EEC.MS - ExpressionEngine add-ons

ok. everything is almost done. I have one small problem - needs to add additional table for custom field support, but field add-ons don’t have update function (Why EllisLab? Why?!)... If I will not find way for this before midnight(GMT) - I will publish new version with instructions for manual update.

trenkwill for marker you need just one coordinate pair, so you can click on the map and used click result as base for marker.  For GroundOverlays - two coordinates pairs. This coordinates make a box where you picture will be place. Found related topic on the google forum -  recommend to used GE desktop client for img coordinates :(.

Could you please send me more details about what do you want to do with GroundOverlays - possible I can find some solution.

     

Feature requests:
- P & T Matrix compatibility (to allow multiple maps per entry)
- Ability to display multiple maps on one page (from the map data in a Matrix entry)

     

Matt Crest just one question - could you please give short example of of this (using with Matrix)? I think about this possibility, but I don’t find the reason for this.

     

Yes indeed.

Company listings is where I would use this. So, one company may have multiple locations. Each location is a row in a Matrix. In that Matrix are values for:
- Location Name
- Location Email
- Location Phone
- Location Map

Then, on the front-end of the site, we can display a page for each company. On that page would be a list of locations, each with a map.

     

Also, just an fyi. In your forums, I’m unable to click to the second page of a thread. I can see there is a second page to this thread, but can’t click to get there. There isn’t a “Next” button and the number “2” isn’t clickable.

Edit: I’m using Safari 5.0 on a Mac.

     

Actually I build MX Google Map with multipoint support without additional add-ons from beginning, so at this moment its closer to “Matrix” concepts than you can think (say early hello to theGrid elements ). The new version of mGM will released with markers custom fields. So just you can used the different way – add “row” to the points, not the map to “row”.

But I will put Matrix support in my list.

p.s. ta, I need to update my forum build. Its not your browser issue – it’s a bug.

     

Is there a way to add the overlay box to the marker that shows the address and allows one to like to google for directions?

     

Hi Max, wondering how you’re getting on with the new version?

Best wishes

[BUG] Beautiful add-on… Really awesome…

Only major problem is that if there’s no result, instead of listing nothing, it lists everything… So if for instance I search for ZIP “10001” but I don’t have any record in NY, I"ll get all the other records in my DB listed… I haven’t figured out a way around this issue yet… Any pointer in the right direction much appreciated!

     

First of all: MX Google Map is great!

Do you have any idea when the next version will be released?
I desperately need a way to add infoWindows. Or at least a way to add more interactivity to the marker points.
Thanks!

     

Thanks!

     

Hi Max,

Thanks so much for this great add-on. We’re using your map on one of our projects and would love to be able to add image overlays and wanted to check if you were able to implement image overlays in mx_google_map. Is it possible to use this or something similar:

We noticed that you did start working on this and that there’s a function in your mxgooglemap.js called “addOverlay” , although it does nothing/it’s empty in our version of the script :(. Is there maybe an updated version of the .js file with this function working? Would you be able to help us implement image overlays?

Thanks!!

     

Hello JC,
well, its easy to add this function into js library (or you can used another Js gmap library with MX Gmap), but question was how to implement this function in the CP UI. What used for image overlays setup in CP. I don’t found ways to realize it.

     

Hi Max,

thanks for your response. We’re using a custom Matrix field for the image and coordinates. We found a way to determine coordinates using google maps labs tool called “LatLng Tooltip”.

Also, we use your multiple-marker method to display markers and infoWindows, and just need to add image overlays somehow. This method as you know uses EE {exp:channel:entries} tag and can use other custom fields from map entries

here’s our map:

let us know what you think.

Thanks!

     

quick update: i was able to add image overlays to the map using custom matrix field for coordinates and overlay image. Thanks again for your help
