Google Maps New feature: Google Maps plugin

With JDom (v2.6.18), You can now easily instance a Google Map, and even a dynamic map in your components.
For the moment, you have to code manually, but the code is deadly simple.


“ It has never been so easy
to
instance a Google Map




You can create many types of maps :

  • Basic maps + all possible parameters
  • Styled Maps
  • Markers + automatic bounds fit
  • Info boxes
  • Custom the markers icons
  • Geocoding (Map + Markers)
  • Directions API
  • Static Maps (Simples images)


Check the demo and learn to instance a map:

FIX for Images : Changed the thumb prefix ( . > _ )
It was not so practical to use hidden files (point prefix) for the thumbs, so we decided to change for an underscore prefix.
Some server configuration do not allow to access to hidden files (and that's the best configuration to have)
You can now delete all the hidden files thumbs from your images folders. They will not be used anymore.
All thumbs will be created again automatically.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
