Google Mapinator

Hi,

Just my own little puzzle

I've found out why my 'hack' doesn't work with the contact us page. It's because there's already an onload function being executed in the body tag. And if you execute an onload in a body later on it is ignored.

So the correct thing is to put the onload in the includes/module/page/contact us so it gets included in and executed in the right place in the 'body' tag at the start of the page.

My hack executes the body onload half down the page which breaks html coding but functions ok in opera 9.02, firefox 1.5.0.7 & IE6.0.2900.2180

So stick with the original contribution for the contact us page

Best regards
Alan

To put a get driving directions field above the map:

in includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php

move line: 17

<?php echo zen_draw_form('contact_us', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, 'action=send')); ?>

down below

<?php } ?>

on line 44. This will start the contact <form> below our map form. You probably would want to do a overwrite version in YOURTEMPLATE folder.

then in:
includes/language/english/html_includes/YOURTEMPLATE/define_contact_us.php

<form action="http://maps.google.com/maps" method="get" target="blank">
<p><label for="mapsUsSaddr">Where are you coming from?&nbsp;<br>
 Please enter&nbsp;street address, city, and ZIP Code:<br></label><input class="text" id="maps" size="40" name="saddr"> <input class="submit" value="Get directions" type="submit">&nbsp; <input value="11111 Yourstreet Boulevard Beverly Hills, CA. 90210" name="whateva" type="hidden"> <input value="en" name="hl" type="hidden"></p>
</form>

place this above the map code:

<div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 350px; border:solid black 1px;" ></div>

Please try it out and let me know if you run into any problems posting to either form on the page. Thanks.

I got all these errors with the form

I dont know if others have had problems getting the exact fix like i did. but once i got the basic areas long and lat. I found this link so I could place it EXACTLY where i am to get the right numbers. I hope the link helps others

Since URL rewrites seem to break any API key that I now try, I thought about embedding our Google Local result into the contact us page.
So, I put

<iframe src=”http://local.google.co.uk/maps?f=l&hl=en&q=Fun+and+Frolic&near=&layer=&sll=51.432608,-0.947914&sspn=0.057577,0.160675&ie=UTF8&z=13&ll=51.453472,-0.947914&spn=0.05755,0.160675&om=1&iwloc=A” width=”500" height=”500"></iframe>

at the bottom of the contact_default.tpl page.
Except, something is rewriting that URL!
Because I end up with http://www.funnfrolic.co.uk/party-st...ontact_us.html which has

 The requested URL /party-store/�http://local.google.co.uk/maps was not found on this server.

How is it rewriting that??

The more I look at it, the more I'm sure this isn't the original contrib I installed!
I think there's another one, but I just can't find it!

DUH! I wish I could edit for more than 7 minutes - if someone wants to join all three posts they can.

First, I just realised that the contrib in the downloads is NOT this version - in fact, the version lives at the top of this thread.

Secondly, if you want co-ordinates easily, use http://mapmaker.donkeymagic.co.uk/

And is anyone's map still working?

Thanks for the download. However I can't seem to be able to make it work. I followed the instructions and nothing appears under Admin>My Store. No references to lat, long, or anything else in the google mapinator.

I tried inputting the lat and long into the configuration.sql.
It also says that my API key is wrong. I registered it for http://www.mysite.com/
does it matter that my store is at http://www.mysite.com/store? In other words do I have to register it for /store instead of just / ?

[thm]

Just a quick update. I got a new API for xxx/store and it still says that the API code is used by another site.

Does anyone know why it is doing this?

Cheers.
