I would contribute adding the Google function to calculate the PATH between 2 addresses

Contact me if you want

You are, however, welcome to contribute to the plugin by adding polylines and polygons classes

sfEasyGMapPlugin indeed generates javascript using PHP directly in the class, which is not a very clean practice. I actually think about using some templating architecture to improve the quality of the plugin and dissociate as much as possible javascript and PHP. In the meantime, javascript is generated only through functions which names end with “JS”, getMarkersJS, getMapJS etc. and no javascript should be included in any generic php functions, especially a simple getter

public function getCenterLat()
{
if ($this->getCenterCoord()->getLatitude())
{
return $this->getCenterCoord()->getLatitude();
}
else
{
return ‘google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude’;
}
}
/**

public function getCenterLng()
{
if ($this->getCenterCoord()->getLongitude())
{
return $this->getCenterCoord()->getLongitude();
}
else
{
return ‘google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude’;
}
}

So if lat & long are set to null it tries to center based on IP geolocation.

Thanks for the $sf_data->getRaw() tip. I ran into another issue – if you put the map inside a partial, then it seems you have to do the getRaw twice, once in the template, and then inside the partial. I’m not sure why this is the case exactly, but it seems to work.

I’m trying to refresh my GMap after AJAX submit button, actually I update two :
- a list on the left
- map on the right

I’d like my map & markers to be refreshed by informations contained in the list.
The first div is updated and the GMap disappear ..

You can load markers wherever you want. Usually the best though in a complicated application is to load through Ajax only those in the visible boundary.

I think the forum is a good idea so I will try to open one soon !
