Markers based on content type

Im looking for the same functionality. Did you figured out how to solve this?

I'm also looking at this. Did anyone get this working?

I'm using a location field rather than the old node locations, my guess is that this only works with the old node locations system, not the new fields verison

I can see the colours displaying on the inline map for the field, but not on the view where I want to see different colours for different content types.

I've investigated further on this.

The gmap views plugin is looking for a variable 'gmap_node_markers' which should store the the marker for each content type for this functionality to work. I didn't have anything in that variable using fields based locations. I can get the coloured markers working by setting data in that variable manually eg.

variable_set('gmap_node_markers', array('event'=>'blue', 'stakeholder'=>'purple'));

I guess the ideal here would be for the views plugin to support retrieval of marker type from the field setting directly, rather than go via this variable.

New to drupal, please pardon.
In what directory/file would I make the change suggested in russelb #4?
"variable_set('gmap_node_markers', array('event'=>'blue', 'stakeholder'=>'purple'));
"

A simple way of trying this out might be to use the devel module to execute some php, and paste your variable set command in there, replacing my 'event' and 'stakeholder' with your content types.

Another way would be to create a custom module which would set this variable, perhaps alongside any other customisation that you wanted to do to location / gmap. In this case you could create an install file for your module, and use a function like this:

function mymodule_install() {
  variable_set('gmap_node_markers', array('article'=>'blue', 'composer'=>'purple'));
}

I'm still needing to update this variable manually on gmap 2.11.

It looks to me like there's an old D6 hook implementation left over in gmap D7.

gmap_location.module line 934:

/**
 * Implements hook_node_type().
 */
function gmap_location_node_type($op, $info) {
  $temp = variable_get('gmap_node_markers', array());
  switch ($op) {
    case 'delete':
      unset($temp[$info->type]);
      break;

    case 'insert':
      $temp[$info->type] = 'drupal';
      break;

    case 'update':
      if (!empty($info->old_type) && $info->old_type != $info->type) {
        $temp[$info->type] = $temp[$info->old_type];
        unset($temp[$info->old_type]);
      }
      break;
  }
  variable_set('gmap_node_markers', $temp);
}

I don't think hook node type exists any more in D7.

Additionally I assume that the code here was designed to work with node locations, rather than location cck.

Hi, When i put different markers for the content types ( only two ), the map´s views only display three nodes.

Content type 1--> Red
content type 2--> blue
Content Type 3--> green.

But there are 15 nodes. However, If I use the same marker, drupal displays all the nodes.

Can anybody help me?

Sorry for my English!

I use a views with different content type. I want use a different marker each node type. But when i have configured this, the map only display three nodes. However i use the same marker for all types display all correctly.

I need help! Thanks and sorry for my english!
