singulae Wrote:hi all!
Recently I discovered getsimple and I think fantastic. It's easy, fast and simple.

I saw that there was no plugin for google maps and I decided to create one.

I would like to try it to see what you think and if you find any error ..

thanks!

(my English is bad bad .. luckily is google to help me out)


How to use: Add on page (in back-end) the following tag: (% googlemap %)

Configuration settings:
  • Width
  • Height
  • Address (no coordinates)
  • Zoom level
  • Path/url to image for the placemark of map
  • Extra info window (optional. This setting displays a balloon tip with the position mark)

that's all.


version 0.2:
  • add path/url image for the placemark of map.
  • And more simple to use (yes more): if some fields are not filled then not show (of course! why did not this early!?)

version 0.3:
  • Fix error in name/title of mark. Now show address ok.
  • Javascript more short and easy to read..

version 0.4:(file updated 21/mar/2011)
  • new setting: select default maptype (ROADMAP, SATELLITE, HIBRID, TERRAIN)
  • Javascript: revised the way to call window.onload. Now with addEvent function.(unobtrusive way)

demo: http://www.singulae.com/public/getsimple...ps-plugin/

Tested in version GS 3. Does not work with earlier versions.

You have no idea how much of a benefit this plugin is for me Smile

Thanks for your hard work!

did you upload the file to the correct folder?


1) check that there is a googlemap.php in the folder /plugins

2) check that there is a folder "googlemap" in that folder as well

3) if so follow these steps:

please check in Plugins-Page whether GoogleMaps is listed and whether it is active
[Image: gm.jpg]


turn to the right of the page and check, you will see the "GOOGLEMAP"-label there
[Image: gm2.jpg]

click on that label and you will get the configuration

if these steps fail, you have not installed the plugin or the plugin is not uploaded or ... I do not know what...

are other plugins working????

Hey, we've all been novices at some time. Most of us have also made embarrassing mistakes, difficult to admit.

Your support efforts are admirable, but your choice. Lack of information and poor feedback are occupational hazards on support forums.

you're right .. But there are basic things, "to drive.. you must start the car" and for using a plugin you must download it .. Right?

Hello,

thank you for this useful plug-in.

Is there a way to embed 2 or 3 different maps in different pages?

Cheers

When you collaborate your time is never wasted, unlike your work is enhanced because you're not helping just one person but all having the same problem.
In this case I was unable to connect for several days, just send an email to singulae because I had said that the explanation in English was too long (we are both spanish speakers).
At last, my Error was not to upload the plugin files.

Hi drodriguez,

well I do not discuss that anyfurther, as we know that the problem is solved, but please try to understand that it is better to create a new thread when you have a problem with a plugin and not jump on an old forum thread

because than you have the chance to add [SOLVED] to subject of the first posting and everybody knows that the problem is solved ;=)(

ok.ok.. should specify what you want to do, to avoid misunderstandings.
Well, this plugin is not designed for use outside the content ...
Maybe to a future version ..

Try this in your template:

Code:
<?php gmap_header(); ?>
<div id="gmapcontainer"></div>

if you use the map in a template. the connection to the google map server will be started with every page which is loaded

so there will be a lot of load and there will be a delay with every new page

Your page visitors will not love it, that is my experience with a map on every page ..

Hi,

I am using this nice plugin. But I want to use it in two different pages, both with different size. Any idea how do I do that?

Thanks.

this plugin is made for one configuration which fits most of the needs of users

if you need more maps with different dimensions, this plugin (at the given time) does not offer that

in that case I suggest to include googlemaps directly in the page with the code from maps.google.com

Connie says is right.
Create a new version to add multiple maps is something I've always thought ..
At the moment, while not exist many requests, I not create more versions. (At the moment ..)
Include googlemaps directly in the page is a good choice.
