Hello,
I was curious if there is a way to show the Hotspots map as a module, or is the module only "Latest Hotspots"?
-Thanks

The only way to show the map in a module is through iframe as explained over here:
compojoom.com/forum/138-tricks/18061-iframe
And also think about that - how usable is a small map on a website? The primary goal of hotspots is to serve as a directory. I would not want to browse a map in 200x200px square...

Regards,
Daniel

Hello,
Well, I ended up using the "components anywhere" plugin, and it seems to be working fine.
About the module usability, well, I'm not sure why you would assume a module position is small, this one happens to be 1140x700 on a single page scrolling site, I would not call that small by any measure. Single page scrolling sites have been popular for years, and I think you would be loosing many potential customers by not making the component more flexible with a module view, just a suggestion. Anyhow, it seems to be working.
-Thanks

I guess that I should do a plugin that does the same as the "components anywhere" plugin and everybody will be happy :)
