Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/11/112***
@JimmyJazz Ok I am back, I have just took a quick look at this, now when I add the jquery Tabs to a blank page and add the latest version of the extension using the lat&long already in the properties and just add two pins for images it seems to work as it should. One issue could be is that you are only setting the size of the map to 400px x400px instead of setting the size to fit the area of the Tab area that it is resting in. Another thing I also noticed is this, can you say what version of the jQuery Tabs are you using? looking at the source it looks like you are using a very old version of jQuery ie 1.4.2 were the version I am using is 1.7.2, on another note it may also be a conflict with the discus script that your using. As I have said I have just quickly looked at this, what I would ask is this, try inserting a jQuery tabs on a blank page insert the map extension and see if it still gives this and let me know...as always I will do what I can to assit.
Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/11/112***
Hi Baconfries,
jquery is same as yours 1.7.2 (live site maybe older version as when it was installed but the issue is still exactly the same)
I tried what you suggested & created a new page & placed some text on 1st tab & a map inside the 2nd tab without any html boxes or disqus & found the following browsers rendered the page:
chrome - success
IE 8 - success
opera - success
safari - success
firefox v18 - failed
I made the map 95% the tab width & the icon still does not display in FF (i must drag down to the right)
I'm unsure if this is connected, but, I also found that Disqus does not work on firefox when nestled inside jquery tabs
Just wondering, were you able to replicate (on ff) the issue I described?
What version ff & was it success?

Good morning, has anyone had this problem? Note the map icon image and the shadow, and the strange behavior with the zoom...

@JimmyJazz I will need to look at this further, on testing the map with the jQuery Tabs you can insert the map in the first with no issue it on on inserting in the second that it loses focus. If needed i will contact Pablo asking for his input to maybe why you can use on thr first and not others.

@redbadnap looking just at the screenshots alone (As I cant view the code of the page extension used on) it looks like you have not entered and height and width for either the map pin image and the shadow this would explain why it looks odd in various zoom.
Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/11/112***
Hi Bacon, you're right! I forgot to enter the width and height of the pin! (Am I stupid? )
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!

@JimmyJazz I have found a little workaround insert the following in Page HTML Between <head></head>tags let me know if this works for you.
<style type="text/css">
.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-hide {
position: absolute !important;
left: -10000px !important;
display:block !important;
}
</style>

Is there anyway to "Skin" the Google Maps? I have seen on some sites where it is skinned to suit the overall look of the site. like this

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/11/12***
Anybody know why my map isn't working on this page:
http://www.ktravisj.com/lulu/contactus.php
It's supposed to be on the bottom, in the little area just to the right of "Directions From Houston".
What I did was copy/paste the same object that I use on this page (which is working):
http://willbanksmetals.com/contact.php
But it is not working over here on
http://www.ktravisj.com/lulu/contactus.php
..help..?
The address I'm trying to do for the map is:
5205 Avenue U
Galveston
Texas 77551
And when I go to this website and plug in those values:
http://www.latlong.net/convert-address-to-lat-long.html
I get these coordinates:
Latitude - 29.274581
Longitude - -94.820042
And I plugged these into the extension in the appropriate spots..?

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/11/12***
It would be really great if I could simply add the link to a map I've already made (or a link to a specific listing in Google )from within Google and use your extension to embed the map with w3c compliant code. is this possible? I've played a little bit with it and it doesn't seem to like the link I've added (cannot be viewed in iframe it says). The code supplied by Google is not w3c compliant but works non-the-less. Just a thought. Thank you for your time.

The code is complient, the reason that you are getting the so called errors is most likely due to that you are the HTML 5 doctype. You should note that the HTML 5 testing in W3C is still experimental so you should expect errors till it is fully supported by all the main browsers.
Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/11/12***
When the maps is zoomed, the point position is moved from original position to wrong position. The difference is according to zoom, some meter - hundert meters. What i made wrong?

Hi BaconFries,
Can you post a manual download link? My Extension Manager is not working. I uninstalled the extension expecting to download it again to get the pdf. Instead, it has vanished. I cannot make it appear again as available no matter how many times I have updated the extension list and restarted wb9.43.
Thanks Much!!! NEVERMIND. I found it on an old drive. Wow, sometimes saving those things pays off.
thanks

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Re-Released 16/07/2014***
Thank you very much BaconFries. I did look for your email. I'm afraid it probably was lost with a hard drive recently (like few days ago). I generally use an iMac for email and it was a great system until the drive died. (Did you know you have to pull the glass to get to that sucker?)
Anyway, I am waiting on the correct drive and other parts. I hope I can recover it as it is too expensive to buy another one (and not really worth it). But since I had deleted emails from server, that drive is the only cache of emails from way back.
If you hear from me in next week, you will know I was successful. If not, please email me again. Do you still have my email address? If not, I will post it here long enough for you to get it and then remove.
But once again, thanks for the extension. Is this an upgrade from the older model I have???
Thanks!!!

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Re-Released 16/07/2014***
Bry the Translated version is no longer supported anymore. The version here now use Google APIv3 script this version does not require a API code as at the original release google had decided that it was not required unlike previous version using Google APIv2. I did look at your map and code from the url you provided in your other thread and it use the same code/script as this version so you will now be able to read the enclosed PDF to find out moreon how to use. Right take care again I am needing to try and catch some sleep so I am going to close. If you need any hr=elp regarding the extension please post in this thread were I will try and answer asap...

Hi Bacon, Installing your latest version will not show up in the extension manager or list even though the files have been installed into the extension folder, I am using WB9.4.3. If I copy the old version 1.1.0.4 back to the extension folder it will show up again.

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Re-Released 16/07/2014***
Thank you very much BaconFries. I using latest version WWB 9.4.3 and have instaled previous version 3.1.1.0 09/20/2013. But I don`t see this update in Extension Manager
UPDATE: After uninstalling old version i see this now and can be installed - I get the message "Succesfully installed!".
googlemapsv3.jpg, googlemapsv3.pdf and googlemapsv3.xwb files exist in extension directory.
But I don`t see Google Maps in Extension, when i run again Extension manager, Gogle Maps is possible install again.
When I made this, I got again the message "Succesfully installed!".
Maybe problem is, that downloaded googlemapsv3.zip contains source file googlemapsv3.xwb, not compiled googlemapsv3.wbx.

The extension can still be used normally as it was designed for just not for use with mobile.
