Title: contact page with ios map
Post by: xmanhattan on September 08, 2012, 12:58:17

Hello all,

Is it possible to place the ios map at the bottom of the contact page?
If so, how?

Peter you can do it creating at your template a module position under main content and publishing there the Content Item Module (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/content/215.html) which has as content an autonomous page with IOS Map bot inside. (It is a combination).

You can do it also with another way without to use contact component. Create an autonomous page entering a contact form using eforms bot and placing there also IOS Map bot.

Niko,

I have done something slightly different than what you described but I was wondering if it can be done using a contact from the components in addition to either the google or bing maps.

FYI, I have created an autonomous page and entered the following:

Code: [Select]

{eforms}samplecontact{/eforms}

{bingmaps}40.6259665_22.9484459,16,700,450,Lefkos Pyrgos - Thessaloniki{/bingmaps}
or
{iosmap title=Athens&info=The city of Athens}38.070989, 23.766053{/iosmap}

Then I added a module position in the template index.php.  I named it autonomous.

I also added that module position into the template manager module positions above the  mosMainBody() so that I could assign the
contact info module http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/miscellaneous/236.html (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/miscellaneous/236.html)

The only problem that I can see is if the user wants to use the user rating, author name, etc from the global configuration because that info cannot be assigned to pages.  Otherwise the contact info module has to be placed further down the page.

This works but I thought there might be a way to use a contact from the contact component.

Peter your question was how to add under contact page a live map with IOS Map bot. The 2 ways i gave you, cover it and is tested because i have done done it in past.

Now you mention about contact info module and auto retrieving data from contact component, which is different from your initial question. So could you please explain me finally what exactly you want to do, because i am a little confused about your needs.

I am interested to use a contact from the contact component with a google map on the same page.

I did not fully understand if you did this, and if so, how?

Then my first reply on your topic-question is the answer.
