img-3 img-4 Users manual ------------

This extension shows a google map. You have the possibility to show more than one marker. The template system in backend gives you additional the possibility to create different info-windows each marker. Also to show every marker the same informations.

To create a new google map, you insert the plugin to your site. In the first field you must insert your addresses. See Picture 1: Backend (Point 1). On every line you must insert an address. The address don't need a special format. It's like the same as maps.google.com . For example:

Wallstreet 5, New York, USA

5th Evenue 10, New York, USA

Merlose Place 6, Beverly Hills, USA

You can insert the Geo Data manually if you add after the address the Longitude and Latitude, separated by a Pipe(|). Here a Example: W allstreet 5, New York, USA|-74.0115089|40.7076255

At the second and third field (Point 2) you say which geometry the map should have.

The Point 3 you put the default zoomlevel of the map.

Point 4, you can show a sidebar, where all points are listen in alphabetic sort

Point 5, you can choose how the map should displayed. Example: Normal, Hybrid, Physical

Point 6, thats the “Template” for all markers. If you want the same informations in all info-windows, you have to write the Text here and ignore the Point 7.

Point 7, you create template markers, and gives them a value. The first line is for the first address in point 1, the second line for the second address etc. For example you write this template

Here you find our Offices. This Office is at the address: ###STREET###, ###CITY_COUNTRY###

Than you must create two template markers ###STREET### and ###CITY_COUNTRY###. To set them a value use “=” and use “|” (pipe) to separate the markers from each other. All markers must be inserted at one line for one address! Also in our example the point 7 have now this value:

###STREET###=Wallstreet 5|###CITY_COUNTRY###=New York, USA

###STREET###=5th Evenue 10|###CITY_COUNTRY###=New York, USA

###STREET###=Merlose Place 6|###CITY_COUNTRY###=Beverly Hills, USA

To set a individual marker graphic insert on point 8 a graphic file. If you insert only one image, it's used for all markers. But you can set also for each address an image. The first graphic is for the first address, the second for the second address and so on. If you have 5 addresses but only 3 pictures the first three addresses get the pictures, the last two addresses gets the first Picture.

Known problems

The markers of the Google Maps isn't create with the “markerManager” from Google, because the markermanager is slow for some Points. It's only created and fast if hunderts of markers should display.

To-Do list

- I want to insert that the extension automatically use the markermanager if more than 50 markers should display.
