README

A Typo3 extensions which adds categorized points of interest with GoogleMaps and SnazzyInfoWindow integration.

Installation

The extension is tested in composer mode but, like all composer extensions, should work in classic mode without any hassle.

Composer mode

Just require the extension from the command line.

composer require m2s/typo3-poi-map

Classic mode

Download the latest release and extract it into a folder named poi_map in your extension folder.
Go to the extension manager in the typo3 backend and enable the extension.

Setup

TypoScript

Include the static typoscirpt in your root template or an extension template of your choice.

Extension configuration

Basic settings

Setting	Type	Description	Default
maps.api_key	`text`	`Maps JavaScript API` key: If not set the maps implementations will be rendered in development mode	`''`
maps.default_type	`select`	`mapTypeId`: The default display type for google maps rendered by the plugin	`'roadmap'`
maps.default_style	`text/json`	`styles`: A json string that defines how the google map is rendered, only works if api key is set	`''`

Hint: Visit SnazzyMaps for some awesome styles.

Content settings

Setting	Type	Description	Default
maps.use_typoscript_language	`checkbox`	Use Typo3 language: If set maps will be loaded using the language code from the typoscript configuration (by default google maps use the browser preferences to determine the display language)	`false`

ATTENTION: Please be sure to set the config.language property in your Typoscript appropiately, if you want to use this setting

Advanced Settings

Setting	Type	Description	Default
maps.default_options	`text/json`	Default maps options: The `styles` option is overwritten by the `maps.default_style` setting if set to anything other than `''`	`''`
wizard.api_key	`text`	`Maps JavaScript API` key for the backend wizard: Is ignored if `wizard.use_frontend_api` is set	`''`
wizard.use_frontend_api	`checkbox`	Use frontend API key for backend wizard: If set the API key defined for the frontend implementation is used for the backend	`false`
wizard.center	`text/csv`	Default center for backend wizard: Commaseparated geo coordinates	`'0.0,0.0'`
wizard.zoom	`int+`	Default zoom for backend wizard: A value between `1` and `18`	`1`

In most cases it is advisable to not use an api key for the backend to conserve quota, because you will be billed after 28,000 loads per day.
With that said however it can be useful to use a different api key for the backend to track the usage separately.

Constants

These settings won't be available if you did not include the static typoscript in your template (see above).

Template settings

As is common with plugin extensions you can customize the templates by adding your own root paths and overwriting the templates.

Setting	Type	Desciption	Default
templateRootPath	`text`	Path to templates	`''`
partialRootPath	`text`	Path to partials	`''`
layoutRootPath	`text`	Path to layouts	`''`

Persitence settings

This setting does not have any effect at the moment as data insertion is done via the List module.
However it is recommended to set this to the UID of the page in which you keep your Place records.
