SP-GeoMap Module
The SP-GeoMap Module for SobiPro allows to show entries of a SobiPro directory (section) on a geographical map in a Joomla module position. A customizable info window using a XSLT template within the module can be used to show data of the specific entry.
The module comes with several features such as:
- Entries close to each other (depending on the zoom level) can be clustered.
- Initial zoom level and start point coordinates can be set.
- The map can be automatically centred to all shown markers.
- Entries with same coordinates are grouped to one info window.
- The info window can be shown on click or hover.
- The content of the info window can be styled via XSL template and CSS.
- Roadmap, satellite, terrain, hybrid views are available (Google map only).
- Several map controls can be used on the map.
- A custom marker can be used.
- Entry specific custom marker can be used (at the moment for Google map only).
- Category dependent custom marker can be used (at the moment for Google map only).
- Only entries of the currently visited category page can be shown on the map.
- Only entries of a specific category can be shown on the map.
- Several map modules can be used to show different content.
- The search results on SobiPro's search page are shown on the map.
- The map and entries will be loaded first after the site has been loaded for performance.
- The module works with SSL.
- The module works on responsive/mobile sites.
- An API key can be added for Google maps.
Note: Google Maps and OpenStreetMap + Leaflet are supported.

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.

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.

0.5 - first release (23 December 2011)
SobiPro 2 and its applications are a major upgrade. If you upgrade the application, it is highly recommended to use the new template file(s) for SobiPro and the applications, as the old template file(s) do not necessarily work with SobiPro 2 and the new application.
Copy them to your template by re-selecting the section in the module configuration. If you have modified the template file(s), you need to backup them first and add your modifications to the new template file(s).
The module needs the SP-GeoMap Field or the BASIC SP-GeoMap Field installed and used for the entries which should be shown on the map!
