Thread

I have a Google map which displays 1000’s of markers, what i want to do is just load a certain amount of markers from the current location, a bit like how property / estate agent websites have.

What i want to do is load a JSON file with the results, how is it possible to query EE to produce a JSON file with the entries from the location on the map?

Thanks

Hi zizther,

I’m not entirely clear on your request. Do you want ExpressionEngine to output JSON via channel entries to your map, or the other way around?

ExpressionEngine will output JSON simply by formatting your template in a JSON schema.

Cheers,

Thanks Dan, i think that is what i was looking for, I guess i can then use AJAX to dynamically pull results from EE?

zizther,

Correct, you would do something similar:

{exp:channel:entries
  channel='my-channel'
  limit='5'
  status='not closed'
  orderby='title'
}
{"title": "{title}", "body": "{body}"} 
{/exp:channel:entries}

Cheers!

Thanks Dan!

Hi zizther,
