TOPIC: Introduce /Text under the map /Category switch off

Hello,

it is first post here so I have first so say "Hello". My name is Holger from south Germany.

I´m new to Hotspots so i started some test on my test site. And now if have some questions because look for some solutions before I will integrate Hotspots on my life site.

Question 1:
I want to have a longer description text under the map. An article. How can I do this. I found no possibility in the Hotspots component. If there would be an plugin that I can put the Hotspots map in the article it would be the best. But I think this plugin does not exist.
mmmmmhhhhh does somebody have an idea?

Questions 2:
I want to show spots in different countrys. Lets say Brazil and Germany. Ok I can creates menue links to "Brazil" and "Germany" and I can say that It stars by showing the spots in Brazil. Fine but in the top I still have the category Icon of "Germany". But nobody in Brazil care about the spots in "Germany". Is it possible to say the menue link, show only spots which belongs "Brazil trekking tours" and "Brazil restaurants"?
Best would be that I can create more maps an the categorys belongs to the map. But I have read here in the forum that it is not possible to create more than one map.
Does anybody have an idea to this.

I have more questions ... but I think it is better to start a new topic ... so it is easier for all in the forum.

Thanks for every push in the right direction to solve my problems

Hey Holger!

Nice to have you here!

Are you talking about the map with all categories or a single view of a hotspot?

Because in the description field - you can write nearly as much text as you want... (few hundred thousand characters...)

If you are talking about the "main map view" - why not create a module and publish it in a position under the map?

About Question 2:
I continue to think that Germany and Brazil are not categories on their own. I would consider them tags or even better - geographic locations.

I understand that in the current hotspots implementation there is no good solution to that problem... I think that the best thing would be to introduce "geolocate center" for the map. When the user opens the page - the browser will ask him - do you want to share your location. If he select yes, then the map will be centered on his home town, or home country...
This way the user will see the spots in his own country first and will have to zoom out and scroll to another country to see the hotspots there...

Kind regards,
Daniel
