Hi there,
I trying to get the Coollocation extension to work for me and I am having some serious issues. This is how far I have got.
I have set the extension up and linked it to a weblog and the relevant custom fields. It displays the map in the tab on the publish and edit pages and generates the long /lat for me and puts them into the correct fields.
I added this example code from the online doc to my template:
{exp:coollocation:headers type="map"} (between the <head></head>)
{exp:coollocation:mapdiv_example}
{exp:coollocation:map lat="123.123" long="45.45" zoom="1" marker="yes"}A map displays with a marker, but it is totally blank (grey for google or tiled with “no data” for yahoo). I want to display a map with markers for all the posts from the weblog.
To tell you truth, I am new to the google / yahoo maps api and I really don’t have a clue what I am doing and the documentation for the extension is a little thin. Does anyone have an example of the code needed to set up a simple map in a template and a little explanation of what does what? Do I need to write a separate RSS page?
Any help how ever large or small would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt
