Hi.

For me it did not work at first. In the cms it messed around with the background. On carefull inspection I found a </Div> at the end to much. I am no expert but it fixed the problem.

Thanks for this, and yes Marked as installed.

Wouldn't this allow any URL to be used?

I changed the code to this just in case:

Code:

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

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">

<tr>

<td class="thead" style="text-align:center"><iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?{param}&amp;output=embed"></iframe>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

Code:

[savedmap]source=ig&hl=en&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Browns+Summit,+NC&gl=us&ei=5Pw5S5CTGI3ilAfR 8_GgBw&ved=0CAsQ8gEwAA&msa=0&msid=108286888553679296824.00047bd3022f955f5a820&ll =36.75539,-81.285095&spn=0.792197,1.149445&z=10[/savedmap]

Using the "Test Your BB code" at the bottom of the manager it shows up properly, but in the actual replacement example box it doesn't show up. Just a FYI.

Is there any way to merge this code with this mod's code? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234318

I edited the original per your suggestion. Thanks.

IS there anyway I can load external gpx files into these maps?

Example:

[savedmap]http://my.resource.com/track-file.gpx[/savedmap]

So the map would show the contents of my gpx file?

Thanks in advance

i have this working on a vb 4.0.3 site and it works fine for UK roads, but if i try linking to a UK Streetview it simply displays the standard google map view instead ?

How do I do an iframe for any url, so instead of posting a url and it opening a new page on their site, it keeps the user on my site within the iframe?

You don't want to do that. That's a huge security risk. Anyone could embed stuff within your site that way.

I don't think I've screwed anything up, but I tweaked it a bit to allow:

1) Any Google map can be embedded, not just saved maps, and

2) Control over how large the map is displayed.

Code:

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

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">

<tr>

<td class="thead" style="text-align:center"><iframe {option} frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/{param}&amp;output=embed"></iframe>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

Be sure to change Use {option} to Yes. The option is the width and height of the map. An example would look like this:

Code:

[savedmap=width="600" height="600"]maps?q=OBAMA'S+FRIED+CHICKEN,+Saint+Nicholas+Avenue,+New+York,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.802327,-73.950734&spn=0.00752,0.021136&sll=40.80391,-73.958234&sspn=0.003963,0.010568&z=16[/savedmap]

hello!

i did manage to get this working but there is a strange issue with my embedded maps; there is no location "pins" visible. i tried with public addresses or my custom saved maps. i just get a map with no "destination" pin.

any clues?
thanks

Can anybody tell me how to get the code that is required to be pasted between the [SAVEDMAP] tags?
I have created a map and saved it to "my places" in google maps, but have not been able to find any code that actually works.

This is a link to the map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...a63409a48ae93f just in case I am doing things wrong.

Guust

09-28-2012 09:13 AM

I figured it out, you get the code from the link icon above the details of your saved map, and drop the
https://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?
bit in front of the URL.
