From the toolbox on the left hand side of the application you select

HTML

bring it on to the page and double click on it.

Give it a name (AA Map for example)

Paste this code from the AA site:

<iframe src="http://widget.maps.aa.co.nz/widget.html ... &sb=1&mc=2" width="300" height="240" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Hi B I dont think this is possible but I may be wrong I dont remember if the german version had this feature or not I will try and look at it and see I may email and ask"Goemo" if theres had this and see were my translation got "Lost in Translation" somewhere I will let you know oneway or the other....still off work as you know why lol....

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 5:56 pm

Tnx me if you find a issue like what eme72 in taliking about let me know as this extension is really a new build based on the updated version from our german friends "Goemo Easy Google Map" I rebuilt just so I know that it is up todate with theres so no one can say why is this not the same as the german boys... it now use's the HTML Toll to insert any information into the balloon as before you had to do line by line....

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 1:25 pm

Glad this new version is working with you after you mentioned you had a problem I took a look at it a decided just to rebuild a new translation... it is easier to use now just having the html tool to add your information that you want displayed

pedro-pecker · Post by **pedro-pecker** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:01 am

Nice extension thanks BaconFries for all the hard work you put into this.
i have a question about it thou?
If i want to put it in a frame (see pic 1) do i have to use a inlineframe?

i tried this without a inlineframe & got this,

it seems that if the extension is sent to the back it adjust the page centering, if is put behind a item it adjust that item to the left?
Am i doing somthing wrong or is that how it is,
As i said if its in a iframe its no problem
regtards

The page at

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

Keeps infinite looping for me. I click the "Agree" checkbox, type my site URL, click "Generate API Key", then it makes me log in with my Google name (which I just created), and then it navigates me right back to

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

with a blank slate as if nothing happened O_o ..?

Does it matter that I am using a Google log-in that does not end in a "@gmail.com" or anything? I'm actually using a mailbox with a .com address that is the same as my site URL. That shouldn't matter though, right?

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Mar 27, 2010 12:43 pm

When you signup for a google account they will send you a email and ask you to verify that it was you that set the account up by asking you to click on a url once you do this then you sould be able to log in to your account.
If you have not recievd this in your email in your inbox I would check you spambox it may have ended up there or check with your host as they may have blocked it arriving.
If none of that applies and you have the account details then you should be able to login without any trouble by signing in as the example shows once logged in all you should need to do is enter your site url agree to the terms and conditions hit generate api key and it should take you to a new page with your api once you have that you should be able to use the map without any trouble.

I appreciate--pretty sure it was just a cache/temp issue, either on their end or mine. Got it now

Hello Bacon,

I have a problem with this extension.

If I insert the control everything is fine and visible until I insert 2 lines of text in the Balloon Information Field. Doing so the complete extension is not visible anymore in preview mode.

Only inserting One line of text. Everything is ok. But after a shift Enter and entering the second line The whole extension is no longer visible in the page.

What am i doing wrong?

*******************UPDATE *******************

Ok i found more

Entering the balloon in htmlcode. in one line works ok.

<b>helloworld</b><br>secondline<br>

But after opening te balloon text again and modifying one line. It goes wrong because the text is now devided over two lines in the editor.

somehow the editor crashes the extension.

please try w3c validation of the page containing a balloon.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ne&group=0

please try w3c validation of the page without a balloon.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ne&group=0

Best regards,
neo_webbuilder.

Morning neo I have had a quick look at this last night but was to tired to really think things out I will take a closer look over the weekend...if I am right I think that the german version had the same issue and they have reverted back to just using single line inputs instead of using the HTML Editor I might even fire off a quick email to Goemo and ask if this was the case as I have noticed that they have rebuilt the extension using what I mentioned about single line input....watch this space....

Okay. I will. But please if a single line is implemented be aware that using <b> and </b> will lead to w3c compliance problems.

I now inserted all the code manually in the page html stripped off all the problems and it is working as i used to build these pages. It would be nice if the extension can be used but i have it working again so for me it is not necessary. But thanks anyway. there is no rush.

I'm now looking at the ajax local search for google maps and implementing it.

It will also be working this weekend. After which i can copy the page and put in into every website which needs a interactive google map.

By the way the GLat/ Glong coding at Goemo does not support copy of the coordinates.

My website does. So may be mention it in the pdf of the extension?

Hi BaconFries,
Can an html link be included in the ballon box?
I've tried to add the follw:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
but on preview the map doesn't show up. Is this causing an error?

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 6:09 pm

@ Islander I will try and get a look at this tonight and see if I can fix this as it should be possible to just write like this

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 8:17 pm

If you wish to use the extension then it will require a api key this is only available if you have a google account you can make a account here
https://www.google.com/accounts/Service ... ageAccount
once you have this then you will need to access this url
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html to get your key scroll down the page to were it says My web site URL: insert your site address like this http://www.kgband.no/ and then generate your key....

may I ask how quickly that you need to use the map the reason for asking is I am working on a newer version of the map that will use API v3 and it doesnt need any API key to work it only requires that you input details such as the latitude, longitude etc and the country code it is still a couple of days work but if you can wait it will save you having to use a api key...

Hi baconfries,

I've just loaded v3 & input the co-ordinates but all I get is a greyed out box with the google logo, the zoom + & - , the scale chart reading 1 metre to 1 foot and the map, satellite, hybrid, terrain box.

I have removed v1 google maps.

I have published the whole site locally & tried to view the page with the map from their & also from the preview in wysiwyg software.

I'm puzzled why this is not working?

Any clues would be appreciated.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 5:24 pm

It looks like you may have inserted the long & lat in the wrong properties try reversing the way you have it a present, also just keep map ID as "map"

Note: Like Pablo I too will be away from the 5th to the 9th Dec...I will try to answer all questions as soon as I can...

JimmyJazz · Post by **JimmyJazz** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 6:16 pm

Hi Baconfries,

I had already read previous posts about both suggestions & tried to no avail.

lat & long is correct & I am uninstalling & re-installing & trying to only input the lat/long & leaving all other parameters the same but when I preview or publish locally I am getting same problem.

I have even cleared the cache.

I have just upgraded from 7.0.0 to the latest version, could this be the reason I am having problems?

BTW......................thanks for fast response to earlier query

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 6:24 pm

If at all possible can you provide a url to the page the map/extension is on it would allow me to see what my be wrong... also note that this version of the extensiondoes not require you to use a API key as it is no longer needed or if this is not possible can you provide the cordinates so that I may try them...

Hi Baconfries,

unsure what to do or say........my big fault in life is trying to be a perfectionist & I have been creating the content for this site for a good few months now. I still have to add many features to this site & it is not yet ready for publishing.

However, I have deleted many of the pages & I am leaving just the basic pages for each state with only one page now attempting to use the google map.

If you could look at this page & give me some feedback on how to makit function I would really appreciate it.

fyi..............i have only tried it in firefox & chrome.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:16 pm

Ok I have taken a look at your site and I have got a copy of the cordinates that you used I have tried these in the extension using IE7 and this is the result see Image 1... the address of thre club/bar in the site or location gives me different cordinates see image 2 I dont know what one you wish to use but I have tried both and are working in Preview using IE7..... you can also use this site to get you long and lat cordinates

I surrender for tonight, i got a bit stressed & had a few beers.

I will look back 2moro with a clear head. However my browser did not reveal the same result as yours!

I will review 2moro before I post reply.

In the meantime many thanks for you trying to help me, it is appreciated

JimmyJazz · Post by **JimmyJazz** » Fri Dec 03, 2010 11:10 am

Hi Bacon,

The first map you posted gave incorrect location.

The 2nd map is the location of a map on another page & is correct for that location.

I deleted all google maps from the site & reloaded google maps into wwbs7.

I have checked the coordinates with the site you provided & input them into google map for that location.

I still cannot view the map, it is just greyed out. This is the only map installed on the site now. I have tried to view in ie, chrome & ffox & cannot view in any.

I have google maps installed in mydocs/wysiwyg,system/extensions

I am running version 7.2.1 & I am using google maps from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?ozl6by1pbb3ueyj

Is this correct or does it have to be installed in C/program files/wysiwyg?

The only webpage with a map installed is this one:

http://spy.my/penang/queens.html

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:32 pm

I think I may know what is wrong...are you using the streetview verion of the extension??? if so does your location allow the use of streetview?? ....Streetview is only available in certain parts of the world as of yet were "Google" have visited and taken pictures of the area so that the user can see what the area looks like other than just a map of the area...This is mentioned in the original posting....I would suggest that you try using the other version of the map Web Builder 7.1.0/Extension Builder 2.5.0 do not worry about the WB version as the extension was built using 2.5.0 extension builder and this is for WB7....

Google Maps Streetview API v3
I have added streetview to the extension please note that streetview may not be available to all users of the extension this is "Not" a fault of the extension but with "Google" so before posting that streetview does not work please check with "Google" that your location can use the streetview function

JimmyJazz · Post by **JimmyJazz** » Fri Dec 03, 2010 1:52 pm

Hi Bacon,

I have tried your suggestion but I still cannot view the map, I only get a greyed out map.

However, I experimented with loading co-ordinates from the UK & the UK maps load every time.

I am in Malaysia & the map I was trying to view was for Penang. I have loaded co-ordinates for 2 other Malaysian cities & I get the same greyed out map.

When you click on my site can you see the map from your location?

http://www.spy.my/penang/queens.html

I remember your earlier version of google maps used to work for Malaysia so I am a bit puzzled by this

Any ideas

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Dec 03, 2010 3:42 pm

This is starnge because if I enter the long and lat that is in the js from the demo page you gave the map works alright for me, even if I enter other long and lats for other countries ie germany, france it seems to work as it should.....

out of curiosity does it work in preview?? can you just try adding the map to a single page no other content and see if it works....

JimmyJazz · Post by **JimmyJazz** » Fri Dec 03, 2010 4:39 pm

Hi Bacon,

No it does not work in preview either.

Although countries like the UK do work in preview.

I just created a blank page & tried again but it still does not work.

As you say this is a strange problem but I'm unsure how to get this working.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Dec 04, 2010 7:20 pm

As I say strange....I will try and look into what might be wrong but I will be away for a few days and may not be able to relpy as quick as I normally this is due to restrictions on using laptops so please be patient....

Note: Like Pablo I too will be away from the 5th to the 9th Dec...I will try to answer all questions as soon as I can...If I can due to restriction of using laptop....
