      Snippet code :

      <?php
      /* Snippet name: [[GoogleMapMarker]]
       * Version: 1.0c for ditto v2+
       * Author: doze <[email protected]>
       * 
       * Snippet to generate goolemaps map and place markers 
       * to the maps from documents.
       * 
       * Installation:
       * -------------
       * 1. Create a snippet "phx:slashandstrip" with this content:
       *    return addcslashes(preg_replace("~([\n\r\t\s]+)~"," ",$output), "'");
       *
       * 2. Call the snippet in some document: [[GoogleMapMarker? &apikey=`ABQIA..`]]
       * 
       * How to place markers:
       * ---------------------
       * 1. Create a folder in MODx manager what will keep the marker documents, can be unpublished.
       * 2. Create a new document inside that folder what will be the marker
       *    - Title: Will be used as the marker "sidelink" text (example: My home)
       *    - Description: The coordinates for the marker (example: 63.098332,23.056698)
       *    - Document content: HTML to show in the marker popup. 
       *                        NOTE: You have to escape all ' characters by putting backslash before them, e.g. \'
       * 3. Add the &startID parameter to the snippet call pointing to the folder what has the marker documents
       *    example: [[GoogleMapMarker? &apikey=`ABQIA..` &startID=`52`]]
       *
       * Example GoogleMapMarker template chunk (&tpl)
       * ---------------------------------------------
       * The template must have 2 divs. A div for the map and div for the side links. That's it.
       *
       *  <div id="map" style="float:left; width: 350px; height: 350px;">Loading map...</div>
       *  <div id="maplinks" style="margin-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; display: block; height: 350px; overflow: auto;"></div>
       *

        I’ve gotten myself into a little mess and am probably looking at the long stupid solution to a problem here. Anyway, what I want to do is rather than use only the [+description+] field as pointer content, I’d like to return the actual document which I’ve made a template for to output a nicely structured block using several fields and TV’s for the document. So I was thinking since its a Ditto call, I could just return from a separate snippet ([[BuildPage]] the page built (I’m a bit stuck here) using the [+id+] placeholder as parameter.

          I installed GoogleMapMarker on modx 0.9.5 and it worked perfectly. I upgraded to 0.9.6 and then to 0.9.6.1 and it does not work anymore.
          I have put the new snippet code with phx script, I have removed the cacheable option but nothing appears on my webpage see :
          http://rma.pu-pm.univ-fcomte.fr/lifc/index.php?id=43

          Any idea?

          Snippet code :

          <?php
          /* Snippet name: [[GoogleMapMarker]]
           * Version: 1.0c for ditto v2+
           * Author: doze <[email protected]>
           * 
           * Snippet to generate goolemaps map and place markers 
           * to the maps from documents.
           * 
           * Installation:
           * -------------
           * 1. Create a snippet "phx:slashandstrip" with this content:
           *    return addcslashes(preg_replace("~([\n\r\t\s]+)~"," ",$output), "'");
           *
           * 2. Call the snippet in some document: [[GoogleMapMarker? &apikey=`ABQIA..`]]
           * 
           * How to place markers:
           * ---------------------
           * 1. Create a folder in MODx manager what will keep the marker documents, can be unpublished.
           * 2. Create a new document inside that folder what will be the marker
           *    - Title: Will be used as the marker "sidelink" text (example: My home)
           *    - Description: The coordinates for the marker (example: 63.098332,23.056698)
           *    - Document content: HTML to show in the marker popup. 
           *                        NOTE: You have to escape all ' characters by putting backslash before them, e.g. \'
           * 3. Add the &startID parameter to the snippet call pointing to the folder what has the marker documents
           *    example: [[GoogleMapMarker? &apikey=`ABQIA..` &startID=`52`]]
           *
           * Example GoogleMapMarker template chunk (&tpl)
           * ---------------------------------------------
           * The template must have 2 divs. A div for the map and div for the side links. That's it.
           *
           *  <div id="map" style="float:left; width: 350px; height: 350px;">Loading map...</div>
           *  <div id="maplinks" style="margin-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; display: block; height: 350px; overflow: auto;"></div>
           *

            As a suggested feature, I’d like to see a search field in the marker-popup to get directions from the marker location to a users address (or vise-versa). And second, an easy way to let a user select two pre-listed markers and have the map provide the written directions between the two points.

            Now that would be cool.

                I had a problem with showing markers...
                Map was there, but without markers...

                All the markers shown on page after I changed marker documents to UNPUBLISHED...http://www.spotkg.com/index.php?q=95.html

                  The following problem has been resolved: My default config file in the ditto/configs folder apparently was using short php code (<?). I changed the first line to <?php and that ended my error. Whew, took many hours to figure that one out...Why did the ditto developers use short code in the first place?? Sloppy coding! I hope this helps someone else.
                  -----------
                  My map works fine until I attempt to use markers, then it fails to load.

                  I’m using modx 9.6.1, ditto 2.0.2, doze’s new snippet (pg 6 of this topic), and phX has been uploaded with the chunk phx:slashandstrip

                  --my page containing the GoggleMapMarker snippet is uncached
                  --my marker info resides in an unpublished doc within an unpublished parent doc
                  --my snippet calls the parent doc using the correct parameter (eg: &startID=`29`)
                  --RTE is turned off and no errant code is present in my marker docs or my snippet call

                  Examining the page source, it’s adding some errant PHP code right before it loads my markers which stops the map from loading:
                  <?
                  // Use the following syntax $param = ’value’;
                  ?>

                  This code appears to be coming from the file: configs/default.config.php

                  Here’s the html output with the errant code in that part of my page:
                  // This function picks up the click and opens the corresponding info window
                                  function myclick(i) {
                                      gmarkers[i].openInfoWindowHtml(htmls[i]);
                                  }<?
                  // Use the following syntax $param = 'value';
                  ?>]var point = new GLatLng(45.472050,-89.729939); var marker = createMarker(point, 'Summit', 'Treehaven Environmental Learning Center'); map.addOverlay(marker);var point = new GLatLng(39.759055,-84.194439); var marker = createMarker(point, 'Summit 2', 'Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm'); map.addOverlay(marker);
                                  // put the assembled sidebar_html contents into the sidebar div
                                  document.getElementById("maplinks").innerHTML = sidebar_html;}


                  I know this errant code is the problem because if I copy the entire page source into an editor and remove the code, the map loads perfectly with my markers.

                  Does anyone have any idea why this errant code is appearing and how to remove it?

                    Hi, I didn’t follow this thread closely and only took a look on the GoogleMap Maker snippet, so please ignore me if I am saying something totally different.

                    I just did a static site for a client who insisted on using Google Map, first I thought it would be quite difficult as I really didn’t want to learn the Google API and thought it would also violate Google’s copyrights; I also investigated GoogleMap Maker from Modx, thought everything was way too over my head. Just as I was about to give up, I learned that I can actually use google map iframe to show client’s business location from client’s site. I got the code from Google Map, all I did was entering client’s business location, and had the iframe code generated from there.

                    Just thought if you are trying to do something similar, perhaps getting the iframe code for Google Map is the best way to go.

                      Chinesedream: Your solution may work for a map with a single location, but GoogleMapMarker allows a website manager to easily control a number of map locations with popup infowindow content, all without having to dink with the google map API itself.

                      This snippet is great for managing a handful of map locations which is all many users need. Any more than that and something more sophisticated than unpublished pages would be needed.
