How to set the Phoca Maps to the Home page

Post by hcdanny15 »

Hi,

I can't find the method to set the Phoca Maps to the Home page, just like the 'Menu Assignment' in Joomla's article setting, which set the article to some pages.

Thank you and have a good weekend.

Hi,
not sure if I understand well..
1.) You can link Phoca Maps component view with a menu link to Phoca Maps component.
2.) You can link an articel with a Phoca Maps map includet with help of Phoca Maps Plugin.

Kind regards,

Hi, Benno:

Thank you for reply me. Actually, my question is simply: how to set the Phoca Maps so that it can be showed on the Home page. From Joomla’s Components --> Phoca Maps --> Control Panel --> Maps / Markers / Icons, I can’t find any option to set the Phoca Maps to Home.

BTW, how to find the “Menu link” in “…view with a menu link to Phoca Maps component”? English is my second language, so if you still don't understand what I said, hope you re-ask me.

Thank you again and have a good weekend.

Hi,
BTW, how to find the “Menu link” in “…view with a menu link to Phoca Maps component”?
If you like, you can create this menu link:
backend --> Menus --> Your Menu (e.g. Main Menu) --> Menu Manager: Menu Items --> New --> Menu Item Type * - Select --> Phoca Maps --> Map View (this view display a map)
--> Select Map *=(the map you already have created)
--> Menu Title *=(e.g.)Phoca Map
Save & Close
Now in frontend you will find a new menu item (Phoca Maps) which display the map you already have created.
Thank you for reply me. Actually, my question is simply: how to set the Phoca Maps so that it can be showed on the Home page.
If this map should be displayed insite an articel in frontend you should copy the code you find in:
backend --> Components --> Phoca Maps --> Maps --> Plugin Code (of the map you already have created)
and paste it inside your article.
then you should install & enable Phoca Maps Plugin:

Now in frontend your map should be displayed inside your article.

Kind regards,
