[New Plugin] Google map plugin - testers needed

woa, thank you very much for this plugin. It works really well. And it's nice to be able to use custom marker so easily. Nice one!

Just a few note: by default the value for the "control" field is 250. Which looks strange for a control value, no?

Other than that, one wish list item would be that every time the field is used for an item, it would add the coordinate and info to a KML file. Which can then be use by a google map module to display all the markers with a link to each item.
And to push it more , a KML file per category would be even better. That way you could have a map module with all markers from 1 or multiple categories.

hi,

any updates to let it work on joomla 1.7 and more ???

it seem working (need just some language string fixes and maybe something on the marker that have disappeared see picture below)

Hi,

No lot of time for now to enhance this plugin, but you can give a try with this file :
flexigmap.googlecode.com/files/f ... s_v0.4.zip

i will need it soon for a website with Jommla 2.5; so i will try to make an update soon, but i prefer not give a date.

Hope it works.

Regards

Thank you for this cool plugin. It seems to work with Joomla 2.5 and i got a map in my template. But i cant edit my new added map field. On trying so, i get a blank white page, no chance to reedit for finetuning.

Thanks an best wishes, Macjoomla

Hello, great plug-in!
It works well for me on item pages.

But:
Your map-code is inserted for every instance in a flexi-module of a page.

On every item page, I run a flexi-module of other items in the category, below the content. For every item in the module, your code is inserted once and the main item map never shows the right marker postion.

How can I prevent it from being rendered in the modules?

If you want access to the site please pm me, its work in progress.

Theres also an issue with sh404SEF, it ads the categories to the path of custom markers, so it would be better to just pick the base url.

Would also be cool to have an option to turn off the scroll wheel, because if you land in the map while scrolling the page, you zoom into the map all the time, which I found annoying and disabled scrolling.

Cheers
