Plugin (Mambot) for displaying one or more Google Maps within content-items, modules or components of Joomla 1.0.x or 1.5.x (native) or 1.6.x.

New alpha version 2.13a of plugin Googlemaps is released. The Googlemaps plugin is now supporting Joomla 1.6 too besides Joomla 1.5.
A big change is that hacking of Joomla is not necessary anymore to make the plugin Googlemaps work with components, modules and contacts.
Because of this change in Joomla 1.5 you need to install first the new version before deinstall the old plugin. The new plugin gets the parameters of old plugin even when disabled. The plugin has to run once. This is done even in the administrator part of when looking for the configuration of the new plugin.

In Joomla 1.6 the plugin can be upgraded automatically with the upgrade feature of Joomla at the extensions.

Also added language support for all the parameters. Please send me language files so I can add them to the plugin.

The version for Joomla 1.0 will not evolve after version 2.12o. So 2.12o will be the last version for Joomla 1.0. Of course support for Joomla 1.0 is still possible.

Stable version 2.12o is available and added: multiple kml files, Simple directions on map, directions in lightbox and possibility to use print version of directions, streetview with button!, 3D and automatic control, lightbox out of infowindow, navigation label, Wiki & You tube layer & other, Yahoo pipes support, directions animation, tabbed infowindow, Earth control lookat & camera, ArcGis layer, Bird view, Google Indexing, Google Earth layers, labels on markers and dynamic content in Geoxml, switch off Earth and terrain maptype, to show kml sidebar in lightbox, custom tiles, show descriptions of markers outside the map, correction zoom for automatic zoom for kml-files and form with from and to address for route.

Look at the demo site first for documentation. If you've problems please do the checklist on the demosite. If this doesn't help or you have questions or new wishes please send me an email with url that shows the problem and version of the plugin.

You can change one of the parameters:

width, height You must put the units behind the number like 100% or 400px to whatever you want although if its too small, you won't see very much.

text is for the marker, that will show on the map with a balloon. If you don't want to see the text, just set text=" and it will not display, the text is the data displayed above the location pin. Usually it would be used to display an address or hyperlink. A hyperlink is possible use the format: linkName. Don't use (double) quotes!
