Im using this with vb 3.5.1 and vbadvanced cmps 2.1

Google Maps with Hot Spots - Events for CMPS

******** You will need your own Google API Map Key for this to work. You can get it by going here:http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

***Install: Add a module as you normally would, and copy the below into the template content.

To create a module
vBa CMPS > add module > template > then give it any title you want and display order
Then give it a name I called my "googlemaps" so the name is now "adv_portal_googlemaps"

******** note google maps do slow down load times *********

Copy the below and place it into the template content.

After you have your Google API Map Key enter it where it says "Enter_Your_Key_Here " Should be around line 7 or so.

Convert an Address to Latitude & Longitude
Ive been using this site to convert an address to the proper latitude and longitude.

Adding Different color markers.

If you want to add different color markers, line 10 should read:

PHP Code:


			
var icon0;

Under that add

PHP Code:


			
var icon1;

Change the number for each different marker you want. So the more different marks you want youll have to add that line and change the number as well as the coded below.

Then after you have added that you will need to add this: This will have to be added for each marker you add.

Add this right below the first marker. Should be around line 46 or so.

PHP Code:


			
icon1 = new GIcon();

    icon1.image = "large_yellow_marker.png";

    icon1.shadow = "large_yellow_marker_shadow.png";

    icon1.iconSize = new GSize(20, 34);

    icon1.shadowSize = new GSize(37, 37);

    icon1.iconAnchor = new GPoint(9, 34);

    icon1.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(18, 25);

Now see where it says "large_yellow_marker.png" and "large_yellow_marker_shadow.png" You will need to input your own markers there, full url if needed.

Each time you want to use a different marker you have to call to that variable/marker. So in the example I have:

PHP Code:


			
newpoints[0] = new Array(-74.084375, 40.917748, icon0, 'Austins Restaurant/ Junkyard Nightclub', '<div id="popup">Austins Restaurant/ Junkyard Nightclub<br />352 West Passaic Street<br />Rochelle Park, NJ 07662</div>');

You would chang the icon0 to icon1 so it would read like this.

PHP Code:


			
newpoints[0] = new Array(-74.084375, 40.917748, icon1, 'Austins Restaurant/ Junkyard Nightclub', '<div id="popup">Austins Restaurant/ Junkyard Nightclub<br />352 West Passaic Street<br />Rochelle Park, NJ 07662</div>');

Adding Images to the pop up windows.

You can add image to the pop up windows as well. See picture attached.
In a call to variable where it says:

PHP Code:


			
newpoints[0] = new Array(-74.084375, 40.917748, icon1, 'Austins Restaurant/ Junkyard Nightclub', '<div id="popup">Austins Restaurant/ Junkyard Nightclub<br />352 West Passaic Street<br />Rochelle Park, NJ 07662</div>');

Right after

PHP Code:


			
 '<div id="popup">

and before

PHP Code:


			
</div>');[/

You can edit that as if you were doing a regular html page.

To add this to its own CMPS Page
Follow these directions and skip number 7, because I set this up as a template file and not a php file.
http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersare...tid=4&pageid=6

Then whatever you called your page in the immediate above directions from vbA under "page identified" ( i used googlemap ) edit your navbar and inclue
to a link to that page.
Mine is

PHP Code:


			
/forums/index.php?page=googlemap

replace googlemap with whatever you called your page under page identifier.

*** added screen shots ***
First shows the installed look.
Second picture shows the popup window when a marker is clicked
Third shows the addiontal useage of colored markers. Code is listed above but not in the orginal install.
Fourth Picture shows the popup window with added images. How to is listed above but not in the orginal install.

here someone made this for the world map mod its so much easier to do then it seems... read this text... i forget who made it but its very easy to do just change the name and code

Dang... first install? You guys should really click install if you are using this. While it doesn't allow people to add theit own markers like the other Googlemap mod, the author deserves your support.

I didnt build upon his because of his little user agreement stating
"Attribution. You must give the original author credit.
Non-Commercial. You may not use this work for commercial purposes.
Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under a licence identical to this one. "
Only credit I would like is for people to click install when they use this mod.

And secondly he has in my opinion abandoned that mod/hack/plugin. He was working on it for a future release ( the hot spots ) yet hasnt updated it in months and hasnt even commented in the thread in weeks.

Thirdly - I used his mod on my forums, but I didnt want the users to be able to put in events and locations. I wanted it seperate so this can work seperately. If someone else wants to join the two together thats fine with me. But I dont see a use on my forums any longer to have the users put there house or locations in.

Enjoy.
Kevin

Kev.. all I was saying was that people should click install.

Thats what I figure, was just stating why I didnt add to his, incase it comes up in the future.

Did you have any problems with the install ? Do you add the markers, or images, and able to add it as a module ?

Any problems so I know what to fix?

Thanks

I have put it on a board I am building. Very Happy as I could not get my head round the Google talk and you have saved me the job.
