Hi there,
I am relatively new to Drupal so i still seem a little lost with embedding a map on to a node.
I am currently trying to make a website that lists the features of a property(house) its pictures and a map displaying where it is. The map is where i am stuck.
I embeded a map using a gmap cck but why cant this field get information of the location module(which gets geocoding information from the google website)
Any help would be much appreciated.
cheers
Nash
ps: i was not sure if i was meant to post this here or in the forums.

The gmap cck field doesn't yet have location integration.
You currently need to use either php-code or a gmap view.

Cheers for the quick reply Ray.
Have you had a chance to look at the See Map Module ? In that module you dine the fields that contain the location information on your form and presto automatically it gets a link on your node/page to the location on your google map.
Is there a way of using that module as a start and modifying it to display a map on the page instead?

Here is a bit of a workaround I used for displaying the marker of the current node:

Created a Computed CCK field (let's name it gmap_getmynid) with the following entries:

Computed code:
if (!$node->nid) node_save($node);
$node_field[0]['nid'] = $node->nid;

Display format:
$display = $node_field_item['nid'];

This will return an array with the current node nid (in field field_gmap_getmynid). You do not have to display the field, but it's cool to see if it actually works. :)

In Google map CCK set Marker noderef: gmap_getmynid.

If you're doing this with already existing nodes, edit and save them otherwise the array is not populated.

And voila the map CCK shows the marker for the node it's sitting on.

Hope this helps,
Tadej

Tadej, that sounds useful, but where in Google map CCK do you set Marker noderef: gmap_getmynid? Can you please me more specific?

Tadej commented

Your content type > Your google map view CCK field > configure

Marker noderef input field is in the Google Map settings box (at the bottom).

If you cannot see it make sure you have the Node Reference CCK module installed.

Best regards,
Tadej

See gmap_cck in GMap Addons.

How? Can yopu explain further. I didn't get it working.
When/where does the marker on for this node was set? Can we set the marker on the fly like the gmap macro?
If we edit this node, can we edit the marker as well?

Thanks
