Error!

Hi,

I would like to port that module into d6, because I need a module that convert an address into a google map marker, and I think this module fill that need. Before working on the port, I would like to test it in D5

However, I understand nothing how to configure that module, I installed Gmap and configured it, the map is displayed in gmap preview module, ok, now go to configure a gmap address field.

I create the CCK field, and the nightmare begun, I don't understand all that textfield provided with CCK gmap address, I tried lots of combinaison, but nothing works. I have a single textfield when I create a node (in which I don't know what to put, I tried to write a City name), and, I never could get a map on the node display.

Can you explain me a little how, for example, could I get a map depending on a city name or a full address ?

thank you.

Hi,

I finnaly restard in a fresh install of D5 and I make it worked. I don't know what's wrong on my current install, but I made heavy tweak in it so it's probably my fault ;)

But some little documentation is always welcome :)

In the textfield you can enter any Address or Cityname you want - and is available at GoogleMaps. For some reasons another TopLevelDomain will change results. E.g. maps.google.de has a better range of German locations than maps.gooogle.com.
In the cck field's settings you can enter a TLD (com,de,...) for the googleMaps site. There you can also select a minimum accuracy for your addresses (e.g. to require to enter an address with at least a street name)
To select the display of the field, simply go to your node type's display settings, and choose one of the given Formats (e.g GMap - Single). If you are not doing this step, nothing will be shown in your node view.

The format you can enter your address is any format you can use on GoogleMaps. So only one textfield is needed to input Street, City and so on. A second textfield (in multiple field cases) will be a new address.

CCK GMapAddress is a module that uses GoogleMaps to validate an address. You can (need not) display as GoogleMaps, but you also simply can display them as simple text.

A documentation will come with the first RC, but at the moment I have no time for it.

But at any problem, simply post your question (best with some screenshot ;) )
