I'm using a Google Maps plugin that someone developed for CodeIgniter and everything works great. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is how I might be able to do something.
I have an index function that loads all the necessary configuration items for the map to show on the page. I would like to write a few functions that allow me to update just the points on the page instead of having to redraw the map each time.
I know this is more suited for the person that developed this but they don't have a forum to ask questions and they are over sea's so responses are delayed when I have emailed them in the past. Actually, it's been about a week since I last emailed them and no response yet.
Below is my controller and function, I will gladly explain anything to anyone if they have questions. I've tried to document the code as best as I can.
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Map extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
//Load Google Maps Library
$this->load->library('googlemaps');
//Load Map Model
$this->load->model('map_model');
//Initialize Config Array
$config = array();
//Set Config array properties
$config['apiKey'] = '<omitted>';
$config['center'] = '<omitted>';
$config['zoom'] = 'auto';
$config['map_height'] = '920px';
$config['directions'] = TRUE;
$config['zoomControlPosition'] = 'BOTTOM_RIGHT';
$config['zoomControlStyle'] = 'SMALL';
$config['disableNavigationControl'] = TRUE;
$config['mapTypeControlPosition'] = 'BOTTOM_LEFT';
//Initialize GoogleMap and pass Config file
$this->googlemaps->initialize($config);
//Get co-ordinates from db
$coords = $this->map_model->get_coordinates();
//Loop through coordinates
foreach($coords as $coordinate)
{
$address_temp = '<table><tr><td>'.$coordinate->Address1.'</td></tr><tr><td>'.$coordinate->City.','.$coordinate->State.' '.$coordinate->Zip.'</td></tr></table>';
$marker = array();
$marker['position'] = $coordinate->Lat.','.$coordinate->Long;
$marker['infowindow_content'] = $coordinate->Name.'<br /><br />'.$coordinate->Address1.'<br />'.$coordinate->City.','.$coordinate->State.' '.$coordinate->Zip;
$marker['onclick'] = 'detail-card';
$this->googlemaps->add_marker($marker);
}
$data['University_Categories'] = $this->map_model->get_categories('University');
$data['City_Categories'] = $this->map_model->get_categories('City');
// Create Map and store in data variable
$data['map'] = $this->googlemaps->create_map();
//Set main_content to map view
$data['main_content'] = "map_view";
//Load Welcome view and pass data
$this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
}
}
