Making markers out of contact information of joomla

Post by konstantin »

Hi,

I think this phoca maps component is a great piece of work! Congratulations!!

Howevere, I would like to know if it is possible to make markers out of your joomla contacts.
So let's say I have 25 different contacts in my joomla database (using joomla 2.5) with their full information edited and updated in the contacts extension. It would be nice not to have to enter that information manually AGAIN 25 times as a marker in the phocus maps component. It would be handy if you could chose which type of contact information will be synced (name, address&city (of course), but also maybe phone number, website or other fields that are filled out in joomla contacts already).

Background of that question is that I want to make a map, where all my contacts are displayed as little stars (perfect with phocus maps!!) and would like to display the contact information that I chose (name, website, phone..) as soon as I click on the specific little star.

Hope it doesn't sound too complicated and that you can understand what I meant. Is this possible somehow?

Thanks for any advice and/or help!!!

Hi, I think, such features needs to be customized - and directly to Joomla! core - to somehow bind it with Phoca Maps :idea:
