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.
