Hi all,

I notice the default for the google map plugin is the satellite view.

Is there a way to change this to a default of Map view ?

Thanks,
Brad

Hello,

You cannot change the default satellite view. However this option is on our TO DO list.

Regards!

Thanks Bogdan.

Sorry to annoy re this issue, but I'm in a corporate network that has IE6 and a nasty lockdown that means satellite view simply fails ("no zoom level available for region" on any satellite map), but a standard map view works fine.

Basically, without a standard map view, I can't use this component. But I really want to

Do you have any timeframe in mind for addressing this item ?

Hello ,

This option will be added in RSEvents! but i cannot give you an exact time on when this would happen . Hoverer i can help you by telling you which code to change in order to get this right.

Conforming to Google.com these are the types of maps :

* G_NORMAL_MAP - Map
* G_SATELLITE_MAP - Satellite
* G_HYBRID_MAP - Hybrid

All you have to do is edit /components/com_rsevents/models/events.php and search for line 401. All you have to do is replace {mapTypes:[G_HYBRID_MAP]} to what kind of map you want.


Regards!

Hi Bogdan, and apologies for the delay in my reply.

I had to also change locations.php in the same path, but your tip pointed me in the right direction.

All good - works a charm. Thanks !
