Google Mapinator

[dml311071]

Thanks for the pointer on the syntax error, I am still new to php so some of the syntax, especially with the " and ' order, can be a challenge. I often have to rely on the Notepad++ colour scheme to help with these finer details!
Unfortunately, the change did not work, I will have to try another approach.

I've found a way to customize the map, although it remains on the contact us page. You will need to edit the jscript_googlemapinator.php file in includes/modules/pages/contact_us.

Take a look at the Google documentation for all available features, but below are a few mods I made to my map at http://www.mcqueeneycoins.com/catalo...age=contact_us

To add the zoom scroll bar, I changed "map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());" to "map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());"

To disable the popup window that automatically appears (and to make it only appear when you click on the marker), remove "marker.openInfoWindowTabsHtml(infoTabs);"

To change the tab headings, modify what the red text to what you want it to be:

new GInfoWindowTab("Address", "<?=nl2brStrict(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS);?>"),
new GInfoWindowTab("Telephone", "<?=nl2brStrict(STORE_TELEPHONE);?>")

Likewise, you can remove the Telephone tab by deleting the second "new GInfo..." line

To list an address different than what you have as the default in Zen, remove the <?=nl2brStrict(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS);?> string. Replace with the text you want to add. You can use HTML tags here (<p>, <br>, <b>, etc.)

I hope this helps everyone who was having those problems earlier!

To build on what I posted yesterday, you can add the map to any other page as well. Simply copy the two .js files that come with the Mapinator package and add the <div id="map"......> line on the page(s) you want the map to appear. I put the map on the About Us and Contact Us pages without any problems.

I am looking into this mod but for the life of me cannot get it working.
What I am actually trying to do is show a different map, depending on long/ lat, on the product page.

What I need:
Map displayed on product info page
Long/ lat editable via product info page in admin

IF I manage to get anything I'll post but that's a big IF!

I'm assuming this mod is now dead?
I'm still looking for a "google map in product" solution if anyone has found anything, thanks.

well it's been months sense anyone has posted in this section but I installed the mod and i'm having trouble getting the map to display. Can you please help me understand what I'm doing wrong. <div is blank, it's not loading something correctly.

Hi,
Google mapinator does work for me like a charm thank you so much for the mod. However i am facing a small problem. In the map when we click the red pointer it shows up white screen without the necessary information about my shop(the same is getting reflected in maps.google.com though). What could be the problem?

To understand what i am talking about please click the below link

Thanks

snorkpants,
I run a web site for a t-shirt business. We're trying to set up Google Maps so that we can drop markers on the map that, when clicked on, pop up a picture of a customer wearing our shirts. I've successfully set up a test page with Google Maps on it, but I haven't yet tried to integrate it into my Zen Cart site. Does your mod help with this? Thanks!
