Sweet! The last one of these I saw didn't work well at all. This one is flawless.

You are very welcome :)

Many thanks for clicking Installed. Always amazes me, especially with MAJOR modifications that coders release, the time the effort and resources they expend, and members on here have only to click the "install" link, to show gratitude. Much appreciated.

Thanks

Very Welcome. I have tons of bbcode enhancements, I may add more later this week/next week when I get the opportunity. Mind you a lot of our stuff is Australia based :)

I love it too but I have one small issue. We use a lot of self made routes in our MINI Club to post on the forum. I just tried one as an example and the route does not show, only the map itself. Here is a google map link that we just used on a recent excursion. If you can get this to work this will be my vote for MOD of the year!

Marked as Installed and Rated 5 Stars :)

Thank you!
It rocks!!

You know what would be superb?
If the Map window in the post would enable a user to navigate (up/down/zoom).
When the user is at a new location, to have the Link button easily accesible.

So they could copy/paste that link there, and make a new [maps] tag for their new post without going to maps.google.com

THANKS for this!! :D

G'day Mark,

Yeah I have tried fiddling with the code, even iframing it. Its not an easy solution that. I will give it some thought, because we also do "rallys" for outback camping up and down east coast of Australia, so would be useful to us too.

Hola Como,

You should be able to zoom in and out scroll etc.

Not sure about the link.

But the code could be adapted to echo the original link to the map ( i am sure ) if thats what you mean.

Hello!
To clarify my thought:
Let's say on your example pages, you have Bondi Bay centered.

Say I scroll to the south-west and stop at Tamarama Bay.
I want to make a new post, commenting on Tamarama Bay and what I'm seeing.
The Link in this case would be different.

Could there be a way then to acquire the Link, for this new post discussing Tamarama?

Thanks... as it is, it ROCKS! :D

I had to reduce it to this in order to get a map to show at all:

PHP Code:


		
			
<center><iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="{param}&output=embed"></iframe></center>

and then it still doesn't show the correct map.

Hmm...

Code:

<div align="center"  style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="500">

        <tr>

                <td class="thead" style="text-align:center"><iframe width="500" height="500" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="{param}&output=embed"></iframe></td>

        </tr>

</table>

</div>

Try that

That worked and it gets me a map, but it's always pointing to Coffeyville Kansas no matter what I specify between the [maps] codes.

same just happened to me using the original code.

Worked ok once when I tested it, then the next posting showed me coffeyville, ks as well

01-28-2010 02:08 AM

btw, the difference that I can see in whether it worked for me or not was in the test spot (mod forum) I have HTML ON, in the regular forum, HTML is OFF, and it showed me that coffeyville map there.

Logged in, and posted on your Map thread. Works fine.

Saw that...sent you another link to try, if you don't mind.

TimberFloorAu

01-28-2010 02:33 AM

The link you sent me was Googles actual Link.

I think you should study the images in the first post, I have just posted a new map for 5th Avenue on your website. Works A 1

Very nice!

This is great! I find however if I use the Streetview link code, it will not translate into the streetview as it would if I pasted the URL code into a browser window...it goes straight to map.

It's weird, because all you're really doing is using an iFrame but it must be something on Google's end?

TimberFloorAu

01-28-2010 02:49 AM

The BBCODE parses the google linking.

Iframe is different.

The code for iframe is similar: I use this...

Use this code in your text replacement.

Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%"  height="600" style="margin:10px 0">

<thead>

        <tr>

                <td class="tcat" colspan="2" style="text-align:center">

                        <a href="{param}" title="Go to site directly" target="_new">Go to the site directly</a>

                </td>

        </tr>

</thead>

<tr>

<td>

<iFrame src="{param}" width="100%" height="600"marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

Then [iframe]link goes here[/iframe]

I am putting the following between the [maps] tags:

PHP Code:


		
			
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=houghton+lake+mi&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=49.71116,95.888672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Houghton+Lake,+Roscommon,+Michigan&t=h&z=13

But keep getting a map of the Coffeyville Country club :)

I get the middle of a lake

wacnstac

01-28-2010 02:42 PM

Thats what it should be, but when I do it on my site I get Coffeyville. Don't understand it. I have the BBCode implemented just as you suggested with the fix you put on this thread last night.

Just posted on your site, Stone Mountain. Atlanta Georgia.

Works A1.

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/fo...6&postcount=13

What browser are you using.?
Are you copying the full URL from the link dropdown above the map, on the right, not the embed url.?

Ste

wacnstac

01-28-2010 07:44 PM

I am copying from a drop down at the upper RH corner of the map. I tried each of these but both give me the "default location"

PHP Code:


		
			
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=houghton+lake+mi&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=49.71116,95.888672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Houghton+Lake,+Roscommon,+Michigan&t=h&z=13


http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=pictured+rocks+michigan&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=49.71116,95.888672&ie=UTF8&hq=pictured+rocks+michigan&hnear=Pictured+Rocks+National+Lakeshore,+Grand+Marais,+MI+49839&t=h&z=11

We must be doing something different.

wacnstac

01-28-2010 07:56 PM

I figured it out. Seems that if you search for a location on GM and immediately find it, and copy and paste that URL, it won't work. You have to move the map around and maybe zoom in or out and copy that URL and it will work.

TimberFloorAu

01-28-2010 07:57 PM

I am still at a loss, what are you typing into the search box at www.maps.google.com ?

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:13 PM.
