Not unless you post your code and provide a lot more information. Is the page available on a public URL?

Hi Darren,

Unfortunately it is not on a public URL, but the code I'm using is as follows.

In my template I have:

<div id="map1" class="map">
<umbraco:Item field="map" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
</div>

I can confirm the umbraco:Item is returning the co-ordinates and zoom level correctly.

And in my jQuery document ready function I have the following:

if (typeof ItemEditing == 'undefined') {
    $('div[class=map]').each(function() {

      $(this).addClass('mapdimensions');
      var mapId = $(this).attr('id');
      
      var value = $(this).html();
      value = $.trim(value);
      
      var point = value.split(',');

      var lat = parseFloat(point[0]);
      var lon = parseFloat(point[1]);
      var zoom = parseFloat(point[2]);
      
      fm.maps[fm.maps.length] = new GMap2(document.getElementById(mapId));
      var m = fm.maps[fm.maps.length-1];
      
      var p = new GLatLng(lat, lon);
      m.setCenter(p, zoom); 
        

      var marker = new GMarker(p);
      m.addOverlay(marker);  
    });
  }

I am using jQuery version 1.4.2 and I'm also including the Google Maps API with the following code:

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;sensor=false&amp;key=[MY_KEY_IS_HERE]" type="text/javascript"></script>

Thanks, Dave

The error message is just that you haven't declared the fm variable. you need something like:

var fm = {};

at the top of your script.

Hi Dave,

Not sure why you are using the "fm.maps" namespace/array at all... wouldn't the following work fine?

var m = new GMap2(document.getElementById(mapId));

Cheers, Lee.

@lee - i think the example comes from an old blog post of mine. perhaps we need to blog an update??

Hi Darren,

Thanks for your response.

I've added 'var fm = {}' to my script but FireBug is telling me now that 'fm.maps is undefined'.

Dave

@dave - erm ok:

var fm = {};
fm.maps = new Array();

Thanks, it's working now.

It did indeed come from a blog post - Linked to from the project page

"Information on rendering maps on the front end of your Umbraco website is here: www.darren-ferguson.com/.../...mbraco-website.aspx"

Thanks for the help.
Dave

Could you mark the topic as solved please?

Thanks.

is working on a reply...
