TOPIC: Show all categories/icons on the map by default

Is there a way to configure hotspots to show all categories on the map by default? Right now you either have to click the icon of the category to show its locations on the map, or click the slide out menu from the right and hit the checkbox to show all categories. Is there a way to enable this by default so when people come to the map it automatically shows them all?

Thanks

Here is the link to the map I forgot

dev.rootpikewin.org/index.php?option=com...otspots&Itemid=97#!1

That feature is coming in future releases. We will be able to configure hotspots to show all categories on the map by default.

ok thank you

Yes. Defaulting to show all categories by default would be a VERY welcome feature. I am making a tourism site for a city and they want a master map that visitors will see with everything shown and then can go through the categories. Or, perhaps, a way to show groups of categories? Say.. 1, 2, 4-6, 9, etc?

When visiting your site it seems as though you have figured out how to do this. Would you mind sharing your solution?

I'm curious to about this. Anyone knows how to do this?

I contacted the original creator of this thread and yes.. his programmer came up with a solution. He replied to me this weekend and said he'd try to get his programmer to post a follow up to this thread on how to achieve this goal.

Me too.

Hi guys,

Talked to our programmer and here is what he gave me:

views/hotspots/tmpl/default_menu.php

add in beginning:
<script type="text/javascript" src=" ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js "></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
jQuery.noConflict();

jQuery(function($) {
$("#toggle-menu").click();
$("#all-hotspots").click();
});
//]]>
</script>

Thanks Alex!

Works great, but it is possible to leave the slide panel closed?

When is this going to be in a released version of Hotspots, i dont want to hack the code if at all avoidable !

THANKS

Hey Leanne,
Hack it for now... It won't work as the guy did, but anyway. And loading jquery just to fire a simple click event.... :/

i'm very interested to this function to ! especially choose thedefaut category :

- all or 1-5-8 ...

I know it's a hack, but this really saved me. I look forward to this being an option in a future release. Thanks guys!

Hi everybody!
Thanks Alex for your advice. I would like to display only the list of hotspots that are part of the class that I set as default in the menu. Basically I need to simulate the event click on a category.
Can you help me?
Thanks and excuse me for my poor english!
Vincenzo

What do you mean with a class? In the menu you can select which category you want to show first. Is this what you want?
Daniel

Yes, I write the first category that I want, and it's ok, but I would like to see the details list of the hotspots in the right panel. I want to simulate the click on icon category.
I hope you understand what I mean!
Thanks

Well this is the code:
try to put in media/com_hotspots/js/views/hotspots/init.js

just before the closing }); line

Cheers,
Daniel

P.S. 3 - is the number of the category - replace it with the category that should show in the menu.
