Hi Evan,
Take a look in
http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/extensions-2.1.0/map/scripts/map-view.js
Near the end, find
Exhibit.MapView.prototype._select = function(selection) {
var itemID = selection.itemIDs[0];
var marker = this._itemIDToMarker[itemID];
if (marker) {
marker.openInfoWindow(this._createInfoWindow([ itemID ]));
}
};
You can override that function (by just adding your own Javascript code
after including exhibit-api.js) to implement the zooming behavior.
Insert something like this inside the if statement
this._map.setCenter(marker.getLatLng(), 10);
