Adding Location Map through Layout & Objects Tab

[kriskrosinteractive]

HI Steve,

I am not sure if I am using the MuraLocations plugin correctly or not but I was wondering should it be ok to include the MuraLocations plugin in a page through the Layout & Objects Tab?

When I do add the plugin this way, none of the MuraLocationsMap Options are being used, the default values are always used.

I added the plugin this way, went to the Layout & Objects Tab, selected "Plugins" from the Content Objects drop down menu, those selected "MuraLocations". Finally I selected "Locations Map" and clicked it across to the main content. The maps appears and has all the pins it should have but it always uses the default values in this case no matter what I change in the MuraLocationsMap Options.

I know I could use a line of code like this to override the default values:

[mura]$.muraLocations.dspLocationsMap(displayTravelMode=false, mapType='ROADMAP',displayDirections=false,mapHeight=200)[/mura]

but from a client point of view it would be far better for them to include the plugin from the Layout & Objects Tab as they are familiar and comfortable using this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Chris

@kriskrosinteractive, sorry for the delay in responding. However, it sounds like you're doing a couple of things together and the code is getting stepped on. You need to choose one option or the other, not both.

Option 1: Add Folder/MuraLocationsMap
If you add a content item of type MuraLocationsMap then you shouldn't go to the Layout & Objects tab at all. The map will just appear based on the settings provided.

Option 2: Display Object
Currently, the display object is not configurable from the User Interface, however I'll flag this ticket as a feature request and will keep it in mind when I have time.

Hope that makes sense,
Steve
