Hi there,
I'm looking for a joomla mapping extension in order to geolocate K2 articles and I found hotspots which looks quite interesting.
However I have some questions that I hope you can answer:
- 1) I'd like to know how your software integrates with K2. Do I need to create K2 extra fields to keep the geolocation info for each K2 article? Does the K2 plugin create those extra fields? How many and what for? (I.e: address? Coordinates?). If the address is stored in a single extra field, is there a specific formatting requirement for the address? Or do I need separate extra fields for country, city, street, number, etc ?
- 2) Once I know how to store the geolation info in the K2 article I will require to do a bulk upload of K2 articles directly into the MySQL database. Does this represent a problem in integrating K2 and your software?
-3) There will also be front end submission of K2 articles. How does your software requests the geolocation info? Can I modify the layout by doing a K2 template override for itemform.php (K2 file)?
-4) The info that gets pulled from K2 and that is showed for each location, cab I use info from the K2 extra fields? I'm interested in showing from the K2 item, the title, intro text, the picture and some extra fields for each location. Is this possible? Both in the side bar and in the info that pops up when you click the location marker? Is it possible to do template override to modify the layout for how the info is presented for the locations in the sidebar?
-5) is your extension responsive?
Many thanks!
