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

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:
[code type=css]#itemExtraFields #slide_menu {
display: none;
}[/code]
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.

[strike]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.”[/strike] 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
