This is documentation how to use Googlemaps Plugin with Jreviews to display maps of custom fields. You ave several option:
Notes:
- Make sure the Googlemap plugin comes after the jReviews comment bot.
- Disable the click2search feature as this can break the code.
- Insert the code in the com_component.html template, anywhere in between the patTemplate tags.
- JR_xxx variables ARE case sensitive.
This documentation is provided by Stewart Christian. There is also a discussion at JReviews support forum .Using Lon & LatIf geocoding is available in a country then you can use an address.
Create a custom field for longitude (JR_LON) and latitude (JR_LAT). These contain the latitude and longitude values
Add the code in the com_content.html template of Jreviews:
{mosmap width='500'|height='400'|lat='{JR_LAT}'|lon='{JR_LON}'| zoom='3'| zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Normal'| showMaptype='1'|overview='0'}
Using an addressCreate a custom field for your address. It is best to use a different field for each parameter of the address so parameters can be added as needed. An example is :
For US,
JR_ADDRESS
JR_CITY
JR_STATE
JR_ZIPCODE
For UK
JR_STREET
JR_TOWN
JR_COUNTY
JR_POSTCODE
Add the code in the com_content.html template of Jreviews:
{mosmap width='400'|height='300'| address='{JR_ADDRESS},{JR_CITY},{JR_STATE},{JR_ZIPCODE},US'| zoom='5'| zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Normal'|showMaptype='1'|overview='0'}
or
{mosmap width='400'|height='300'| address='{JR_STREET},{JR_TOWN},{JR_COUNTY}'| zoom='5'| zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Normal'| showMaptype='1'|overview='0'}
{mosmap width='400'|height='300'|address='{JR_POSTCODE}'| zoom='5'| zoomType='Large'|zoomNew='0'|mapType='Normal'| showMaptype='1'|overview='0'}
