Hi, you can use the default 5 icons listed in administration. It is not easy to add new icon into Google Maps, you need the icon and then you need to set all needed data for the icon, so this need to be done in code (customized), see:

administrator/components/com_phocamaps/helpers/phocamapsrenderfront.php

e.g. : grey icon:
( https://www.phoca.cz/demo/phoca-maps-demo-plugin )

Code: Select all

var phocaIcon = new GIcon();
phocaIcon.image = '/demo/components/com_phocamaps/assets/images/giconyellow/image.png';
phocaIcon.shadow = '/demo/components/com_phocamaps/assets/images/giconyellow/shadow.png';
phocaIcon.iconSize = new GSize(26,30);
phocaIcon.shadowSize = new GSize(41,30);
phocaIcon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(0,30);
phocaIcon.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(13,0);
phocaIcon.imageMap = [18,1,19,2,21,3,23,4,24,5,24,6,24,7,24,8,23,9,23,10,22,
11,22,12,21,13,20,14,20,15,19,16,19,17,18,18,17,19,18,
20,20,21,22,22,22,23,22,24,22,25,18,26,15,27,12,28,8,
29,4,29,4,28,3,27,3,26,3,25,3,24,3,23,2,22,2,21,2,
20,2,19,2,18,1,17,1,16,1,15,1,14,1,13,1,12,1,11,9,
10,10,9,10,8,11,7,11,6,12,5,12,4,13,3,14,2,14,1];
phocaIcon.printImage = '/demo/components/com_phocamaps/assets/images/giconyellow/printImage.gif';
phocaIcon.mozPrintImage = '/demo/components/com_phocamaps/assets/images/giconyellow/mozPrintImage.gif';
phocaIcon.printShadow = '/demo/components/com_phocamaps/assets/images/giconyellow/printShadow.gif';
phocaIcon.transparent = '/demo/components/com_phocamaps/assets/images/giconyellow/transparent.png';

Hi, as I wrote it is not so easy to crate icon for Google Maps, you need to check Google Maps API to learn how to do it

Hi Jan,

I'd also be interested in some more icons and I know about the difficulties to make own icons. But I'd be happy with some of those provided by Google Maps itself. So, my question - or request for a feature - is to introduce a choice for the google maps standard icon as an alternative to the red one with dot.

Thank you very much!

Hi, I will take a look at the icons (this was changed for Google Maps API3) when I will change the API2 to API3 (but in API3 there are still missing tow main functions, so it will take some time )

Hi I've found this site for creating custom marker images...is pretty simple to make them you upload your image...press a button and download...i have the folder giconxxx with the same images as the default ones in phoca maps but i cannot choose them:( when i'm setting up a marker...

[Jan]

Hi, it easy to create an icon but it is not easy to add it into the system. so you can overwrite icons of some existing icon - just overwrite existing icon to your own.

Hi,

1: create new External Icon
2: In Icon Url : enter path to your icon, e.g. image/icons/like.jpg or url

Code: Select all

http://yourdomain/images/icons/like.jpg

3: save

Hope this help!
