Could you explain please Moose?

Do you want to use a bbcode iframe ?

Steve,
I'm at a loss to how I can get routes done in the maps. Is this something you'll be working on for a future release?

I would love to have the placemarks show on maps in the forum itself.
I copied the link from the first box in Google Maps and posted that in a forum message.
After promoting the message to an article and all the placemarks showed, I noticed iframe tags in the CMS source code.
Seems to me that this is the reason why placemarks are not shown in the forum message but do show on the CMS page.

Well, sounds like you should implement HTML within your CMS. Custom for what you want.

Aside from php includes, the only way to plop stuff into a page from gmaps is using iframe. Or similar.

I wonder if having HTML turned off in posts matters?

I wouldnt allow HTML to be on, its asking for trouble.

I suggest tho, you could create your own vb powered page ( Lynn has a Tut for it )

Then create your own html block hard coded into a vb wrapped page.

We put this on our page and it took lass than 2 hours for someone to discover that this code allows not only Google Maps but will work with nearly ANY url, which causes recursive loops and opens your site up for people to use this and put in damaging code.

I love the idea but the actual product itself is flawed and dangerous. I'd point you to a thread to show you what I mean but we had to take it down because it was causing server issues.

Would there be any way to use this so you could have members display a map image in their postbit location? They would have to go to thier profile and input a map image, then I guess an image would be needed to be displayed in the postbit so others could click on it to see the image location.

Also where would you add the map.gif image if you want it to show in the quick reply editor?

Thanks for this!

Easier would be a memberinfo block, that is set up by a user defined field.

So members could add their location, which would be displayed in the memberinfo block, linked from their postbit via a link , i supposed My Location: Click Here

Quick suggestion from seeing other people use my site, and the google Map post:::
Could the navigation buttons (zoom +/-, up,down,...) have the options of google Maps for small/medium/large?

Might be wrong on my part, and the bigger buttons might not exist.
My user just saw the picture and smiled... oblivious to the zoom/nav buttons.

Thanks! It's working great over here!
