node view gmap: block fix

I'm curious how to do this as well...

I know you can just embed a gmap with static options, like the nodemap (with lat / lon set to the nodes lat / lon).. but i can't figure out how to dynamically call the node's lat lon....

[gmap |id=nodemap|center=39,-121|zoom=12|width=400px|height=200px|markers=blue::39,-121]

Is this what you are looking for?

Now instead of displaying views content in a 'list' your content will appear in a Google map.

You can add map to node by adding block "location" - it works fine and displays marker too

ahhh... beautiful.

Thanks much.

I can't find this block :-o what module is it part of?

thanks,

Location map block under Blocks.

I'm not seeing any Location map block on my blocks page. Is there some more detailed documentation on this? Thanks.

I think there is some miscommunication here. I do not see how a block plays into showing the map on the finished node page. I can see the map when creating or editing the node. I just can't get it to show up after I save it. I can see the location information, but not the map. There has to be something I'm missing in the setup somewhere, possibly in the Content Types configuration.

Does anyone have any tips to offer? Thanks.

No, its just the way it is. Enable location block to add it to content area and when you will view node, block will show up, kinda. I know its stupid system, but i guess location module suffers from its own legacy.

I tried out the block and it works, but it's displayed after *all* node content - including comments. So if you have just a few comments, it's not obvious that you even have a map without scrolling all the way down. If I could get it above the content, that would be doable. Is there any way to do that? If not, I guess I'll have to forgo the map entirely and rely on the Google Maps link.

I really hope embedding it in the node itself is somewhere on the road map - that would be killer.

You can place a block within the contents of a node by referring to this post -

http://drupal.org/node/26502

And see it in action here -

The specific code I am using is:

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

Don't forget to turn on your PHP filter.

Also, in your content type, if it is a cck content type, you can add cck fields to it, like a ViewField (or ViewsField) and that View can be a view that uses the display "gmap". Then you can drag and drop and reorder the map within the content (or cck fields that store your content).

I agree documentation is needed.

I started a new issue and will try and get some documentation up. See #434714: documentation/faq/help

I'll mark this one fixed because I think a lot of ways to get the map on the node are listed above.

@ mediahackers : hei, that sounds an interesting way how to get it work... but actually it doesn't work for me:

i'm running drupal 6.13 and both latest releases of gmap and location modules.

Neither the Location Map Block works for me... any idea?

thanks a lot

Having a choice in the CCK field to display it as a link or embedded map on the node would be cool!

I am glad this issue is closed and well worth remembering for documentation.

There is a final solution to fix this problem permanently, I believe it to be a cck fix.

Here is the issue for this now: node view gmap: location cck fix which will make cck handle the node view with map included and enable theme support.
