Phoca Map - two different Google Maps on one website

[slonecznik2]

I have a website where I have placed two different Google Maps: https://ewa.mcmbaluty.pl. Neither of them displays correctly (although each displays correctly as soon as I remove the other map). When I place OpenStreetMap, both maps display correctly. How do I display both Google Maps correctly?

Use your browser Developer Tools to look for errors. Using the same JavaScript on two maps may be the issue. Or...

How to use two javascripts for two maps? Is it possible? Is there any plugin for this?

Hi

tdocgmap displays more than one map - by using a kml file to define the content of the map
see here: https://tdocplus.co.uk/0a_Empty502/

please note: I am updating the installation at the moment and in particular the update.
the tdocgmap_update.xml is NOT reading the ini files for naming, but displaying the item name not its translation. see attached screen shot

maybe phoca map needs to be updated . . .

I did a clean new installation. I installed Phoca Maps.

I inserted 2 Google maps into one article. It displays correctly. I inserted 5 different maps. It displays correctly.

On the https://ewa.mcmbaluty.pl website I inserted 2 maps into an article using a plugin. It displays correctly.

The maps are broken by Joomla modules. When I insert a map into a module and this module into an article, I can only display one map. Even a map inserted using a plugin does not display when I insert a second map in the module.

On https://ewa.mcmbaluty.pl there are 2 maps inserted (a map of all branches and a map of the headquarters) into 4 modules (2 modules for computers and 2 for mobile devices). When I insert 2 modules, it sucks on the computer and sucks on the mobile device.

How can I get around this? I need to insert a map of branches and a map of the headquarters on the computer and another map of the headquarters and another map of branches on mobile devices.

You might suppose that my plugin is broken by Joomla. Any plugin for Google Maps, has to have two scripts to display a map. One to generate the [one or more] Google Maps, and one to obtain Google Maps Authority.

A plugin cannot call just one script. It is the way Joomla parses an article with page breaks that means that page breaks [which are very old methodology] are not fully parsed.

Fact of life as far as I can see. So see https://magazine.joomla.org/all-issues/ ... eak-plugin. If you choose a mode which allows a full parsing all is ok.

So it is not Phoca [or TDOCGmap], not google maps, not Joomla !

Can you make a test site to show the problem please ?

On the page https://test.mcmbaluty.pl there are 2 Google maps inserted from the plugin. They are displayed correctly. Please go to modules and enable both modules with the same maps. The maps will not be displayed.

Maps are not displayed if we enable them in the backend via modules.

There is too much on the site to understand the problem . . . we need a very simple site of a few articles and a few maps to demonstrate the problem.

The problem currently occurs on the home page.

The number of articles does not matter. Only the home page matters.

I removed two {loadmodule} in the home page and now two maps show . . .

WHY do you NOT use a kml file ? You have total control, and it goes direct into an article with a simple call. places, names, icons, descriptions routes etc etc. and put wherer and how you want in an article.

WHY make life complicated by loading a MODULE into an ARTICLE

see https://tdocplus.co.uk/linnpark/walking-in-linn-park select for example "Snuff Mill to White Bridge" two maps with tabs and accordions.

I tried Phoca after I used other programs, and was so confused that I wrote TDOCGmap. All done in kml files.
So simple: see here: https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kml_tut

The two loadmodule calls means that you were asking Google for two authorities in the same article, and that is not satisfactory for Google so one map will fail.

I think Google designed the kml solution to be as flexible as possible, and in my view it is.

Thus my wring tdocgmap for my the needs of the linnpark web site.

One has to design ones web site within the constraints of those providers who one is using.

Hope that helps.

Hi please see https://tdocplus.co.uk/0a_Empty400/kml- ... age-breaks

I have added a link to second test site to show the normal page break settings.
This shows that two sets of calls in the same article fails.

It is NOT a Joomla fault, but the way that Google Maps authority works.
