Description
how can i define default location zoom level and Map option (satellite), cause by default it start with full map
#1
Just found out how to change the default location. I know really know that much about coding so this might not be the right way to do it.
1. Open modules\cck_map\cck_map.js
2. go to line 12 -> « this.map.setCenter(new GLatLng(0, 0), 1); »
3. The numerical values are the latitude the longitude and the zoom level. Change to your liking :)
ex: this.map.setCenter(new GLatLng(40, -8), 5); sets the map to show Portugal and Spain

This is a workaround, but it'd be nice for it to be configurable in the settings ui so that novice Drupal users and lazy Drupal experts can easily configure it.

Another way of doing it (without hacking the module) is to add some customized javascript code in a custom module.
The following snippet assumes your cck_map field is called "field_map" (then the javascript object is "field_mapmap").
You'll also need to ensure that this code snippet gets called after cck_map's initialization code is run. I used hook_form_alter and the "drupal_add_js()" function with $type = 'inline' as shown below.
function mymodule_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {if ($form_id == 'my_cck_map_content_type') {
$cck_map_stuff = <<<EOD
if (Drupal.jsEnabled) {
$(document).ready(function () {
if ((field_mapmap.map.getCenter().lat() == 0) &&
(field_mapmap.map.getCenter().lng() == 0)) {
field_mapmap.map.setCenter(new GLatLng(39.833322799504, -98.583068847656), 3);
}
});
}
EOD;
drupal_add_js($cck_map_stuff, 'inline');
}
}
(The coordinates used above center the map on the United States)
The if-statement ensures that the map doesn't already have another center defined (this happens when editing an existing node).
