Hello,
I bought hotspots because I was convinced that I could link hotspots to external sites (no sobi2, no articles, no detail page).
But I noticed that the component does not allow this option.
Because for me it's important to have this option kindly ask if someone can help me step by step to modify the code to make this option until the next release of the.

I've seen a topic about it but I would like, if possible, get some help step by step to change the code.
thanks
Luke

Once selected you will enter an url and the read more button in frontend will send the user to this url??? Daniel Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Hi Daniel,
No, I wish that when I click on the icon directly on the map I can go directly to the external link, no pop-ups get to where there is a "read more". I do not know if I can make myself understood ...

I wish that clicking the icon on the map I can go directly to the external link with no additional pages or popups!

In any case (in extreme cases) could perhaps also be good to put the external link button "read more" if you are not able to find an alternative to my specific request!
Ideally, however, a direct link icon without having to get to the button "read more"!

Hey Luca,
Why do you want to make the marker click go to another page? What is the problem of showing the infowindow with a small description and then if the user wants to know more, he will click on read more???

I'm asking because the desired behavior requires a lot of code changes and I don't want to waste my time figuring out how to do this if you don't really need it.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hello Daniel, thanks for your intervention.
To me it is good that I open the popup when I click on the icon of the map, but I need the "read more" button on the popup points to external links for each icon on the map.
I need each icon on the map points to an external link, via the read more button that appears in the popup!

How do I get this?

Hey Luca,
I'm sorry for the slow response, but please note that those modifications are not part of your support subscription and I'm taking my own free time to help you.

So, here is what we are gong to do!
In the backend when you create a new hotspot go to the dropdown "link to" and select sobi2 and enter your url in the detail description. For example:
compojoom.com

Now! Find the file components/com_hotspots/views/json/view.raw.php

On line 85 you have this code:

if ($hotspot->autor == "sobi2") {
			$hotspotsLink = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=" . $hotspot->description, false);

change it to:

if ($hotspot->autor == "sobi2") {
    $hotspotsLink = $hotspot->description;

Now in the frontend when you click on a hotspot and then on readmore -> you should go to the url that you've entered in the detail page.

Hope that this helps!
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
I wanted to know if is possible receive , To Payment, a code change that I asked here about the opening of the link in a new page. I think it's a very simple thing to achieve.
It's possible to get this charge paid? Since membership in the package does not include changing the code ...
For me it is very urgent and important to this change so they are willing to pay for it.
I look forward to hearing from you. My personal mail is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
If you are interested please contact me.
thanks

Hey Luca,
You don't need to hire me to do this for you

You can just write a review how good hotspots is and spread the word

extensions.joomla.org/extensions/maps-a-...-locations/maps/9468

So, adding a traget="_blank" is easy. Go to media/com_hotspots/js/Hotspots.js
line 430:

		if(this.options.readMore.toInt()) {
			readmore = new Element('span', {
				'class' : 'link'
			}).adopt(new Element('a', {
				href: hotspot.readmore,
				html: this.locale.readMore
			}));
		}

change it to this:

		if(this.options.readMore.toInt()) {
			readmore = new Element('span', {
				'class' : 'link'
			}).adopt(new Element('a', {
				href: hotspot.readmore,
				html: this.locale.readMore,
                'target' : '_blank'
			}));
		}

Now the link will automatically open in new windows.
Sorry that it took us so much time, but we've been busy with transifex for the last 4 days:
compojoom.com/about/blog/entry/translate...with-opentranslators
Cheers,
Daniel
