Hello
I'm using Content maps and It's working great (very simple to use as we enter the address for Gogl map in the meta datas).

I want to use it for a Events calendar in Flexicontent.
I have 2 type of articles :
- venues (the address of the Venue where I use Content map
- Events : te detail of the event and a link by a selct field to te venue address.

Contentmpas may show easily a map for all articles of a (Main) category in a Google map. So I have no problem to show all venues on a map.

My problem : I want to show the events with the address of the corresponding venues in a map.
How can I get the latitudes-longitudes recorded in the metadate venues article, and put them in the events metadata.

If any solution exists with another map extension, I'm also interested.

What's I need is giving the articles author a simple solution to use Google map

thank you for help
best regards

Michel

You mean that you want to use the data of a FLEXIcontent field into the Google Map (displayed by the joomla plugin "Content-Map")

This can be done only by hacking the plugin code and doing a little custom development.

Instead, can you not enter these data inside the form fields displayed by the plugin in the item form? (i have not used the plugin much, i only used it to make a fix in our plugin triggering (we missed triggering an event in item form))
