Issue creating a Gmap View with this data

Any ideas or help on this? I need to resolve this as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Will

I reviewed the comment you linked. I have tried with and without the patch and I cant make it work either way. I also installed the most recent version of Geo (there have been updates since this was opened).

This is still an issue...

BTW, thanks for looking into this. I forgot that part... :)

This still seems to be an issue. Have you been able to create a Gmap View with data collected with this module?

Cheers,

Will

It looks as if this issue has moved from the issue queue of the GMap + Geo Module to the Gmap Module. The issue is that information entered via the Geo / Gmap + Geo module can not be mapped on a Gmap view... I just wanted to clarify because it was not obvious from the title and description anymore...

thanks for clarifying that bec. :)

Has there been any movement on this??? I need to get the Geo module working with Gmap Views.

Hey bec,
I worked with vauxia a bunch tonight and put together a working version of a Gmap for Geo views plugin. I will get in touch with you tomorrow to figure out how we are going to work it in with your code.

Cheers...

Alright, here it is...

Let me know when you have had a chance to try it.

Cheers

It is worth noting that my patch only works with 'Points' so far...

I will need to update my plugin once these two issues have been resolved in Geo...

I fixed the views issue (http://drupal.org/node/489988), so now we can complete this views plugin.

What is currently in the Gmap + Geo module needs a minor change in order to function correctly. Here is a patch...

           gmap_geo_map_feature($geo_array['value'], $geo_array['type'], $map);
         }
       }

It turns out that your rewrite of my plugin has removed a lot of the functionality that is important to this plugin.

Things you removed that are important to the plugin:
- Marker selection. We need to be able to select what marker we want the field to display as.
- Popup text. The popup for the marker no longer contains the views information that should be passed.

I am looking to add back these features and I ran into something that I think needs to be fixed. Your 'array_for_gmap' does not support all the options for gmap markers (listed below). I am willing to extend your code and send you a patch, but I would like to make sure that we are on the same page on this. Should I just add the details to your numbered array? It seems wrong to me to have that array be a numbered array and not an associative array.

How should I go about adding back in this functionality? I have no problem just hacking your stuff to my needs, but if I am going to write it for me, I figure I might as well do it as you would like and give it to you.

Cheers,

Will

ps - structure of the marker array...
array(
'options' => array(),
'text' => 'start',
'longitude' => 12.196,
'latitude' => -58.13,
'markername' => 'route',
'offset' => 0,
),

Alright, here is what I am currently working with. This patch includes the changes I made in #20.

This may not be the most elegant way to solve this problem, but it is a very simple solution that does not require the rest of the code to change. I basically just checked in gmap_geo_map_feature() to see if the additional information was passed in, and if it was I displayed it. I also updated my views plugin to pass the appropriate information when adding the markers to the map (I am setting 'markername' and 'text' in the views plugin).

This seems to be working for me, so let me know if you have problems or if you think I did something wrong.

Cheers,

Will
