Topic: Google Map shows only as Link in Detailed View but not inline

[tsvgoegg]

As a newbie I am just started with Sobi 2. Within my Detailed View the GoogleMap is only shown as a link. What do I have to change to get the GoogleMap inline within the Detailed View?! I tried several of your templates, e.g. sobi_template1.zip.

Thank you, Gerd

Thanks for the answer. I did the configuration right.
But I missed that I have to fill the langitude and longitude fields manually within each entry (somehow I assumed that the geo-coding data are retrieved automatically).
Is there any reason the Sobi component does not include such a 3rd-party functionality or is someone already working on this part?

See you Gerd

Hi tsvgoegg,

Yes, there is a reason: lack of time

Please read the description carefully.

I only can repeat the description.

if you have the two new fields, the user has to enter the  latitude and longitude in the add/edit entry form.
And you have to get the api key from google and setup up the Google Maps configuration in the backend of SOBI correctly.

Please do not post the same topic in different posts and don't write the same via PM.
