TOPIC: Some questions

First of all excellent component, thank you for making my life a lot easier.

I’m designing a site where each article will have a single hotspot in it. I’m using K2 and every article has a K2 extra field that inside has a hotspot location {hotspots hotspot=xxx} .

Due to design reasons I actually call all the extrafields twice in each article. When I do that only the first call of the 2 plugins works.

Besides that the actual size of the map is again due to design reasons quite small. So I went to the Content – HOTSPOTS plugin and inputted the dimensions I want which are height 175 and width 168. This created a problem as the menu opens up by default and takes up all the space. Also because of the small dimensions you can’t close the menu since its outside of the <div>. I’ve managed to bypass this by hiding the sliding menu when its inside extrafields through css like so:but it would be nice to have options for things like that in the plugin.

Another problem I have is that because the map is so small in article view it’s not very usable. It would be nice to have a button for full screen viewing like we have in category view. I can bypass this by linking the whole map to a new page with a single hotspot (index.php?option=com_hotspots&view=hotspot&id=xxx) which works really good but in the new page there is no email option.

Also the email doesn’t seem to work at all in my case. When I click it I get a window with title Email this map to a friend and below that “The requested file could not be found.” Caused by plugin GK Open Graph Article Parameters. Fixed by disabling said plugin

Finally I would be nice to have an option to email the directions to someone.

That’s all and sorry for the long post

Hey Vassilis,
Thanks for the feedback. I'll take this into consideration when I update the plugin.

Daniel
