Mini Mods - YBMF-Google Maps BB Code

Please see the readme for full information.

Please mark INSTALLED if you use it. Do not Hotlink our images.

What does this do:

This adds the BBCODE for GoogleMaps to your Postbit. Streetview can also be utilised.

ALternative version now available by Ben Stillman Ohio Riders: [ click here ]

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]

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.

<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 get the middle of a lake

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.

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.?

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

We must be doing something different.

[wacnstac]

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.

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