Plugin Googlemap - A Joomla plugin

This is version 3.5 of the plugin Google maps for Joomla 3.x and support for Google Maps API version 3 (Google Terms).

Install

Just go to Extensions submenu extension manager tab install (3.x) in your administration console. Upload and install the plugin with zip-file, for Joomla 3.x use file with J3x in the name.
Then go to Joomla menu Extensions submenu Plugin Manager and publish the Plugin Google Maps.

After publishing the plugin go to the parameters of the plugin by clicking on the name of the plugin. Here you can set the defaults of the parameters and if you want to use Google Maps API version 3 the Google API key (Google APIs Console) because of the usage limits and billing.

Always enable the plugin, because with the extra plugin parameter Published you can set if the mostag must be removed or that the mostag is replace with a Google map.

How to use the plugin in content

You can put the {mosmap} with parameters anywhere in content in Joomla: intro text or main text of an article, components and modules. You can see examples and documentation on my demo site: tech.reumer.net.

Check the html of the content item so there are no html like <br />, <span> or &nbsp; between { } or in the html a return.
If you work with pure html code, be sure that there isn't any '\\r\\n' tags in the mosmap string between { } in your database code.
The plugin works for one line!

It can be once, twice or more to display multiple, inline maps on a single content page for different locations and configurations.

Usage: {mosmap width='500'|height='400'|lat='52.052312'|lon='4.447141'|
zoom='3'|mapType='Satellite'|text='sv DWO'|tooltip='DWO'|
marker='1'|align='center' }
(goto html view of an article and remove the returns between the line or <br /> so its one line)

You can change any of the parameters:

For all parameters see here

 

You can set the single Google key or Multiple urls and Google keys at the parameters by the plugin in the administrator of Joomla. You can register for a Google API Key Google API Console.

The Plugin is regulated by, and remains subject to, the GNU General Public License, Version 2, June 1991 (the “License”) and the Terms of Use. Please make sure you have read them prior to using the plugin.
