Great Extension, but problem with FIND option



Posted on 04 March 2012
Hi

The extension is overall great, easy to set up and use. But the "find option" does not work for me. I am building a website on which I will make a map and place markers on it, and I want users to easily find those markers using the FIND option.

I made few test markers and tried the FIND option. I enter the name of the marker but it takes me on the different continent. I tried on different markers, but it does not work. Can You please help me resolve this issue, because the component is really great!



Thank You very much.
Owner's reply: Hi.
As you can read in documentation and fields labels, 'Find' option is find any place by geocoding. It is not find through (in) your placemarks. Today there is no option find placemark, you can only find address and center map into it.
But you can use placemarks list to show users your placemarks and position on it.

Additionaly, you can enable places library and autocomplete field, and when you type into Find field, the field will show addresses, which 'like' you enter. In this case you select more clear address for geocoding.

And I get only first result in geocoding.

I think I'll do in one time 2 features: search in placemarks, and list of results when you use Find option

Thanks, Dmitry

PS in any case ask me in my forum ;) about capabilities, check Tutorials in documentation

Great!

It's a great component, more flexible than his competitor and with more functions, and the support is fast and successfull!!

Joomla 1.5



Posted on 14 February 2012
version 1.5 not available ?? It would be excellent if V1.5 ready..
Owner's reply: Are you joking :) ?!
There are a lot of 1.5 extensions, and I've developed and mark my extensions that it started for 1.6. And you want to downgrade my development to 1.5, when 2.5 is active and 1.5 is will be in history in one time.

Great Features, some glitches



Posted on 11 February 2012
It has fantastic Google Map functionality.



My only issue with the documentation was in figuring out the .klm files - I had to do a bit of outside research for that. I never could get the polyline feature in the paths to work, could be me.



I do find that the map is glitchy on the front end. I have it set with a default zoom level and the latitude and longitude, so I think that it should come in the same place every time that the page is refreshed. Instead it zooms in on random areas at different zoom levels, even with a page refresh. What is up with that? Could be very confusing for the end user.
Owner's reply: Hi, I've replied you in site, and welcome in new forum :)

It can be when you set 'Open InfoWin' to each placemark. Then, when each placemark is created, the map try to do action, which you defined (change zoom, set center or other). You should set this field to 'No' value, and this action don't executed when map is loaded or refreshed :)

If you are not clear understand, please contact with me

Amazing support

Not only is this a great extension that allows the insertion of a map and it customization, but the support from the developer is simply great.



Highly recommend.

Excellent, second to none



Posted on 03 February 2012
This component is absolutely fantastic. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else.
Owner's reply: Thanks, and it on development stage yet.

Next big plan - inslude infobubble support :), but it still in google's trunk release

AWESOME!

Works from the box. Thanks a lot for great component. Highly recommended.

Simply the best - and FREE!

I have tried several (and I mean SEVERAL) Google Map extensions and this one really is brilliant! Many others do not even support KML files, but Zh Google Maps even allows MULTIPLE KML files by use of the 'Paths' function built into the extension. In my experience, this is totally unheard of! These KML files need not be simple lines - point KMLs also work without an issue. I have not yet tried KMZ files.



Support is pretty much instant, bearing in mind that Dmitry operates out of a Russian timezone and he is clearly determined to keep the extension up to date and moving forward.



I have tested it on Joomla 1.7.3 without a problem and I understand that it also works on J2.5.



If you don't have a requirement for a SOBI or K2 type driven site, this is the way to go.



Give it a try - it's quick to install and quick to get to grips with.



Believe me!
Owner's reply: I've check in K2 items, plugin works there :)

works



Posted on 02 January 2012
it works. it's easy. i'm using joomla 1.72



what else? if you just need a map with pin points it works for sure. I'm not using the other functions so i can't comment.

Excellent Component!

I've tried a few Google maps, this one works the best for me. Easy to use, works with all browsers...etc. I highly recommend this to any Joomla user!



I love it, keep up the great work!
