Info window isn't expanding to contain info window content

Marked http://drupal.org/node/371326 as a duplicate of this issue. Also changed version to 6.x-1.x-dev as it still happens there.

I'm having the same problem, and I think it's because the height of the windows are calculated before the image loads (hence my request for preloading content).
This can be tested by clearing your browser cache, then viewing an info window with an image (it will appear as per your screenshot). If you then close the info window and open that same one again, because the image is now in your browser's cache, the window should expand to include the whole image.
Just need someone to work out how to preload info window content, or not calculate window dimensions before images have fully loaded...

As for getting rid of the Lat/Long values, you simply choose not to display them (even though they're included in the view, they don't have to actually appear...)
However, as you're using Views 1, I'm not sure if this is possible. You may need to create a custom .tpl.php file and hide the fields using that. Failing all else, you can just use CSS to display: none; the Lat/Long fields.
Hope that helps!

Changed the title as this issue is not only for images but for the entire info window content.
The latest 6.x.1.1-rc1 has the same bug.

Any workaround?

+1 on this!

Also seeing this issue, "bubbles" are not expanding to take all the CCK fields exposed in a GMap view. They always seem to be about 20px too short. Had a look at the code, but it's complicated and I don't have time right now to try and work out how/where the dimensions are being generated. =(

See attached screenshot for reference. As I add more fields, it does grow but is always a little too small. The bottom is not being drawn in the right place.

Hi there,
I found a temporary solution when displaying the teaser inside the info window.
I added a div tag of about 50 px height after all the fields (adding two p tags also worked). This workaround was good for firefox and ie but not for safari.
Still waiting for a definitive solution...

Cheers

Thanks! Neat temporary workaround - didn't think of that. =)

hey guys where do you put the div or the p tag exactly - im having the same issue also . not all the fields entered are showing up . especially the title field which is th e most important for me

+1 same issue at http://www.day-trips.ca/map/node

Has there been any progress made on this issue?

Not as far as I'm aware; I was sure that the 'adding a div/break/whatever' route looked like a workaround until I realised that the images were cached by my browser when I changed the code, and the uncached page still had popups that looked like cr@p - I worked around the issue with images in a D5.x Views 1 page by overriding theme_views_view_gmap with phptemplate_views_view_gmap in my theme's template.php file, and adding the images wrapped in a div styled like this

.cr-map-cached-image {
 position: absolute;
 top: 0;
 left: 0;
 width: 1px;
 height: 1px;
 overflow: hidden;
}

to the output before returning theme('gmap', $thismap)

It's a bodge, not a fix, but it works - see http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/teams/members/map/gb

Surprisingly, there didn't seem to be too much of a performance hit, even with an empty cache, but I'm still playing with this...

Also, has there been any further progress, or any suitable workarounds? I.e., any that actually work, no matter how temporary? Thanks

My technique of effectively preloading the images works; I've not seen anything else...

No need for pre caching the imagecache images

if you know the size of the image to be displayed use something like this in your css

.gmap-popup .views-field-field-thumbnail-fid{
  height:200px;
  width:300px;
}

where thumbnail is the name of the imagecache field to be displayed

using drupal 6 version of module

This is a problem for me with node teaser content. The Content is consistently the same amount larger than the info window.
