TOPIC: Search hotspots

Hi every body,

I want to add a search for Hotspots in the place of standard adress search of the map.
How can i do that ?

Regards

You'll need some coding knowledge for this.
Perhaps you could add a module position on thevpage and use the standard joomla search module?

i want to display the result in the map (same page)

I've already created a map with google map api , but the search function uses an xml file to look for result
i don't know how to adapt it to use hotspots database

Thanks for your reply

Hey Rachid,
So are you a developer or just a user? If you a developer I would give you few hints on what to read and in which files you could add such function, but if you a just an user then I would say - wait till we add this functionality.
Daniel

I'm bitween developper and user
So you can give me your hints, and with your help i'm sure i will figure it out
thanks

Im also interested on this topic.
It would be great if you could give us some hints.

Hey guys,
Well I hope that you are prepared to go deep into the rabbit hole
I guess that the best place to start would be with this tutorial:
docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-...r_Component_-_Part_1

Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 1

Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 2 - Adding a Model

Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 3 - Using the Database

Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 4 - Creating an Administrator Interface

Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 5 - Basic Backend Framework

Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 6 - Adding Backend Actions

I think that you should read everything from part 1 till 3 - and of course do what is explained in the tutorial.

I think that once you read the tutorials you will get an idea where to place the search box and how to make the request to the database so that it returns the hotspots data.

If it is too complicated, then please be patient

Hi Daniel,
is this "few hints" ?
this is what i want : www.tahagames.com/map/
the search on the left

Thanks

Any news there ?

@Rachid - did you go over the tutorials?

I don't have time to read all that, so forget aout it

- now i want to automatically center map on markers when we click in each category
- Display all entries on Newest locations section
- Disable dropdown when click in Newest locations
Thanks in advance

Have a nice day

Help please !

- go to the menu settings for hotspot (your joomla backend -> menu system -> your menu -> hotspot item)
Map start position -> select by category bounds

- compojoom.com/forum/27-hotspots/52-newbi...657-newest-locations

- what dropdown do you want to disable?

Thanks for reply

The footer slide menu (where newest location)
i don't want the slide effect just display all entries of categories

open media/com_hotspots/js/hotspots.js
find this code:either comment it out or delete it.

After that find the function hsload and at the end of it add this line:This should be all. Perhaps it is also a good idea to use template overrides and remove the link for newest locations in...

Daniel

Great, thank you,
Can i highlight marker when i click on newset location ?
Can i display info-window when i click on newset location ?
Have a nice day

When you click on one of the markers, then an infowindow for this marker opens up. This is the default behavior.
Daniel

Sure, but i want the infowindow for this marker to opens up when i click on newest location link

Hi,
We either talk about different things or I'm unable to understand you.

When you click a link from the list with the newest locations the infowindow for this marker is opening up on the map. I don't understand your question?

When i click a link from the list with the newest locations the infowindow for this marker doesn't open (the map is centred on marker) i must click the marker to see the infowindow .
i'm using Div Overlay

Thanks
