New users needs geotagging help
Posted: 29 Apr 2009, 02:18
Hi I'm a new Joomla and Phoca Gallery user. One thing I was really interested in was the Geotagging map option for Phoca Gallery.
My problem is I'm missing a step somewhere and cant get more than one "marker" to appear on my geotag map.
I have 4 seperate folders that I created in Phoca Gallery. Each Folder is a category. In each of these categories I can set a geotag location that will then appear on my map as a marker when I open these categories from the front end.
The problem is I want to make a page with 1 map where all of these markers from each category will appear.
I have read the documentation but I still am missing something. Here is the documentation steps that I have been followings :
After I do this and I go to the Front End ---> Main Menu and Click on the Category List Layout Page I just created and nothing happens...
It does 2 things. Whatever Category I created my new Phoca Category List Layout in thats the only geotag pictures it shows. If I create it in a category that has no geotag location the it shows no pictures.
So does anyone know what step im missing here? How do I get multiple "markers" of different categories on the same map?
-Thanks for any help,
Will

Displaying list of categories within Google Map in Categories View
When you have set a Google GeoTag marker for a category, go to:
Menus » e.g. Main Menu » [New | Edit] button » Phoca Gallery » Phoca Gallery Category List Layout » Parameters Component » Geotagging Settings :
Google Maps API Key - you need to add the key here again (because of frontend view)
Categories - Geotagging Longitude - you can set the coordinates for the map. If not, the coordinates will be taken from the first category.
Categories - Geotagging Latitude - you can set the coordinates for the map. If not, the coordinates will be taken from the first category.
Categories - Geotagging Zoom - you can set the zoom for the map. If not, the coordinates will be taken from the first category.
Categories - Geotagging Width - you can set the width of the map.
Categories - Geotagging Height - you can set the height of the map.
