Purpose

Plugin for component is created for inserting maps into articles.

All maps (not in plugin section), that you see in demo site was displayed as a component call, but All Features are supported in call as plugin.

The only two things are not supported in plugin:

  • Placemark Management by Group List
  • Creating user placemarks - ie allow entering placemarks for registered user from Front End

But you can call plugin as a lightbox - in this case you show map as a component

Moreover, since it is a plugin for the content (type is content), then you can insert code to call in the Custom HTML module and display the map as a module.

It is recommended to put width=0 (which corresponds to the width: 100%), in order to map automatically fills the width of the module, and is resized (eg, a variable template size) and did not occur map oversizing.

Installation

Install the plugin in Extension Manager.

Make it active.


It is plugin for component, therefore component have to be installed

Plugin supports autoupdate feature

The predefined icons contains this symbols (default#... icons), and in this case you have to clone it with simple name without special charters. In future 'big' release (from version 3 to 4 this predefined icons will be renamed!!!)


Map is displaying as component, not as plugin. I.e. the plugin calls the component. There is one specialty. CSS from template not loaded.



Example 1:

{zhgooglemap-lightbox:2;;800;500;ZhukLogo.png}

  • In this case link title is not displayed, just only image.


If you don't set title and image - there is default text is displayed as title.


GeoTags - mark your articles by tags and show map for an article

You can mark your articles by tags, and define map for an article. To do this, insert the following call 

{zhgooglemap-geotag:Call_Parameters_See_Below}

  • latitude - placemark latitude
  • lat - placemark latitude (synonym)
  • longitude - placemark longitude
  • lng - placemark longitude (synonym)
  • lon - placemark longitude (synonym)
  • ll - placemark latitude and longitude, separated by comma
  • zoom - map zoom
  • z - map zoom (synonym)
  • tags - geotags, separated by comma

    • yahoo
    • nokia
    • bing
    • yandex


Latitude and longitude parameters (or its pair parameter) - it is required

The synonym for parameters ll and z is done for more flexible use - if you open Google's Map, and press Link button - you'll see the code, which you can include to show for link to your map in any documents. And it is done for you copy this values (ll and z) from this prepared string to plugin call.


There are a few examples

Example 1:

{zhgooglemap-geotag:latitude=30.23;longitude=50.11;tags=Tag1,Tag2}

This call mark an article by two tags - Tag1 and Tag2.


Example 2:

{zhgooglemap-geotag:ll=30.23,50.11;tags=Tag1,Tag2}

It is the same as Example 1, but pass coordinates by its pair.


You can combine parameters, and pass it in any sequence


Example 3:

{zhgooglemap-geotag:zoom=14;ll=30.23,50.11;tags=Tag1,Tag2}


Example 4:

{zhgooglemap-geotag:zoom=14;ll=30.23,50.11;tags=Tag1,Tag2;maptype=nokia}

Restrictions

Plugin does not work in contacts, because of a contact has type, that differs from "content"
But you have opportunity write article like contact page, as you like, and include map
Or you can use module in this case
