See #176.

Of course this not includes data scraping, but I think a link to the stores website in a custom field would be enough.

I know about the custom fields yet there is something missing. Using a custom field will not create an automatic tel: link when I enter a telephone number. Furthermore, if I enter an address or coordinates it will not be used for mapping (displaying the location from OSM, creating a Waze/Google Maps link) and filling the working hour as text won't allow me to see whether this branch is open or not by some indication, I need to go and look at the text.

I know these can all be text fields but they don't serve the purpose I'm after.

There is a Userfield Type "Link" which renders the text as links...

[yarons]

OK so we've covered the tel: link part, what about the map and the working hours indication?

[berrnd]

Feel free to suggest how to do this generic (Userfield types).

If I would need this, a link to the website of the store would be enough. In reality, I personally go to the maybe same 5 stores all the time and they all have the same opening hours, because that's how it is, at least here (and I also know where they are)...

So I prefer not making things overly complex when not really needed (and yes, meanwhile grocy got a lot of already too complex features)...

Regarding the OSM map, that should be fairly easy because you can embed from OSM itself.

The phone and website are quite trivial as well.

The only thing that requires attention is the working hours which will add a small circle icon next to the store name, green - open for more than an hour, orange - less than an hour and red - closed and hovering the icon shows today's working hours.

That's what I was thinking about, you're right about complexity, I'm just thinking about cases where you're relatives are coming to visit and maybe they want to go shop nearby and help you with the daily routine (useful after a woman is giving birth and her parents are coming to help or something like that).
