.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _extensionSettings: ================== Extension Settings ================== Some general settings for maps2 can be configured in `Admin Tools` -> `Settings`. The settings are divided into several tabs and described here in detail: Tab: Basic ========== mapProvider ----------- Default: both Decide, if you want to use `Google Maps` or `OpenStreetMap` in your project. If you're unsure you can keep `both` active, but in that case you and/or your editor have the possibility to switch between Map Providers in PoiCollection record. .. important:: If you keep `both` active you have multiple static extension templates available. You have to decide for one map provider in your TS-template record. And yes, you can't show maps of both map providers on the same page. .. important:: If you change from one Map Provider to another we remove the static extension template of the prior Map Provider from selection of your TS-template record. defaultMapProvider ------------------ Default: `gm` This setting is only relevant if you have chosen `both` at mapProvider. Select a default map provider to be preselected for new poi collection records. .. important:: If you keep `both` active you have multiple static extension templates available. You have to decide for one map provider in your TS-template record. And yes, you can't show maps of both map providers on the same page. defaultMapType -------------- Default: `Empty` By default an editor has to choose which type of poi collection record he wants to create. As an administrator or integrator you have the possibility to reduce the allowed record types. In that case it may make sense to set default map type to another value. Further the editor saves one further click. defaultCountry -------------- Default: [empty] If a Google Maps Geocode request will be requested with only a postal code, the map provider will try to find that postal code somewhere all over the world. If your website is only available for one specified country, you can enter a country name to reduce the map position to given country. If you have POIs all over the world you should keep that field empty. defaultLatitude -------------- Default: [empty] By default the map in new poi collection records will be somewhere in the atlantic at longitude:latitude 0:0. Please set default latitude to a well known start position to start search from. defaultLongitude ---------------- Default: [empty] By default the map in new poi collection records will be somewhere in the atlantic at longitude:latitude 0:0. Please set default longitude to a well known start position to start search from. defaultRadius ------------- Default: 250 While creating new poi collection records of type `Radius` we set the default radius to 250 meters. Change that value here, if you need another default value. explicitAllowMapProviderRequests -------------------------------- Default: false If you use our maps2 extension your browser will send requests to Google Servers to retrieve the map images. These requests contains the IP address of the website visitors which is a user defined information in some countries. User defined information which will be sent to third party servers needs to be explicit allowed by the visitor. Enable this option, if you need this explicit activation of Google Maps in Cookie. explicitAllowMapProviderRequestsBySessionOnly --------------------------------------------- Default: false If you use our maps2 extension your browser will send requests to Google Servers to retrieve the map images. These requests contains the IP address of the website visitors which is a user defined information in some countries. User defined information which will be sent to third party servers needs to be explicit allowed by the visitor. Enable this option, if you need this explicit activation of Google Maps for current browser session. .. important:: Firefox stores the browser SESSION on exit by default. So this feature will not work for Firefox browsers except you configure your firefox explicit to destroy session vars on close. infoWindowContentTemplatePath ----------------------------- Default: `EXT:maps2/Resources/Private/Templates/InfoWindowContent.html` You can define your own default template for the info window content when clicking on a marker. Further you can override this template path again with TypoScript: .. code-block:: typoscript settings.infoWindowContentTemplatePath = EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Extensions/Maps2/InfoWindowContent.html Tab: Gm ======= googleMapsLibrary ----------------- Default: `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=|&libraries=places` This is the link to the current Google Maps JavaScript Api. It is configured as **wrap** so that you can decide where the ApiKey has to be inserted. .. important:: This configuration is only for Google Maps which are used in list module of TYPO3 Backend. .. important:: Please keep **places** API information in link, as it is need for address search while PoiCollection record creation. googleMapsGeocodeUri -------------------- Default: `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%s&key=%s` When you're searching for an address while creating PoiCollection records maps2 starts a Geocode request to Google Maps Geocode API. If needed you can change that URI here. .. important:: There are two %s placeholders in URI. We replace them with sprintf(), so, if you change that URI the new URI must have these two placeholders, too. googleMapsJavaScriptApiKey -------------------------- Default: [empty] Since 2018 Google Maps needs API keys to get their services to work. So with version 2.0.0 of maps2 you can and have to set an API key for JavaScript based requests to Google to show the map in TYPO3 backend. Yes, this configuration is for the backend only. To allow loading maps for frontend you should set the same or another API key in TypoScript (see section `Configuration`). You can register API keys here: `Google Console`_ googleMapsGeocodeApiKey ----------------------- Default: [empty] Since 2018 Google Maps needs API keys to get their services to work. So with version 2.0.0 of maps2 you can and have to set an API key for Geocoding requests to Google to allow searching for latitude/longitude by a given address in TYPO3 backend and frontend (Plugin CityMap). You can register API keys here: `Google Console`_ Tab: Osm ======== openStreetMapGeocodeUri ----------------------- Default: `https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search/%s?format=json&addressdetails=1` When you're searching for an address while creating PoiCollection records maps2 starts a Geocode request to Open Street Map Geocode API. If needed you can change that URI here. .. important:: There is one %s placeholder in URI for address. We replace it with sprintf(), so, if you change that URI the new URI must have this placeholder, too. Tab: Design =========== strokeColor ----------- Default: #FF0000 If you work with poi collection records of type `Area`, `Route` or `Radius` maps2 will use this color for borders of the overlays. strokeOpacity ------------- Default: 0.8 If you work with poi collection records of type `Area`, `Route` or `Radius` maps2 will use this opacity to let the underlying map data shine through. strokeWeight ------------ Default: 2 If you work with poi collection records of type `Area`, `Route` or `Radius` maps2 will use this width as border thickness for the overlays. fillColor --------- Default: #FF0000 If you work with poi collection records of type `Area` or `Radius` maps2 will fill the overlay with this color. fillOpacity ----------- Default: 0.35 If you work with poi collection records of type `Area` or `Radius` maps2 will use this opacity to let the underlying map data shine through. markerIconWidth --------------- Default: 25 Define a default width for Marker Icons in pixel. You can override this value individually in Category and PoiCollection records. markerIconHeight ---------------- Default: 40 Define a default height for Marker Icons in pixel. You can override this value individually in Category and PoiCollection records. markerIconAnchorPosX -------------------- Default: 13 Which horizontal pixel on the image points the position on the Google Maps. You can override this value individually in sys_category and PoiCollection records. markerIconAnchorPosY -------------------- Default: 40 Which vertical pixel on the image points the position on the Google Maps. You can override this value individually in sys_category and PoiCollection records.
