Hey Andy, no probs!

You've done an excellent job!

Always good to see a fellow Kansan rockin' the house.    This was the first time I've ever played around with the Google Maps API and this made it really easy, I picked it up within half an hour.

I am using the phoogle class to implement the Google Maps.
Its really easy to integrate it too.

newclear - Can you provide an example of what you did to integrate? I've given this a try, but no luck as of yet with CMSMS.

Tygger2512, this one awesome piece of work. Thanks a lot for it

I have integrated it to my site but there is one thing I am curious about: what do I need to do to get a link on the page for printing the map? On my site I use the standard print option but that only prints text. Anyone have any ideas ?

There is a module in forge

Yes, I noticed that one a while ago. I also jhad a look at it but I got so confused I gave up on that one. That is why I went for the option Tygger2512 made.

that module is still kinda beta level, as soon as I find some time Ill try to make it better

I have made an extra page, based on a very minimal template. On the page with the google map I have placed a link to that minimal page. When on that page, the visitor gets again the google map with an ordinary print option. That way the visitor can print the map without any other stuff around it.
The map is here: http://www.juraclaase.nl/index.php?page ... informatie

This is what the standard command {print} also does, right? For some reason I cant get the google map-image to appear in the print page so that is why I made a workaround for that.

I'm having big problems with the js-file and special characters like swedish letters "å", "ä", and "ö".

I managed to work around it using codes from this page http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html

But how can you solve this problem with the form sending you to the directions? If you write a address with special characters it gets messed up...

I've now installed the module on 1.02 but I seem to have run into a glitch maybe someone has encountered here - On the page I call the map http://mm.drunkenlords.com/the_gym/maps/ the map is blank. I have the coords set, I use the proper syntax

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='GoogleMaps' map='test_map'}

, but simply get no love (read: the page does not initially display the default map coords I specified when I set it up.) until you click the menu. Any idea what to check?
