Hi Baconfries,

Hey no worries, I'll check back in a couple of days then.

@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.

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...

Wysiwyg builder ver. 8.5.4
Extension: google maps v3 (recent version)

Right latitude and longitude:

lat.jpg

Results:

map.jpg

Tested with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE.
Do you know if Is there a problem with Google Maps?

The old "google map street v.3" still works fine!

Thanks a lot...

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Feb 15, 2013 1:23 am

@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.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Feb 15, 2013 1:27 am

@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.

redbadnap · Post by **redbadnap** » Fri Feb 15, 2013 6:06 pm

Hi Bacon, you're right! I forgot to enter the width and height of the pin!

(Am I stupid?

)
Thank you very much!

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:29 pm

@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>

@BF - As you pointed out, you were right. It works like a charm. Thanks again.

BF;
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

http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/ ... index.html

At the moment I am on phone. When I get back to PC I will get a closer look, and be able to say more.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:01 pm

lol, I was meaning I was out and about and answering from phone....

. Ok it cant be done directly with the extension sorry. I know this has been asked in another thread. I will look at the code from the url you gave and see if anything can be done, just at the moment I am running about like a "Blue Ar**d Fly" doing other things but will see what can be done...

Hi bacon,

I am using your google maps plugin (btw, in the extension manager it says created by pablo software) i've entered the long/lat for the adress that i want, but i don't see the pin, what am i missing?

preview is here

Rebel Studio · Post by **Rebel Studio** » Sat Aug 24, 2013 3:15 pm

Ahh i figured it out, now i got a different problem, i've put in exact locations of the adress the marker needs to be but it is off, tried different cords but it stays on the same spot

edit:
Nvm, also fix that, had to change icon properties, works fine now

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..?

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:14 am

Edit: Never mind. It's working

.

THANKS FOR THE AWESOME OBJECT/EXTENSION!

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.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Dec 14, 2013 4:23 pm

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.

Vlastimil · Post by **Vlastimil** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 1:29 pm

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?

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 1:50 pm

This has been asked before and the answered provided. Please read though the previous posts were the answer is given also take time to fully read the PDF file enclosed.

Vlastimil · Post by **Vlastimil** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 2:00 pm

Thanks, I read the manual of course, sorry, maybe I miss this. I try found this and search this forum.

bry · Post by **bry** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 11:31 pm

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

Extension has been Re-Released Google Maps API v3 ***Re-Released 16/07/2014***

bry · Post by **bry** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 12:39 am

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!!!

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 12:54 am

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.

Vlastimil · Post by **Vlastimil** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:17 am

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.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:46 am

Please download the update that I have just made as of today 17/07/2014 11:45 thuis should resolve this for you.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:56 am

***17/07/2014***To all you may have download and tried to install and get the successfully installed message but extension does noot show in the program please redownload and try installing again as I have made a new download to solve this.

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