Question Google Maps in Forum?

Hey sorry I am sure the are lots of noobs asking questions, but I was wondering if there is a plugin that can allow registered users to add locations on a map (google maps)

1 - Is it possible
2 - Where can I get it
3 - I hope I don't have to program it :blink:

Thanks guys/gals !

Stokesy,

Have you tried the JED?
extensions.joomla.org/

There are no such extensions for the Kunena forum though.

Perfect I found it and figure I would post it, there are some issures with IE6-7 so you need to go into yoururl/libraries/joomla/html/html/behavior.php and change line 108 to read this
$tooltipInit = ' window.addEvent(\'load\', function(){ var JTooltips = new Tips($$(\''.$selector.'\'), '.$options.'); });';

I guess its a known issue, if you don't it will not allow users to add markers to the map and I hear a few other things don't work as well. The link bellow is for the plugin and it works very well. Hope I am saving someone time because this took hours out of my Easter weekend. But this will not work in the forum but your users can still post markers on your site.

I think there is a CB plugin for that as well.

Hi, please could anyone link a tested components for insert Google Maps inside Kunena Posts?

So we could avoid to download and test many components...

Thanks.

Sorry I was not clear, I didn't find one that worked in the forum. I found this extensions.joomla.org/extensions/external-contents/maps/5248
Users can add markers to a map

It works very well but the instructions about to fix an error is on line 109 with the new Joomla upgrade.

Hope it helps
