Show Joomla articles as markers on Yandex.Maps. Coordinates can be specified in custom fields (text type or Fields - WT Yandex map) separated by commas.
Features of the Yandex.Maps module for Joomla
- Starting from module version 2.0.0, the Yandex.Maps API v 3.0 is used. Version 1.0.0 uses the outdated Yandex.Maps API v.2.1.
- The ability to display placemarks on the map from data sources (so far, there is only one source - Joomla articles)
- The ability to customize (create custom) layouts for layout placemarks and pop-up window contents.
- The ability to override placemark layouts and pop-up window contents Yandex.Maps in the folder with the Joomla template.
- Specifying custom layouts in Joomla custom fields
- Specifying a custom layout for the entire category at once in the custom category field (recommended field types are text or list fields (list, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.)). It works for both the layout of the map placemark and the layout of the popup window content (tooltips).
- Specifying a custom layout for a specific article in the custom field. The article parameters take precedence over the category parameters. This way, you can select a separate article on the map with a separate placemark layout, as well as a separate layout for the contents of the popup window. It works for both the layout of the map marker and the layout of the popup window content (tooltips).
- Using Javascript literals when creating layouts. Layouts of markers and pop-ups are loaded into the page body as
Templating markers and pop-up window contents
You can use the standard Yandex.Maps API 3.0. layouts for both
map placemarks and pop-up windows. But you can also create your own
output layouts for each category of articles and for each Joomla
article.
The parameters of the Joomla article take precedence over the
parameters of the parent category. The paths to the layouts are
specified relative to the layouts folder and contain the dot
character . instead of the
slash /.
For
example, modules.mod_wtyandexmapitems.marker.city-marker.
This approach allows you to use the Joomla redefinition mechanism
and redefine layouts in your own template along the
templates/path.[YOUR_TEMPLATE]/html/layouts/mod_wtyandexmapitems/marker/city-marker.php.
To specify the marker template and/or the contents of the popup
window, use a text field or a list field.
