Hi,

I want to create a 400 pixels large map with CGGoogleMaps but the mentions and distances (feet + meters) are layered. Can i reduce the size of the texte or delete one of the distance (feet or meter) ?
THX

I am not sure I follow. I have a few CGGoogleMaps that are under 350x350 and I am not having any issues.

Can you maybe post a screenshot of your issue or provide a link?

Note: Please don't double post

Sorry for the double post. I made a mistake.
On the picture attached, i marked in red my problem : text over text. It is not very clean !

To the best of my knowledge this is not something you can control. This is information that is sent to your map from Google. The reason it is overlapping at the 400 width is because the words for the copyright information are longer in your language than they are in English. It looks just fine for me because the information is displayed in English. Your only solutions that I know of are to leave the map as is, or make it wider.

Ok. THX.
I've got another problem with this module. The text and menus which are apprearing on mouseover are in english (not the copyright).

JC

Did you include the lang parameter in your module call?

From the help:

(optional) lang="en_US" - Parameter is used to specify what language to use for display on the frontend. Not all modules support or need this.

I did.
Actually, i've edited the GoogleMapAPI.class.php file to translate the words. Now it's OK.
I'd like to write the distance in feet/km and the terms of use on two lines. Is it possible ?

JC

You will likely need to do some research on the google api itself on google. It may be customizable with CSS.

THX i did it and it is ok for me.
Just one thing again : i'd like to remove the 'hybrid' button on the map and i did not fond the solution.
Can you hel me ?

JC

Would you mind sharing what you did to make the change?

As far as hybrid... I am only aware of how to remove all three selections not one at a time. This will again be a API change.

My API is too long to be post here ! (exceeds 20000 characters). And it is for a french site.

Find the line : if($this->type_controls) {
            $_output .= 'map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());' . "\n";
        }
and remplace with : if($this->type_controls) {
            $_output .= 'map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());map.removeMapType(G_HYBRID_MAP);' . "\n";
        }

THX very much and excuse for the long time for my post !
New question : is it possible to add checkboxes or radio buttons to show and hide icons with CGGoogleMaps ?
