The SP-GeoMap Field

This application is with radius or proximity search!
The SP-GeoMap Field

The SobiPro SP-GeoMap Field extends the types of possible fields for SobiPro with a field type for showing the location of an entry on a geographical map. While editing an entry, it creates coordinates based on the geo-location of the current IP address of the author, or of the entered address. Thereupon the entry will get a map with a marker on its location in the details view.

Besides the normal radius search, the field gives you also the possibility to do a proximity search to find entries within the proximity to a given location. The proximity search is a RADIUS SEARCH without the LIMITATION to a radius. With this improved usability the selection of an entry can be done immediately without changing the radius and perform a re-search if the results don't fit the idea.

Key Features:

  • Geographical map for each entry to show its location on a map
  • Map sizes and zoom level adjustable
  • Google Maps and Leaflet/OpenStreetMap providers available
  • Zoom and scale controls available
  • Satellite, roadmap, hybrid and terrain views for Google Maps available
  • Map Type, Street View, Rotate and Fullscreen controls available for Google Maps
  • Geo location based on a given address while adding an entry
  • Alternatively IP based browser geo location while adding an entry
  • Radius search for entries within distance of a given address or of the current position
  • Proximity search for entries within distance of a given address or of the current position
  • Proximity search has no LIMITATION to a radius; no need to change the radius and perform a re-search if the results don't fit the idea
  • Several providers for geo location in search view available
  • Auto-complete of addresses for geo location in search view available
  • Distances shown in search results either in miles or in kilometres
  • Google API key support
  • SSL support
  • Responsive with gestures on mobile devices

Attention!

As of mid-August 2023, Google has changed its API, and now expects ECMAScript 2020 compatibility. Legacy scripts, like the script for the SP-GeoMap Field and SP-GeoMap Module for SobiPro 1, are not ECMAScript 2020 compliant. Additionally, the Google Maps API script can no longer be loaded multiple times, which happens when different extensions add their own Google Maps API URL and key. SobiPro field and module test whether a script has already been added by SobiPro. But as different API Urls are available (maps.google.com and maps.googleapis.com) this test may fail.

The geomap fields and module for SobiPro 2 are ECMAScript 2020 compatible!
However, changing the script URL to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js or to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places is recommended. Please do not enter a version number here.

What you need to do for SobiPro 1:

  • In the GeoMap Field configuration, set 'Google URL' to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53. If you are using the GeoMap Field with Proximity Search via Google, change the URL to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53&libraries=places.
  • If you are using the GeoMap Field with Proximity Search via Google, change 'Script URL' to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53&libraries=places
  • If you are using also the SP-GeoMap Module, update it to version 2.6.1 which we have released 25 August 2023
  • In the map module's configuration, change the 'Provider API URL' to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53. If you are using the GeoMap Field with Proximity Search via Google, change the URL to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53&libraries=places

With these changes, SobiPro's Google Maps will work until May 2024. By then, you must have updated your SobiPro installation to SobiPro 2 or switch the map to Leaflet.

Remarks:

This is the full version of the SP-GeoMap Field.
It provides an entry with geographic coordinates via the entry form, adds a map to the details view of an entry and provides a proximity or radius search in the search view.

Attention!

As of mid-August 2023, Google has changed its API, and now expects ECMAScript 2020 compatibility. Legacy scripts like this field are not ECMAScript 2020 compliant. Additionally, the Google Maps API script can no longer be loaded multiple times, which happens when different extensions add their own Google Maps API URL and key. SobiPro field and module test whether a script has already been added by SobiPro. But as different API Urls are available (maps.google.com and maps.googleapis.com) this test may fail.

What you need to do:

  • In the GeoMap Field configuration, set 'Google URL' to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53. If you are using the GeoMap Field with Proximity Search via Google, change the URL to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53&libraries=places.
  • If you are using the GeoMap Field with Proximity Search via Google, change 'Script URL' to //maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.53&libraries=places

With these changes, SobiPro's Google Maps panel and module will work until May 2024. By then, you must have updated your SobiPro installation to SobiPro 2 or switch the map to Leaflet.
