google maps plugin

[grs84pl]

Dear Singulae,

Sincerely thanks for your great Google Map plugin. Indeed a really needed plugin for all of us.

I just have one need (with one remark) :
The remark is :
as the "Balloon tip with extra information" field concern the "Address" field I think both "Balloon tip with extra information" and "Default map type" must switch they place (I means "Default map type" must be place after the "Balloon tip with extra information").

The need is :
I used your google map plugins with a zoom value to 1 to be able to see all the members of my association.
But currently we can just have one address on this map. The need is to be able to add more than one point of interest. I mean I need to point where are all my members on a world map (zoom=1). Then how can I add more than one Address (with its own corresponding Path/URL of image for the placemark and Balloon tip with extra information).

Just for information here are useful free customizable icons : http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/

I hope you will be able to give us the way to add more address.

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

Maby this will help, I've needed map for every restaurant witch was describe at some of my site.
Im using:
DynPages
&
Google map
&
my function
for that:

Code:

my function, placed in /theme/your_theme/functions.php:

function pokaz_mape($adress, $infotext, $zoom){
  $config=array(
    'width'=> 400,
    'height' => 400,
    'address' => $adress,
    'zoom' => $zoom,
    'infotext' => $infotext,
    'maptype' => 'HYBRID',
    'image' => 'URL TO YOUR PLACE_ICO'
  );
  
  gmap_header_2($config);
}

function gmap_header_2($config){        


    $infowindow = '';
    
    if($config['infotext'])
    {
        $infowindow = 'var contentString ="'.str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "<br />",$config['infotext']).'";
          var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: contentString});
          infowindow.open(map,marker);
          google.maps.event.addListener(marker, \'click\', function() { infowindow.open(map,marker);});';
    };

    echo '    
<!-- Google map Plugin : start -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var gmap = {
  // unobtrusive way for call    window.onload
  addEvent: function (obj, evType, fn){
    if (obj.addEventListener){
      obj.addEventListener(evType, fn, false);
      return true;
    } else if (obj.attachEvent){
      var r = obj.attachEvent("on"+evType, fn);
      return r;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  },

  init: function ()
  {
    var gmapid = document.getElementById("gmapcontainer");
    if(gmapid)
    {
      var options = {
          zoom: '.$config['zoom'].',
          address: \''.$config['address'].'\',
          center: \'0,0\',
          streetViewControl:true,
          scaleControl: false,
          mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.'.$config['maptype'].',
          mapTypeControl: true,
          mapTypeControlOptions: { style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.HORIZONTAL_BAR }
          };
      var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();      
      geocoder.geocode( { \'address\': options.address}, function(results, status)
      {
        if (status === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK)
        {
          options.center = results[0].geometry.location;
          map = new google.maps.Map(gmapid,options);
          var image = \''.$config['image'].'\';
          var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map,  position: options.center, title: options.address, icon: image });
          '.$infowindow.'
        } else {
          alert(status);
        }
      });
    }
  }
};
  gmap.addEvent(window, \'load\', gmap.init);
-->
</script>
<style type="text/css">
  div#gmapcontainer {width:'.$config['width'].'px;height:'.$config['height'].'px}
</style>

<!-- Google map Plugin : end -->
';

};

Code:

component called 'gmapa'

<?php
pokaz_mape($args[0],$args[1],$args[2]);
?>

Code:

code included on every page where map is needed in CKeditor.

{%gmapa 'Jana III Sobieskiego 2, Jelenia Góra, Polska', 'Jana III Sobieskiego 2', '17' %}

In short way, what I have done, is by using DynPages ability to passing arguments. I passed adress, ballon txt and zoom, to function pokaz_mape, where I've added other parametrs like width, default map type, etc.

In fact, You really don't need Google map plugin, but I'm using it anyway.

BR.
