Hi!
I would like to know if there is a way to change the height of the map for mobile devices?
As mobile devices display the map above what is normally the side panel, is there a setting somewhere to make the map a little bigger on mobile devices?
The map height setting in the config doesn't seem to change anything on the mobile version.
Thanks!

I just need to tweak the height as my map relies more on seeing the markers and less on the menu. Thanks Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

It's either 200px or 150px depending on the device. You can change the values in that file and then the map should be bigger. Regards, Daniel Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I can't get this to work on my iPhone.
I have changed this file and to:

/**
 * Created by DanielDimitrov on 25.03.14.
 */
HotspotsManager.module("MapApp.Show", function (Show, HotspotsManager, Backbone, Marionette, $, _) {
 
	Show.MapView = HotspotsManager.Common.MapApp.MapView;
 
	Show.Map = HotspotsManager.Common.MapApp.Map.extend({
		resize: function() {
			var height = 500;
			if($(document.body).hasClass('hs-small-device')) {
				this.$el.css('width', '100%');
				if ($(window).height() < 480) {
					height = 450;
				}
				this.mapView.$el.css('height', height);
			} else {
				this.$el.css('width', '100%').css('width', '-='+this.widthRestriction+'px');
				this.mapView.$el.css('height', HotspotsManager.mainRegion.$el.height());
			}
			google.maps.event.trigger(this.mapObj, 'resize');
		}
	});
 
	var map;
	HotspotsManager.reqres.setHandler("map:object", function(){
		return (function(){
			if(!map){
				var model = HotspotsManager.request('map:entity');
				map = new Show.Map({model: model});
			}
			return map;
		}());
	});
});

But on my iPhone it is still very small.
I have deleted cache in joomla and on my iPhone.

Okay, Jan you are right.

You need to modify the media\com_hotspots\js\v4\apps\menu\show\show_view.js file as well.

When we have the .hs-small-device class apended to the body, the menu has a css top value applied which is equal to the height of the map. In the resize function just change

resize: function() {
			if($(document.body).hasClass('hs-small-device')) {
				var height = 200;
				if ($(window).height() < 480) {
					height = 150;
				}
				this.$el.css('height', HotspotsManager.mainRegion.$el.height()-height);
				HotspotsManager.menuRegion.$el.css('top', height);
			} else {
				this.$el.css('height', HotspotsManager.mainRegion.$el.height());
				HotspotsManager.menuRegion.$el.css('top', 0);
			}
 
			HotspotsManager.trigger('menu:resized', this);
		},

150 in the above code to whatever you need and then it should be correct.

Daniel,
Thanks for this reply !
I have reviewed the forum entries regarding the map height on mobile devices (iphone, android phone) several times, and just cannot get the results that I want.
I have modified the file:
media/com_hotspots/js/v4/apps/map/show/show_view.js
so that the value "150" has been changed to "550"

and I have modified the file
media/com_hotspots/js/v4/apps/menu/show/show_view.js
so that the value "150" has been changed to "550"

and flushed the cache on browser and on server (joomla)

The map on my android phone is still tiny, very tiny.
I cannot show the new map to my client on mobile, he won't like it.

The map is beautiful on desktop, and I have almost figured out how to make Hotspots do everything that we need from a map.
Here it is, I'll be submitting it to you for promotional display when it goes live:
portstoplains.com/index.php/new-map

Please let me know how to increase the height of the map on smart phones ?
I have attached a photograph of the smart phone display (samsung galaxy 5)
Thank you!
Kent

Hey Kent,
I don't know about your android device, but the changes are working. Maybe not the way you expect them to, but they work

The line that you've modified in both files looked like this:

if ($(window).height() < 480) {
					height = 550;
				}

$(window).height() - this is the height of the browser window. So, if the browser window height is smaller than 480px -> make the height of the map 550px. This works. Just make the browser window smaller.
It's most probably not working on your android phone, because it has a height of more than 480px

Also it doesn't really make sense if you have a height of 480px to have a map that is 550px in height. Then the user won't see the whole map all the time.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi
I'd just like to add something to this discussion, as I just spent a bit of time getting my mobile display back to a reasonable size after upgrading Hotspots to the latest version.
It seems that you do have to change the line;

var height=200;

as well as the other values. It wasn't until I altered this line upwards that anything happened. Just though I'd add this.
Thanks
PS, would still be great to have this coded into the component somewhere, Daniel, as mobile use is pretty critical, and it seems a shame to have this small problem on such a great map extension....

Daniel,
I have tried modifying all three values, and cannot get the proper results.
I'm afraid that I do not understand the variables here, or the logic involved.
Please help me to adjust this map so that it is a readable/useable height on mobile devices.
I also think that these parameters need to be available in the backend options, rather than making us tinker with the code and then have to re-tinker after each update.
ALSO - this link: mydevice.io/devices/
for sizes of various devices in px

ALSO - can the changes to these show_view.js files be accomplished with an override ?
If so, what would be the correct directories to create and use for the overrides ?

Thank you
Kent

I have fiddled with these values (total trial and error, still makes no sense to me) and have arrived at an acceptable appearance on mobile as well as desktop.

For the file named :
media/com_hotspots/js/v4/apps/map/show/show_view.js
---
...
Show.Map = HotspotsManager.Common.MapApp.Map.extend({
resize: function() {
var height = 550;
if($(document.body).hasClass('hs-small-device')) {
this.$el.css('width', '100%');
if ($(window).height() < 641) {
height = 300;
...
---

For the file named :
media/com_hotspots/js/v4/apps/menu/show/show_view.js
---
...
resize: function() {
if($(document.body).hasClass('hs-small-device')) {
var height = 550;
if ($(window).height() < 641) {
height = 300;
...
---

I have saved these files within their respective directories with the files extension .WORKS, so that after updates I can go back and make the same changes again.

It would be VERY useful to know if this can be accomplished with OVERRIDES, and if so, what the exact folder and file name should be used to accomplish the override.

Thanks again for all of your help.
Regards,
Kent
