---|
| 9 | 1. Due to qPloneGoogleMaps you can set up the latitude and longitude |
---|
| 10 | of your site objects and have their maps exhibited on your site. |
---|
| 11 | 2. Any object with the latitude-longitude has an additional map |
---|
| 12 | portlet displaying this object. This portlet, in turn, has a |
---|
| 13 | template "Large screen". If you click on the large screen below |
---|
| 14 | the portlet, you will be able to see the full-size map of the |
---|
| 15 | page with its description. |
---|
| 16 | 3. The folders containing objects with the latitude-longitude |
---|
| 17 | parameters have an additional display view - "maps view", |
---|
| 18 | which gives an opportunity to see the full-size map with all |
---|
| 19 | these objects. |
---|
| 20 | 4. There is a new content type "Map" which can have other content |
---|
| 21 | types - "overlays". It enables the positioning of different |
---|
| 22 | objects on one map showing them with the markers of different |
---|
| 23 | colours. |

| 31 | How To Use qPloneGoogleMaps |
---|
| 32 | |
---|
| 33 | Use Case 1 |
---|
| 34 | |
---|
| 35 | Let's assume you need to show two objects (Plone pages) situated in |
---|
| 36 | one folder on one map. |
---|
| 37 | |
---|
| 38 | * Suppose you have a folder "School" |
---|
| 39 | * Create two pages for this folder ("School 1", "School 2") |
---|
| 40 | * Go to the page "School 1" and click on the tab "geolocation" |
---|
| 41 | * You will see a page with the latitude, longitude,zoom, type |
---|
| 42 | fields and an empty Google map. Fill in the fields which determine |
---|
| 43 | map displaying properties and then click on map for choosing |
---|
| 44 | marker position and then click the "Save" button |
---|
| 45 | * Do the same steps for the page "School 2" |
---|
| 46 | * Go to the folder "School" |
---|
| 47 | * Choose "maps view" from the "display" drop-down menu. You will |
---|
| 48 | see the map with both of these objects ("School 1", "School 2") |
---|
| 49 | marked with the markers. If you click on one of these markers |
---|
| 50 | you will see its name and description appear beside it (after |
---|
| 51 | the click on this name you will be taken to the page the marker |
---|
| 52 | displays) |
---|
| 53 | |
---|
| 54 | Use Case 2 |
---|
| 55 | |
---|
| 56 | Let's assume, you need to show many objects situated in different |
---|
| 57 | folders on one map. |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
| 59 | * Suppose, you have a folder "Nigeria". |
---|
| 60 | * Go to this folder and add "map" item from the "add item" drop-down |
---|
| 61 | menu. |
---|
| 62 | * If you go to the "map" you've created, you will notice that it |
---|
| 63 | can have an additional content type "overlay": |
---|
| 64 | * Choose "overlay" from "add item" drop-down menu |
---|
| 65 | * Enter Short Name and title of a new overlay |
---|
| 66 | * Click "browse" button for the "Markers Source" pop-up window to appear |
---|
| 67 | * Now choose the folder containing the object with the latitude- |
---|
| 68 | longitude parameters you want your marker to be tied to and click |
---|
| 69 | "insert" |
---|
| 70 | * Return to the "Edit Overlay" page to select the marker's color |
---|
| 71 | which will be shown on the map |
---|
| 72 | * Click the "Save" button |
---|
| 73 | * Complete the same steps for creating overlays for other objects of |
