Enabling block isn't showing the map

Did you add the location-map block to the content region of those pages?

I think this should work in your tpl file:

$block = module_invoke('gmap_location', 'block', 'view', 0);
print $block['content'];

More at http://drupal.org/node/164799

One thing to consider is to make a different view (of type GMap) for each content type, and generate a block.

Then you can place the block anywhere you want for each content type. (If you use pathauto to generate a path containing an identifying string, it's easy to include a block in certain types. Otherwise, I've seen some php code that activates blocks on certain content types.)

Hi,

I have nodes with the google map code, and on those nodes the see-map links is shown.
I enabled the location-map block, but the block only shows the map of the profile-user-location.
See: http://isnow.in/test

The block is not connected to the node-content?
Can anybody help with this?

Another option is to get the real map showing on the node, and not the see-map links. I asked this allready also in another post.

Hi,

I got it working with underneath snippet! thanks to: http://drupal.org/node/181340

<?php 
      if ( ($node->type == 'page') || ($node->type == 'weblink' ) && ($teaser != 1) )
      {
        $homes=array('id' => 'outfittermap',
             'zoom' => 8,
             'width' => '300px',
             'height' => '200px',
             'type' => 'Map',
             'latitude' => $location['latitude'],
             'longitude'=> $location['longitude'],
             'markers' =>
               array( array('markername' => 'blue',
                     'latitude' => $location['latitude'],
                     'longitude' => $location['longitude']
               ))
        );
        $outfittermap = theme('gmap', array('#settings' => $homes));
        print $outfittermap;
      }
    ?>

The only thing what is missing is the variable to get this snippet not run with all page and weblink nodes.
Is there a variable, with which you can see if there is a map attached to the node?

Greetings,

Why not just check to see if the $location['latitude'] and $location['longitude'] variables are not equal to zero? The only time that would fail is if you're at 0 deg latitude and 0 deg longitude (somewhere just south of Ghana in the Atlantic Ocean, I believe)

Hi Tom,

Will #4 also work under D6?
Will look into this!
greetings,
Martijn

I would also like to know that.

This sort of works for D6, same results all around though.. Firefox 3 craps out when GE is set as the default map.

http://groups.drupal.org/node/13364

I'm also having difficulty displaying a map on the node page.
I have the block enabled in the content area, and I have the $content variable printing in the TPL (all the content is showing up).
I have a working key (works when I manually insert a map and initialize it with Google's suggested function for the API)...

Is there some command I'm missing?

Weird sort of thing going on with Pathauto in my installation... or maybe a cache thing, but it's working fine now.
;)

Hello

How Can I Show GMAP of particular location on Particular Node in Drupal Website???????

I know you posted this over a year ago. But I just recently had to deal with this, so thought I'd post here real quick incase someone else finds this helpful.
My solution was to create a block in views and use 'arguments' to pull the 'nid' from the path. Works great!
And then limit the block to only show on the particular node paths.

I'm using location, gmap, views running on D6.

Here are my argument settings in Views for my block view. (you'll have to tweak for your own needs)
Add argument 'Node: nid'
action to take place if no argument is present: "provide default argument"
Choose: "PHP Code"
paste:

 $path = $_GET['q'];
$path = explode("/", $path);
return $path[1];

What's happening here is I'm pulling the args via _GET. 'explode' to get rid of slashes and save args in an array.
In my case I needed the second argument, so I returned $path[1] as the first argument is $path[0]. This is where you may need to tweak for your own scenario.

And voila.

Remember to set the Block to display "only on listed pages" under the block's settings. In my case it was 'stores/*'

Just to add that you can also use eriknewby's procedure above do the same for a User node in Drupal 6. Build your View in the same manner and choose User: Uid as the only argument. Then pick:

Action to take if argument is not present:
Provide default argument

Default argument type:
User ID from URL

Validator:
PHP code

and for the code use:
$path = $_GET['q'];
$path = explode("/", $path);
return $path[1];

Obviously the User record has to have geodata otherwise you won't get a map in the page at all.
