This is great, thankyou very much for providing this.

I have been looking at doing it myself but could not find a secure solution that would prevent people embedding any link. Looking at the javascript it looks like this solves that problem

Me too.

As I recall, Google requires an API key on a server to dish out their maps. Any leads on this? I know their licensing levels for businesses is really steep.

very nice
good
thanks

My first try was with a Google search on my town. It had one pin in the map. That URL got a permissions error from the Google server.

When I tried to paste in a URL with driving directions, it embedded the page, albeit in a small form, and with the driving directions hogging a lot of the IFRAME space. I can alter the scripts' width and height, but are there any pointers for embedding the map alone as showing on the Tinet.org website?

I'm attaching a "gmap.gif" button which I made for this BB Code, if anyone wishes to use it.

I could reproduce this situation here. It gave me the intire page if I use a link that comes for the first page when you open googlemaps, like your country. If you get a close up one it gave me only the map.

I've got the same here. I don't know why but If use a code from anyplace in US it works fine but anything from out side like my country, it gives me the same error.
Any idea what could it be ?

If this problem can be solved this will be one of the best BBCode ever.

Tks

yeah this would be the best BB code ever lol :up:

I tried with the USA, it's working, but it doesn't store the zoom on the street.

I compared my HTML source with yours, and noticed that mine contains some extra space characters. Not sure if that matters or not, but here they are, represented by underline characters for ease of viewing:

• &__amp;t=h
• &a__mp;ll=38.1 . . .
• &ou__tput=embed" . . .
• &__amp;t=h
• &so__urce=embed" . . .

The URL source from Google didn't contain any of these extra space characters.

On another note, would you mind sharing how you acquired the URL from Google? Did you use the "My Maps" feature? And do just plain driving directions embedd a map, too? Or a whole webpage as it does for me?

Thanks!

I noticed that using a URL of just a town's location returned the forbidden permissions error, but using a URL of driving directions of maybe 80 miles embeds a whole page. Update: Page embeds also for a 1.6 mile drive.

Thank you very much for this bb-code, but mostly I got this :confused:
