Google Mapinator

That's a great idea. Do you think any mod authors would be interested in some "live server" development space too? That could offer a bit of live front-end testing from non-coders who still want to help out.

Hi Graham-

I did not mean to upsurp your mod support thread with a new discussion topic. I just posted my recommend in a new thread in Support Site Issues & Questions forum. See http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37758

Woody. No usurping was done ;) imo and no offence was taken.

it's a good idea.

I'm not sure about the firefox problem you mentioned. I'm using 1.5.0.4 and haven't had any problems. Could it be one of the firefox extensions perhaps? I have quite a few in but no problems as a consequence. Possibly it's a Google issue?

Could you let me know what extensions you use and I'll check them off with the one's I use.


Regards,

Graham.

Found same problem occuring with maps at Google Maps site. Solution is to set dom.disable_image_src_set via Firefox about:config to false.

I have just got the first update accepted in the contribs section.
I have added switchable zoom controls and minimap options.

Hope you like the new additions.

regards,

Graham.

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!
Brian

Made a backup first!!!

I wanted to add a google maps on my contact page.
I have done this several times on other static sites without a problem.
However, finding something to actually work in Zen Cart has been the usual 10 hours waste of life nightmare.
Mapinator has, as part of its instructions.."[FONT=&quot]Run the configuration.sql"

[FONT=Verdana]I have no idea WTF this means in the context.... "run"...
is dismally unhelpful.
It is inevitable that thousands of average installers of Zen Cart will want to have a google map.
Why is it so esoteric???!!
If any one can point me to a user friendly way of putting a google map on my contacts page PLEASE let me know.[/FONT]

I know this is a very old thread, but I found your last question unanswered.

Adding a Google Map to once Contact Us page isnt that difficult really. And you dont need any API or anything.

I just added to a clients webshop I am working on today.

Open Notepad++
Open define contact us.php page
Go to google maps and write the adress name.
IN google maps use the "Link" and the iframe code for linking to the map. Thats the second (2nd) field in the link page.

If you have a website program like Expression web or Dreamweaver simply start a new HTML page and in the code view place/paste the code from Google Maps page

If you have split view, both code and site view in Dreamweaver or Expression web, then you will see how the little frame in Sie view slowly and slowly search and connects.

Now when you see it works, paste the code you pasted in Dreamweaver or Expession web and move to Notepad++

In Notepad++ and the difen contact us php page, simply paste the link in question. Click SAVE and upload the page with your FTP

Go to the internet browser and watch magic occuring. You see it on the site.

Simple.
And much more simple than writing this text actually
