I need several maps for my new site.

Curently I have one map... Problem is... I cannot copy the mambot and reuse it on a different page for a different location... The mambot says you can, but I cannot figure it out.

The google map plugin is:

i didnt want to open a new thread, i have a question about the googl maps plugin. Is there any chance to mark more than one place on the same map? If it is, how?

I would be interested in that option as well, I don't think it is capable since you have to enter coordinates and there is only one section for coordinates.  It would be awesome if someone knew.  I am in desperate need.

well actually i have found how to do so.. using kml file. create a map @maps.google.com mark the places you want than save it than there is an option above the map : "see on google earth" when you click it gives you a kml file than follow the instructions about kml inside the forum

yeah - i still can't figure it out!  - sorry but maybe my name should be dumbblonde instead

to be honest i couldnt figured out either. I dont know where  the mosmap code is. There is nothing to do till a hero comes & replies to this thread. Meanwhile lets chat.. Hi .. How you doin? :/

{mosmap kml="http://www.yoursite.com/yourfile.kml'|overview='1'}

That is the answer

without the kml files you can just use the mambot and instead of just entering {mosmap}  - You enter:

{mosmap width='500'|height='400'|lat=29.629326|lon='-95.630289|zoom='3'|zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Map'|showMaptype='1'|overview='0'|marker='1'|align='center'}

Just replace the longitude and lattitude with your own which you can find here:

Super easy to change later!  (Thanks to Mike Reumer for sending the email to my question so fast!)

I am not sure of your intention but I am a BIG GOOGLE fan and I have created a module to allow me to show Google Maps, calendars, blogs, documents etc. you get the idea. I wanted a module to display Google widgets. So I made one. Now if I can just get Joomla to allow me to add it to my hosted site I will show you that it can be used even with Zoho online widgets too.
I have it working on my PC test site but ran into some issues from my live hosted site. I am in the process of reinstalling the WHOLE site. Yuck and double yuck!
As far as a Google map you can create your own maps and add as many locations on them as you want and with your own icons etc. I have a few map collections I have created and will be showing them on my site once I get joomla functioning correctly. upgrading to the 1.5.1 version....time will tell.
I have high hopes for Joomla but if I keep having issues I will have to find another CMS or create my own.

As far as the Google maps you create your own and Google has tools for creating locations on the maps then you make them public and they can be seen anywhere in the world!

If I am not answering you correctly please let me know. I some times get off track!

Easily create the KML file through Google Earth or Google Maps. You can have all your locations upon one page in a single KML file or multiple maps on the same page each as a KML file. The Google Maps Plugin is the best option for virtually any application. I've used them all. All other components are buggy and awkward.

I have a problem getting the google maps plugin to work.

The API key I'm using comes up saying it is for a different website. The website I'm developing is in a subdirectory. I have tried to use API keys for both the root and subdirectory addresses, neither worked.

I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Thanks.

I had the same problem, insert the key in the code on the page you are using the map

mosmapwidth='500'|height='400'|lat='55.412639'|lon='-1.702998'|zoom='3'|zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Map'|showMaptype='1'| overview='0'|text='Greenwell Lane Car Park'|tooltip='Car Park'|marker='1'| align='left'|key=Insert key here

Awesome thanks so much!!

I have created my own maps in Google maps, pointing out different places in cities etc. I then choose to copy the html text and paste into my Joomla content, using the HTML of course.
This is the code
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8& ... iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8& ... urce=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Visa större karta</a></small>

Hurray, everything seems fine frontend, as you can see:
http://www.italienportalen.se/resor/rom.html

BUT... I have tested this two articles with which I have tested this,and both times the text backend just have disappeard. Instead there is just a blue field and I cant even SAVE, or CLOSE the articles. Just open the. I can´t get the HTML-code either.

What has gone wrong?
How can I get my article back ?
And is it not possible to embed like this in Joomla? (I´m not using 1.5)

EDIT: I should say that I am using the JCE edtior, when I change to NO EDITOR I can see the code.

Your editor will often remove and/or modify the code, which is likely the reason you're experiencing this issue.

I haven't used JCE in a while, since switching over to JFCK, but there should be a button within the editor that enables you to switch to "VIEW SOURCE" or the like. If so, simply use that by clicking it. It will reveal the raw code. Insert your code; do not switch back, and click save.

If that doesn't work, simply turn off the editor at the Joomla configuration level, and then edit your page.

Hi All

I had a page with 3 google maps on all. All were working fine. Now, all of a sudden, only 1 will work. the other 2, seems to be a issue with the google map box. You now get a blank box with the writing but no map, click on it and the map will load. Tried on 3 machines, IE and Firefox so not browser related.

Proved its not the code. Using:


{mosmap width='500'|height='400'|lon='-0.556592'|lat='51.400148'|
zoom='3'|zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Normal'|showMaptype='0'|dir='1'|
overview='0'|text=' St Ann's Heath Junior School'|tooltip='DWO'|marker='1'|
align='center'|key='ABQIAAAAS1hXfAoHgpj4Y-myqgO9_hSgpqAy9aac-TW9R2_c9uzBaEc5lBRBsJl_Tv_17KEaGasfzqo-F7OfMw}

as one of the maps so nothing wrong with that,

I have had to take 2 of the maps off the site as it looked crap.

Any ideas?

What did you change between them working and not working? Did you look at or change the page between that time? Why don't you load the key into the mambot rather than in the code?

I was doing that but the site is a subdirectory of a domain and hence by having the key in the code, stops me getting any issues.

Also - no page changes.

I even created a new page, put the just the 3 pieces of code in, and same issue,

Heres the issue:

I created a Google map on Google and grabbed the code to insert the map into a web page. I tested it on a standard html page and it showed up no problem. I then opened an article in 1.5.4, clicked on the HTML button to reveal the code editor and inserted the code. When I update, all I get is a link to the map... not the map itself. When I re-open the editor, the original code has been replaced with a link. Do I need the Google Maps extension to make this work?

Thanks

I believe this may be what you're looking for, if you're working from Joomla 1.5. It is not as easy to make it work in 1.5 as it was in 1.0.

Cheers mate! Solved my issue as well!

I can't find any setting that will help me set the default view height. I've heard it was mapViewHeight, but I can't get that to work.

Here's the code I am using:

{mosmap width='400'|height='400'|address='707 Broadway San Diego, CA 'zoom='30'|zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='1'|mapType='HYBRID'|viewHeight='200'|showMaptype='1'|overview='5'|text='<b>SDDMHS</b><br />707 Broadway - Second Floor<br />San Diego, CA 92101'|tooltip='SDDMHS Main Office'|marker='1'|align='left'}

Does anyone know what to put in the {mosmap} code to remove the default marker? my code is
I have all the places in the kml file but still have the default marker in the middle of the map (icons are temoprary!)

testsite is www.jetsetagency.co.cc

Thanks for any help!

can i use Google Maps API V2 for do it?

Does anyone know how I can get the map aligned so that the article can continue down one side. Float is the word I am looking for I guess. I can align the map left, right, center fine, but I want it so that it doesn't break my article in half.

Any ideas ?

style="float:left;"

you could probably wrap your plugin code

<div style="float:left;">
{googlemaps}plugin_stuff{/googlemaps}
</div>
