google map and flexicontent was created by rottenberg

hello

I have developped a shop directory mainly base on Google map
The address of the site : test.naouri-admin.com

I'm using 2 maps components :

Contentmaps which give me the map of all shop
Google maps plugin to display the map of a shop when clicking on a shop icon in the general map

.

I use 2 distinct components as they are complementary :

With Contentmap I enter in the metat data of the article with the product mygeoposition.com the address and the get latitude longitude of this address in the metadata field. I may enter also an specifical icon for this address in the geo data field.
A plugin where I choose the categories of articles gives a map where each icon is an hyperlink to the corresponding article
With Google map plugin I display a map with a lot of informations (street view itinerary, weather... for the current shop.

I need to improve the way to enter the addresses in FC.

I have seen that MyGeoPosition can be integrated into a site (api.mygeoposition.com). How can I integrate it inside a form ?

How can I transfer the latitude longitude and icon (necessary to Contentmap) into the meta data to get COntentmap working ?

Thank you for advices
best regards

Hello Michel,

To get Lat,Lon in item form..

Code:

function appendAddress() {
    var x = document.getElementById("FC_field_1").value;
	var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

      if (geocoder) {
         geocoder.geocode({ 'address': x }, function (results, status) {
            if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
              //console.log(results[0].geometry.location);
			  document.getElementById("FC_field_2").value = results[0].geometry.location.lat()+','+results[0].geometry.location.lng();//console.log(results[0].geometry.location);
            } 
            else {
              document.getElementById("FC_field_2").value = 'No results found: ' + status;
            }
         });
      }
	
}

Include js code
FC_field_1 -> you should change this to your address text field
FC_field_2 -> text field where you want to save Lat and Lon

Add below into Field Attribute on Lat/Lon text field

Code:

onclick="appendAddress()"

Then you have to edit contendmap to call Lat/Lon value..

@ggppdk
Is there anyway to save Lat/Lon field value into the metat data of the article?
Coz ContentMap is loading Lat/Lon value(manually entered by author) from metadata field.

Regards,
Brandon

thank you very much.

How can I get the Javascript in the back end page 'manage an article' ?

Contentmaps is using a very interesting script : api.mygeoposition.com/geopicker/
you define the fields of an adress, the user gets a Google map and you can receive lat/lon, zip code...

If that could be used in FC it would be great.

best regards

Michel

I may have found something which is already integrated inside FC : FC 2.0_fleximag.

It's a plugin developped by yopyop001. It's using Google maps plugin.

I test it and tell what is my opinion about it

best regards

Michel
