Geocoding

I did, it’s not really the API key, the combination somehow seems to be triggering an error that a number of people have gotten. I turned off the validation in the api string, which then allowed the key to work, but the map won’t draw. The map does draw if I just use the extension, without the raw coordinates, but that seems to only allow one position at a time, and now control over a pop-up menu.

At this stage, I’m thinking about going back to Phoogle, but the site is down. So I’ll fiddle around a bit more before I switch. I may have are javascript person look at the code; because I really don’t do javascript, besides copy and paste features in.

What is the error it’s throwing?

Hey adro- I had to call in my Javascript & PHP guy. He’s who I run to when I’m in over my head. He fiddled and fiddled, and finally notice that a width and height weren’t specified which is why the map wasn’t displaying. It was there, just not visible (urghh). So I think now we can move forward. Thanks much for the code help. Let me know if I can return the favor. Alnisa

Glad I could help!

Hello! I installed this extension on both a development install of EE 1.6.7 running locally, and on a live install. In both cases I’ve got a problem with editing entries in IE7: I can manually place the marker by clicking on the map, but if I type the address and press “enter” nothing happens. If I edit the entry through Firefox the custom field works like a charm.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Is there any way to get the map to default to satellite view? Google Maps has street names for my area, but the Maps API isn’t using the same info for some reason… 😠

Also, I can’t seem to move markers in Firefox. (haven’t tested in other browsers). I click to place a marker, and then click-&-hold to drag it elsewhere, but it never plops itself back down. It just stays up, with that “X marks the spot” showing.

Getting the map to default to satellite view isn’t a problem. Nothing to do with EE, just a Google Maps setting.

map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);

Ok, but where would I change that so that when I’m posting a new entry (to a weblog with a google maps field), it shows in satellite view?

Hello,

Just want to say this is a great little extension. Very easy to use. A few questions, though:

1. I was wondering if anyone has successfully implemented this extension in a Stand-Alone Entry Form (SAEF) without coding the map and javascript functionality by hand. I’m just about to start… (edit: Couple people talk about it here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/102618/)

2. Has anyone used this to geolocate images in the image gallery? As far as I can tell, custom fields on gallery entries are text only, and I’m trying to avoid storing all images as regular entries just to get geolocation support.

3. Are there other geolocation extensions for EE that might do the above two things?

4. Does anyone know the current state of development for this extension?

Thanks!

David

Hello All,

I currently have the following…

{gmap width="800px" height="300px" zoom=""}

Which works and displays a map :o)

I can also display the coordinates using the following.

{gmap _raw}{latitude}, {longitude}{/gmap _raw}

Excellent so far.

How do I hovever, display a google map, in both satellite mode and with a marker. I have been over this forum on numerous occasions and I still have not fathomed it out just yet. A simple explanation would be of significant help. Steps :o)

I can do it normally using both PHP, HTML and the google map code when not using EE.

Any help would be great

Ok, so I’m a bit confused. I’ve got several fields in a weblog: Street, City, State, Country, Zip, and Coords (lat,long)

I’m trying to do a weblog:fields output to get all of my coords {coords_field_raw}{latitude},{longitude}{/coords_field_raw}, but it won’t output that data - instead I just get the above string. Code is posted below:

The {title} and {reseller_street} calls work just fine. Am I just implementing this wrong?

Thanks.

Sorry if this has been answered already but can i limit the user to entering just one marker?

Thanks.

Am I missing something? I have a weblog named “stores” w/ a field named “address”. And enter this in my template

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="stores"}
{address_raw}
    {latitude} , {longitude}
{/address_raw}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

and what displays in the browser page is just un-rendered EE code

{address_raw}
    {latitude} , {longitude}
{/address_raw}

Also, {address width="100" height="100"} doesn’t work either. Extension is enabled and Maps API is entered.

same here. how do i get the map on my page?
