Question about Phoca Maps Comp./Plugin

Dirk67 · Post by **Dirk67** » 10 Jun 2009, 10:15

Hi,

I just dicovered the Phoca Maps Plugin and Component
-> to say it short: I LOVE IT

(so simple, small and smart)

one small question:

is it possible to let the maps show up (within an aritcle) in "hybrid" type WITH the type control buttons visible ?

(The default view of the map seems to be always "normal map")

- If I choose in the backend "Type Control:" = "hybrid" the map shows up in "hybrid" but without the type control buttons visible ...

- If I switch back to "Type Control:" = "default map types" the type control buttons are visible again in the map BUT it shows up with "normal map" view only

Is there a possibility to change that behaviour ?

Hi, I didn't find such solution in Google Maps API

if you set some specific map, only one type control is displayed. The 3 type controls are displayed only if the map is set to default

but on this exaple page it works:
--> http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn ... ycode.html
The default view of this map seems to be "hybrid" type and the type control buttons are visible

Code: Select all

it seems that tey are just using

Code: Select all

map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
[..]
map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_MAP);

one after the other (?)
(not shure)

Hi, now it is possible (version 1.0.4), select:

Default Map Types (Hybrid Map) - means, all 3 types will be displayed, the hybrid will be default.

thank you so much,
is it possible to make an upgrade from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 by just overwriting all files (or has something changed in the databases) ?

Post by **Jan** » 24 Jun 2009, 22:30

Just install new version (don't uninstall old version) and you get window with two option: Install x Upgrade, select upgrade and the component will be upgraded. The plugin can be installed standard way. Just install new plugin.

I have the same problem with V 2.04. Only Map and Satellite map control buttons are visible. No matter which map type I set as default???

Hi, this seems, like Google Maps API was changed and some other views are not more possible - I will take a look at it.
