Project Description

About

This product lets you include google map service in a Plone 3 environment.
The Tecnoteca GoogleMap module extends Plone 3 with the capability to display different maps with macro-categories, categories, markers, paths and areas.

  • Custom categories with custom icons and unlimited markers per category
  • Location widget to define markers' position
  • Custom paths
  • Custom areas
  • Georeference for plone pages, events, news, images etc
  • Portlet to show georeference relations
  • Panoramio photos
  • JQuery based interface
  • Italian and English localizations

Installation

This package requires Plone 3.x or later and SmartColorWidget

Installing without buildout

Install this package in either your system path packages or in the lib/python directory of your Zope instance. You can do this using either easy_install or via the setup.py script.

Installing with buildout

1. Add "tecnoteca.googlemap" to the list of eggs to install, e.g.

[buildout]
...
eggs =
   ...
   tecnoteca.googlemap

2. Tell the instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

    [instance]
    recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
    ...
    zcml =
        tecnoteca.googlemap

3. Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

The google map api key can be generated here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

Portlet

If you'd like to add the "related markers" portlet please use the Plone portlet manager ( http://path_to_your_installation/@@manage-portlets ).

Create your map

Once you've installed and configured the product you can create a google map object.
Then, inside the google map object, you can create paths / areas / categories and, inside categories, markers.
