SL Google Map Field Type : Google Maps in your CP, SAEFs, and EE templates : Now with map types in the CP

A good resource for anything to do with Google maps is Mike Williams site at econym.org.uk

He has over 70 tutorials covering just about everything you might want to do with a Google map. It’s relatively easy to pick through the code examples and modify them to work with the dynamic data from EE.

Hey Stephen,

I’ve had a look through this thread trying to make sure I don’t repeat questions to save your sanity! Say I have an events weblog and I don’t want to specify a map for a particular event, how can I do this?

I could have a checkbox field “Show on map?” and wrap this around the map tag, I’m just wondering is there anything built-in already that I missed?

Many thanks, Jordan

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for taking the time to trawl through the thread, I realise it’s become very ungainly.

No, you haven’t missed anything. That’s the best solution at present.

Cheers, Stephen
