TOPIC: Pre-Sales Questions

I like what I have seen and read about your HotSpots extension. I have looked through and searched your forum, but still have a couple questions before I purchase.

I'm looking to create two types of maps to display:

1) Location and contact information for resellers and distributors or products.
2) Locations of events and meetings.

I would like to create both maps on the same site if possible. I read that your extension would allow me to create maps that display different points based on the Joomla category.

Here are my questions:

1) Does the category )or other feature) provide the ability to create multiple maps on the same site with completely unique map points?
2) Can I size the displayed map window for each separate map or is it a global setting?
3) Can I select different map icons for distributor locations versus event locations?
4) Can an email address in the description be coded as a hyperlink?

Thank you for your response!

Hey Ivan,
Sorry for not replying sooner.

I'm not really sure if hotspots is the right component for your needs.

You can for example create 2 categories -> "contacts" & "events & meetings" and submit the locations based on this. (look at the demo site -> we have bars, restaurants)

We don't use the joomla category, but our own categories. You are able to create as many as you want.

1. I would say yes, but have a look at the demo
2. No, the infowindow height is automatically determined by the height of your text by google. (however you should not have a lot of text there)
3. You can have different icons per category & even per hotspot. (but you can only select different icon for the hotspot in the backend)
4. if you display an editor, you can do whatever you want with the email address. We save the description in html (provided you have not set any global filters) and then we just display that html.

Daniel
