Models

Maps

Represents a single map with one provider with overlay objects on it.

Objects

Objects are related to a single map. Each object has one type. At this point of time, only three types are possible:

  • Marker: Represents a single point on the map. The marker position is one LangLat attribute.
  • Circle: It's an approximation and starts to diverge from a real circle closer to poles (due to projection distortion). It's important to set the radius parameter.
  • Polygon: A class for drawing polygon overlays on a map. The position parameter is an array of LangLat coordinates for example [-111.03, 41],[-111.04, 45],[-104.05, 45],[-104.05, 41] For all objects it is possible to attach an popup by leave the popup field not empty.

Component

The Map component has following attributes:

  • Map: The map that will be displayed
  • FieldId: Is the id of the div container in that the leaflet map will be initialized. This is useful to assign additional css rules.
  • Height: The height of the div map container. Height can be in pixel or % value.
  • Latitude / Longitude / Zoom: Defines the initial view of the map, more information can be found here.

    Very very usefull app. I make 2 difference to work this plugin. 1st is change icon-marker path with add "." before url path in \plugins\timfoerster\leaflet\components\map\default.htm

    var defaultIcon = L.icon({ iconUrl: './plugins/timfoerster/leaflet/assets/leaflet/images/marker-icon.png', iconRetinaUrl: './plugins/timfoerster/leaflet/assets/leaflet/images/marker-icon-2x.png', shadowUrl: './plugins/timfoerster/leaflet/assets/leaflet/images/marker-shadow.png',

    second I had an error because of a relation not exeed. I add "else" in "if" part in core list.htm /**

    • Process a custom list types registered by plugins. */ protected function evalCustomListType($type, $record, $column, $value) { $plugins = PluginManager::instance()->getRegistrationMethodValues('registerListColumnTypes');

      foreach ($plugins as $availableTypes) {
          if (!isset($availableTypes[$type])) {
              continue;
          }
      
          $callback = $availableTypes[$type];
      
          if (is_callable($callback)) {
              return call_user_func_array($callback, [$value, $column, $record]);
          }
      }
      
      $customMessage = '';
      if ($type === 'relation') {
          $customMessage = "Type: relation is not supported, instead use the relation property to specify a relationship to pull the value from and set the type to the type of the value expected.";
      }else
      
      throw new ApplicationException(sprintf('List column type "%s" could not be found. %s', $type, $customMessage));

      }

    Hi, can you tell me how can I change this wonderful plugin to display one marker per page displayed?

    I aim to have directory with companies, and want to display a map next to description on a single company listing page.

    Now all the marks are displayed on one map, and making loads of maps is pointless i think.

    Many thanks!

    Hello Gibon,

    I added for you the functionality to display only a single object on a map in the component. I hope it fits your needs.

    Cheers, Tim

    Thank you this is great! I have one question, the marker image is not loaded, the path to the marker icon is incorrect. it is: example.com/marker-icon.png can you change the path to the plugin assets map?

    Kind regards,

    Hessel
