Google Maps On Your Detail Page

**gspinney** · 03-29-2007, 01:27 PM

<embeded> Google Map </embeded> on your detail page.

Geocoder takes the address input and

Code:

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=abcdefg"
      type="text/javascript"></script>

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

    //<![CDATA[

   var geocoder;
   var map;

   var address = "<%$street%> <%$city%> <%$province%> <%$postal%>";


   function load()
   {
      map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
      map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
      map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
      geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
      geocoder.getLocations(address, addToMap);
   }


   function addToMap(response)
   {
      place = response.Placemark[0];
      point = new GLatLng(place.Point.coordinates[1],
                          place.Point.coordinates[0]);

      map.setCenter(point, 13);
      marker = new GMarker(point);
      map.addOverlay(marker);
   }


    //]]>
    </script>

Code:

<body onload="load()" onunload="GUnload()">

Code:

<div id="map" style="width: 370px; height: 270px"></div>

Link points to a crappy parking page now, it should be deleted.

The site was down for a while, now it's back up.. so your crappy parking page has been removed.

Can you help clarify a few things for me? In your first post, you have three separate codes. Do these go in three separate files? If not, then why are they separated, instead of just being on longer code?

Thanks,

Greg

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. Created the custom fields, and just pasted the above code as one long continuous code, and all is well!

Does anyone know of a way to show more than one Google map on a single page. I was looking into creating a map on the rows page, similiar to the thumbnail mod, but I can only get one map to show up.

**inspireme** · 06-25-2007, 07:04 PM

you can have more than 1 map, but it means duplicating the code, it would slow down the page a lot, i dont think it would be worth doing because of that.

copy all the code the same as 1 map, but change :

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
to

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map2"));

and then change the div tag to <div id=map2>

thats just for curiosity... really dont recommend it!

That's good to know. I was wanting to have a map on the links that show when you click a category. So it would be in rows.html, where the code is only written once, so trying to figure out how to get a mini map to show up next to each link, just like we have with the website thumbnail next to each link. Any ideas?

I have a couple of questions about his addon....

1. Does the code above still work???
2. Do you just take all the code, put it together, and then place it in the details.php page where you want the map show?
3. I'm assuming that the custom fields created are just text fields and instead of using %province%, I can use %state%??
4. What happens if some of my links wont have any information in the custom fields, is there a way to show just a default Google Map of a specific location I choose, or will an error be shown on the page?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the answers to my questions above?

I placed it into my detail_link.html not the php.

As far as working... last time I look at my website it was.

of using %province%, I can use %state%?? Of course you can. My website is geared for Canada, so I use province.

as long as %state% = Texas or whatever in order to bring the map up.

%address%, %state%, %zip%

Calgary Business is done... not sure if it's for good or not.

But if you want to see the code in action... visit www.YakimaBusiness.com a mirror to my site and uses the google maps on the listing pages.

gspinney...

I know this is slightly off topic, but I noticed on YakimaBusiness.com you have weather info in your right block... Can you tell me how you did that??? I started a thread on it a little ways back here :

**Bruceper** · 09-08-2007, 05:15 PM

It's local weather for Yakima, not like you wanted to do it per users location.

He is using one of the scripts from http://support.hamweather.com/dload.php
