Configuration¶
Create Dropbox App¶
To give TYPO3 access to your Dropbox files, you need a Dropbox app. As long as this app is under development, up to 5 devices can connect to this app:
- GoTo: https://www.dropbox.com/developers
- Choose “App console” on the upper right
- Click the blue button “Create app”
- Choose the “Scoped Access”
- Decide, if you want your app to work within its own folder or, if you want to have full access to all of your files
- Give it a name
- Save app with “Create App”
- Open your newly created app
- On tab “settings” you will find app key and app secret
- Open new tab and start configuring TYPO3
Configure TYPO3¶
- Create a new file storage record on pid 0 and give it a name like “Dropbox”
- On Tab “Configuration” choose “Dropbox” (FlexForm reloads)
- Click the + icon right of the access token field to start the wizard
- Enter app key and app secret from your new Dropbox app
- Click the link to retrieve a Dropbox auth code #. It will open a new browser tab, where you have to allow TYPO3 to access your app #. After confirmation, you will see the auth code #. Copy auth code over to dropbox configuration wizard
- Click next button in wizard
- In background my extension calls dropbox API to get access token
- On success the access token will automatically in configuration record
- Save the configuration record
- On success, you will see a green panel with some useful information
- about your free disk space of your Dropbox account
Have fun using your dropbox files in TYPO3.
TypoScript Setup Reference¶
In this section we describe the TS properties of plugin.tx_maps2.setting.*
| Property | Data type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| infoWindowContentTemplatePath | String | EXT:maps2/… |
| infoWindow | Array | |
| mapProvider | String | template related (gm or osm) |
| markerClusterer | Array | template related |
infoWindowContentTemplatePath¶
Example: plugin.tx_maps2.settings.infoWindowContentTemplatePath = EXT:your_sitepackage/Resources/Templates/InfoWindowContent.html
Here you can define your own Fluid-Template for these little PopUps of Markers.
Since maps2 9.2.0 you have access to all related foreign records of your PoiCollection in Template.
Use: <f:for each="{poiCollection.foreignRecords}" as="foreignRecord">...</f:for>
As such a PoiCollection can be assigned to multiple different tables like tt_address, news, what ever, you can differ between the foreign records with f.e.:
jwMaps2TableName and jwMaps2ColumnName are two special keys we have added to each foreign record.
infoWindow¶
This property contains currently two properties to set the size of the images within infoWindow PopUp of Markers.
Example: plugin.tx_maps2.settings.infoWindow.image.width = 150c Example: plugin.tx_maps2.settings.infoWindow.image.height = 150c
image.width
Set the maximum width of images within the InfoWindow PopUp
image.height
Set the maximum height of images within the InfoWindow PopUp
mapProvider¶
Normally you don’t have to change that value, as it will be set automatically with the chosen static template. So,
if you use static template for OSM, this value will be set to osm. In case of the static template for Google Maps the
value will be set to gm.
markerClusterer¶
This feature is only available for mapProvider gm (Google Maps).
If you have many POIs at a small range, it may help to activate markerClusterer to build little groups of POIs. That way you will not see all thousands of POIs anymore, but maybe 5 groups, showing the amount of contained POIs. If you zoom into the map, new groups, with a smaller collection will be build. If the collection reduces to 1 you will see the original POI again.
Plugin settings¶
This section covers all settings, which can be defined in the maps2 plugin and TypoScript.
Important
Every setting can also be defined by TypoScript: plugin.tx_maps2.settings.[propertyName]
| Property | Title | Sheet | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| poiCollection | Show poiCollection | General | integer |
| categories | Categories | General | string |
| mapWidth | Map width | General | string |
| mapHeight | Map height | General | string |
| allowMapTemplatePath | AllowMap template path | General | string |
| zoom | Zoom | Map Options | integer |
| forceZoom | Force Zoom | Map Options | boolean |
| mapTypeId | Map type | Map Options | string |
| zoomControl | Zoom control | Map Options | boolean |
| mapTypeControl | Map type control | Map Options | boolean |
| scaleControl | Scale control | Map Options | boolean |
| streetViewControl | Street view control | Map Options | boolean |
| fullScreenControl | Full Screen control | Map Options | boolean |
| activateScrollWheel | Activate Scroll Wheel zoom | Map Options | boolean |
poiCollection¶
Define a poiCollection which should be shown on the website
categories¶
If you have not set a fixed poiCollection above you can choose one or more categories here. If you have chosen more than one category some checkboxes will appear below the map in frontend where you can switch the markers of the chosen category on and off.
mapWidth¶
The width of the map.
mapHeight¶
The height of the map.
allowMapTemplatePath¶
- With this setting you can override the default template from extension configuration. This setting it not part of the
- plugin configuration and can only be set within the settings-part in TS setup. File prefixes like EXT: are allowed. Please have a look into the extension configuration for a detailed explaination.
zoom¶
A zoom value how deep to zoom in into the map.
forceZoom¶
This setting is only interessting, if you will show multiple POIs on map. In that case maps2 will zoom out until all POIs can be displayed. This is realized with the BoundingBox feature of Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. If you don’t want maps2 to zoom out, because you have POIs all around the world for example, you can activate this checkbox to prevent automatic zooming.
mapTypeId¶
Show Roadmap, Earthview or Streetview
zoomControl¶
Show a zoom control.
mapTypeControl¶
Show a map type control.
scaleControl¶
Show a scale control.
streetViewControl¶
Show a street view control.
fullScreenControl¶

activateScrollWheel¶
If deactivated you can not zoom via your mouse scroll wheel.
