EEC.MS - ExpressionEngine add-ons

Hey Max

i’m trying to add an overlay with Google’s tutorial http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#GroundOverlays

but I’m a noob at javascript and I don’t know where to place the code :s

Could this be easy to do for me ? Or could this be a future request ?

Thanks

William

it will be possible if you will create the google map totally by native codes, w/o mx_google_map jquery library. But I can add it to todo.

Would be great !! Can’t wait

{exp:mx_google_map:search} – new parameter prefix=”“ for address request. Now you can hardcoded zipcode / country for searching.

Thanks very much Max.

Everything seems to be working for me but I can’t work out how to add multiple marker on the map. Your list of features includes:

- Support multi geo fields for entry
- Support multi markers per entry

do you increase the “Maximum points” in the field setting (default = 1 marker)?

Sorry Max
I didn’t notice that it in the field settings.
I know I’m being very picky, but would it be better labelled “Maximum number of markers” ?

This is shaping up to be a very useful add-on and I’m looking forward to it getting out of beta.

Feature request:
InfoWindows
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#InfoWindows
In the past I have built my own code to displays maps from the Google Map v2 api, but it’s not easy as I’m not good at javascript.

I’ve done some demos of what I’d like to be able to do.

The first picks up all the markers in multiple entries and puts a marker on the map and a clickable link in a side bar.
First example web page
The template code I used to get this result is in the attached file. But I would like to be able to use the icon saved with the entry.

The second uses the basic code you provide to display a map, bit it would be nice to be able to click on a marker and get an info window that contained a thumbnail of the image taken at that location plus any other text from the data array. This would mean having an additional field in the slide bar to hold the url of the image.
Second example web page

1. InfoWindows in my ToDo list - possible will be done in next version.
2. I have point in todo make it in slidebar, but I will research it for templates too. Clickable link in a side bar it’s easy todo, but the question with style.
3. Custom field - ok. Can’t promise that it will be done in next version, but I will research it asap. I don’t want to add “just a new hardcoded field” - better to give options to add different custom field by yourself.

p.s. next version will be available on this week.

Any news for the update Max ?

Also, when do you think I can expect the option to add an image overlay on the map ?

Thanks,
William

Have unplanned project in last 6 days. Working hard with version now – will be a lot new functions, so I don’t want to release a raw version.

Can’t wait ! :D

So team,
it’s last chance to give idea of some new functions for next 1.5 month - I planed to frozen next version(only bug fixing)  because before EECI I need to finished another great add-ons (theGrid, Linker, UniEditor2 with universal FM) which I promise to community.

What was done at this moment:
1. infoWindows
2. Simple SAEF - you can entered address and the fieldtype automatically convert this address into marker.
3. Custom fields (btw with custom fields MX Google Map really closed to theGrid structure or habitual to say - like Matrix : markers - row, fields - column. So possible I can add more func. with this during theGrid developing.)

in developing:
1. Markers list

Do I forget something?

trenkwill regarding overlay, look, I research this function and the major problem what I see here – you need to setup coordinates for left top and bottom-right corner. It’s easy to me to add JS func. which will help to create overlays more easily (like markers)

But the question where takes this coordinates?

What do you mean by where takes this coordinates ?
