hi everyone,
once again I need your help. I am trying to include google maps. it
works fine as long as I show one map in a view. now i retrieve several
objects from my database and I need to show a google map for each
object. this is how its supposed to work:
a user clicks on a map icon on view history.ctp, depending what object
location he wants to see (this view shows a bunch of objects). then an
element, that shows the map, toggles in a div.
all this is triggeredby clicking the map icon. i used this JS-
function, that is called when clicking the icon:
function showObjectGoogleMap(input, input_latitude, input_longitude)
{
var googleMapDiv = '#googleMapDiv_';
$(googleMapDiv + input).load('/mah/users/map', {'latitude':
input_latitude, 'longitude' : input_longitude}, function() {
$(googleMapDiv + input).slideToggle('slow', function()
{ });
});
}
<?php
foreach($user['History'] as $all):
..load data for each object
echo '<div id="googleMapDiv_'.$all['id'].'" style="width:400px;height:
400px;border: 1px solid blue;display:none;">
endforeach;
?>
AS you can see i pass the longitude and lat to my controller:
function map()
{
//debug('in map...');
$latitude = $_POST['latitude'];
$longitude = $_POST['longitude'];
$default =
array('type'=>'0','zoom'=>13,'lat'=>$latitude,'long'=>
$longitude);
$points = array();
$points[0]['Point'] = array('longitude' =>
$default['long'],'latitude' =>$default['lat']);
$this->set('points', $points);
$this->set('default', $default);
$this->render('../elements/users/map', 'ajax');
}
SO I take the data passed from my view and set it for the element:
views/elements/map.ctp
<?php
$key = $this->GoogleMap->key;
echo $javascript->link($this->GoogleMap->url);
echo "test";
echo $this->GoogleMap->map($default,'width: 600px; height:
400px');
echo $this->GoogleMap->addMarkers($points);
echo $this->GoogleMap-
>moveMarkerOnClick('StructureLongitudine','StructureLatitudine');
?>
what happnens is:
- the element is called correctly ("test" is echoed)
- longitude and latidude are passed correctly to my controller (i
checked)
so I'm guessing the problem here is, that i am going through a loop???
or maybe because i am using an element to show the map and not in a
reguilar view as before??
as always i appreciate your help :)
