Google Geopoint map API

Has anyone got the Google map generator to work with Smarty?

I'm trying to add a map to every product (really businesses) and planned on storing the longitude and latitude in the Products table.

my problem is I'm not a javascript programmer, and I can't get it to work on a smarty page (so I can use Smarty variables for Long & Lat)

I've tried enclosing it in {literal} tags and it doesn't work.

to see the stand alone version http://www.omaha-restaurants.com/page_001.html

Here is the code minus my API id

Code:

<html>

  <head>

    <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=Myappid" type="text/javascript"></script>

  </head>

  <body>

    <div id="map" style="width: 400px; height: 400px" align="center"></div>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    //<![CDATA[

  function createMarker(point,html) { 

        // FF 1.5 fix 

        html = '<div style="white-space:nowrap;">' + html + '</div>'; 

        var marker = new GMarker(point); 

        GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() { 

          marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); 

        }); 

        return marker; 

      } 





    

    var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map"));

    map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());

    map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-95.930297 , 41.255498 ), 1);

  var point = new GPoint(-95.930297 , 41.255498); 

      var marker = createMarker(point,'Believers Bible Chapel') 

      map.addOverlay(marker); 



    

    //]]>





    </script>

  </body>

</html>

Can anyone help?

Well, you would need to store the <head> portion in home.tpl, and then the rest of it would go on whatever page you wanted it to display on. Yes, you will need to enclose the script with {literal} tags.

I tried that using a static page for a test page http://www.omaha-restaurants.com/pages.php?pageid=7 and get an error that the page can't be opened.

Re: Google Geopoint map API

golfguy, I see that you have integrated Google Maps under a tab at the product details (example: http://www.omaha-restaurants.com/Long-John-Silvers-p-447.html -> click tab 'Map') pages; can you shed some light on how this is done and is this Google Map information also saved in the X-Cart backoffice or?
