geo targeting articles was created by rottenberg

hello

I have found a very usefull component 'Content Map' www.opensourcesolutions.es/index.php?opt...mla&Itemid=8&lang=en .

To understand how to use it go in this page to instructions and click on the first slice (plugin usage).

this component adds a field in metadata with the latitude / longitude of the article.

I want to use it for a diary of museums.

is this product compatible with Flexicontent

thanks for help

best regards
Michel

Hello, i tested this because it uses 2 content events that i wanted to verify

1. ITEM FORM:
(you are lucky it seems it works, this is not the usual case since form of FC is different than Joomlas):
You need to change a line in the content plugin of it (contentmap.php) to allow it to run inside the flexicontent item form:

Code:

function onContentPrepareForm($form, $data)
{
	if (!($form instanceof JForm)) return false;
	if ($form->getName() != "com_content.article") return true;

Code:

function onContentPrepareForm($form, $data)
{
	if (!($form instanceof JForm)) return false;
	if ($form->getName() != "com_content.article" && $form->getName() != "com_flexicontent.item") return true;

2. FRONTEND ITEM VIEW:
There is a bug-fix (or you may call it improvement) that is needed, you will need r1540+ for it to work

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
-- Add your voice to the FLEXIcontent JED listing with a 5-star...

Hello
I have just installed the RC9a r1547.
I have updated the plugin contentmpap.php as you show in answer.

1st test : I get nothing (white page in place of the Google map).
I thought about a plugin problem (not executed).
I have authorized for the description field the using of content plugin in detail article and in categroy view.

I got an error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/maps/components/com_flexicontent/views/item/view.html.php on line 310

followed by a table of addresses.

thank you for help
best regards

Michel

Fixed this issue and one more, and also improved-fixed the filtering module to use SEF urls via AJAX and support specific OR current category

Please download FLEXIcontent RC9a r1459 for J1.5 / J2.5
