Google map view
description
This snippet will allow you to show google maps on 'views' of drupal content.
Step 1 of 2
Install the views module, location module, and gmaps module.
Step 2 of 2
Copy this code into your template.php file:
function phptemplate_views_view_list($view, $nodes) {
$thismap = gmap_parse_macro('[gmap|id=viewmap|center=37,-100|zoom=3|width=100%|height=400px]');
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
$node_data = node_load(array("nid"=>$node->nid));
$location = $node_data->location;
$newmarker['label'] = '';
foreach ($view->field as $field) {
$newmarker['label'] .= "<p>" . _views_handle_field($fields, $field, $node) . "</p>";
}
$newmarker['point']= $location['lat'] . ',' . $location['lon'];
$newmarker['markername']='drupal_view';
$thismap['markers'][]= $newmarker;
}
$output .= gmap_draw_map($thismap);
return $output;
}Now instead of displaying views content in a 'list' your content will appear in a Google map.
Drupal 5
Note that for Drupal 5 it is enough to install the modules, the gmaps will contain an extra list type for the Views module.
