I have the problem of retrive a Json into my Jquery script.
A php script, located at http://myserver.com/script.php return by echo a JSON like:
{"locations":[{"name":18492554,"lat":"12345","long":"234"},{"name":18492553,"lat":"4567","long":"234},{"name":18492555,"lat":"2234","long":"234}]}
I want to plot that point into my Jqueru script like:
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
// Creating a new map
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.6, -0.88),
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
///////////////////// GET the JSON data ///////////////////
var json = // ???????
// Creating a global infoWindow object that will be reused by all markers
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
// Looping through the JSON data
for (var i = 0, length = json.length; i < length; i++) {
var data = json[i],
latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.long);
// Creating a marker and putting it on the map
//var iconBase = 'https://dea-srl.net/domenico/traking/js/';
var iconBase = 'https://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
title: data.nombre,
icon: iconBase + 'schools_maps.png'
});
// Creating a closure to retain the correct data, notice how I pass the current data in the loop into the closure (marker, data)
(function(marker, data) {
// Attaching a click event to the current marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(e) {
infoWindow.setContent(data.nombre);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
})(marker, data);
}
}
})();
My problem is get that Json into de jquery. It is possible?
I tryed using get metho like:
$.get(" http://myserver.com/script.php");
but it doesnt works.
Any idea about that? Thanks in advance.
What you mean by doesn't work? What errors you have?
Are you using the done function?
$.get(" http://myserver.com/script.php").done(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
or you can use directly the $.getJSON function.
$.getJSON('http://myserver.com/script.php', function(data) {
var json = data;
});
To load the json data.
If there is any other issue, you have be a bit more precise.

I have tried implementing a marker cluster into my code from the Google Developers Documentation but no joy so far. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/marker-clustering
Here is the snippet of code from my .JS file paying attention to the function showAllCustomers(allData) where I want to implement the Marker Clusterer:
var map;
var geocoder;
//Code to load the map with center point of Monterey MA
function initMap() {
var monterey = {lat: 42.181613, lng: -73.215013};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 10,
center: monterey,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID,
labels: true,
});
//collect customer data and geocoder object - declare geocoder as global
var cusdata = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('data').innerHTML);
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
codeAddress(cusdata);
var allData = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('allData').innerHTML);
showAllCustomers(allData)
var searchData = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('searchData').innerHTML);
showSearchedCustomer(searchData)
}
function showAllCustomers(allData) {
//declare info window variable outside of loop to allow to clear when selecting other markers
var infoWind = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
Array.prototype.forEach.call(allData, function(data){
var content = document.createElement('div');
var strong = document.createElement('strong');
strong.textContent = [data.lastName + ' ' + data.physicalAddress];
content.appendChild(strong);
//add image to infowindow - you are also able to add image path to mysql and then append dynamically
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = 'images/santahat.png';
img.style.width = '50px';
content.appendChild(img);
//Create markers for customer locations and customize
var iconBase = 'https://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(data.latitude, data.longitude),
map: map,
icon: iconBase + 'homegardenbusiness.png'
});
// Add event listener to open info window and show customer name
marker.addListener('mouseover', function(){
infoWind.setContent(content);
infoWind.open(map, marker);
//add event listener to zoom in to clicked customer
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
map.panTo(this.getPosition());
map.setZoom(20);
});
});
})
}
Here is my attempt to add the MarkerClusterer (code same as previous up to this point):
//Create markers for customer locations and customize
var iconBase = 'https://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(data.latitude, data.longitude),
map: map,
icon: iconBase + 'homegardenbusiness.png'
});
//create marker clusterer to group data
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, [], {
imagePath: 'https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/markerclusterer/m'
});
// Add event listener to open info window and show customer name
marker.addListener('mouseover', function(){
infoWind.setContent(content);
infoWind.open(map, marker);
//add event listener to zoom in to clicked customer
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
map.panTo(this.getPosition());
map.setZoom(20);
});
});
markerCluster.addMarker(marker);
})
}

I am using gmap3 plugin to show google map. In my case I have stored all the information of properties in the database(mysql) with custom markers. Now I want that when the page is loaded it will display all the markers in google map.
For loading googlemap with gmap3 plugin I am using this code
function loadMap() {
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
if(typeof gMap == 'undefined') {
//// CREATES A MAP
gMap = jQuery('#map-canvas');
gMap.gmap3({
map: {
options: {
zoom: 2,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU
},
navigationControl: true,
scrollwheel: true,
streetViewControl: false
}
}
});
}
});
}
and inside div ``map-canvas I can see the map. But can some one kindly tell me how to show all the markers with the positions? Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable. Thanks.
Update
If I am wrong with my codes then someone can show their codes to me. I am using Gmap3 plugin.
I am not sure about this it will work in gmap3 but i use this code for creating my costome icon hope it will help you
In the index.php use this for creating your costom icon pathlike this
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$a=array();
while ($row = #mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ $a='$row[\'type\']'=>array('icon'=>'$row[\'path\']','shadow'=>'$row[\'path2\']')
}
$a=json_encode($a);
?>
it should be done before js file after that
write this
<script>
var customIcons= <?php echo $a; ?>;
</script>
and finally load your map and infoWindowbox() in that function
function infoWindowbox() {
downloadUrl("xml.php", function(data) {
var xml = data.responseXML;
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
var icon = customIcons[type] || {};
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: point,
icon: icon.icon,
shadow: icon.shadow,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP
});
markerArray.push(marker);
bounds.extend(marker.position);
bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html);
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
// var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markerArray);
});
}
function downloadUrl(url, callback) {
var request = window.ActiveXObject ? new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') : new XMLHttpRequest;
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
request.onreadystatechange = doNothing;
callback(request, request.status);
}
};
request.open('GET', url, true);
request.send(null);
}
function doNothing() {}
gmap3 initializator has a marker attribute that allows you to create markers.
See example with single and multiple markers here:
http://gmap3.net/en/catalog/10-overlays/marker-41
I think this example might help.
Updated:
If you want to read the data like from database (or) xml, You can then make an ajax request to that page (from any page on your site) using jQuery:
I have an example but this is with xml to get the data from xml file.
$.ajax({
url: 'categories.xml (or) your database path',
type: 'get',
success: function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var point = new GLatLng(lat,lng);
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var html = "<b>"+name+"<\/b><p>"+address;
var category = markers[i].getAttribute("category");
// create the marker
var marker = createMarker(point,name,html,category);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
// == show or hide the categories initially ==
show("theatre");
hide("golf");
hide("info");
// == create the initial sidebar ==
makeSidebar();
});
});
Like this you may get the data from database also through using queries. Try this one atleast you may get the idea.
The gmaps3 plugin documentation shows how to add markers. If you create an options array in php through ajax/json and feed that to the markers: option your markers should be added.
In my PHP file, I create an array of arrays, and use json_encode to make this array usable in javascript. When I echo this direction within the tags it works perfectly. However, I need the PHP to be run at regular intervals (I'm using setTimeout), so I'm trying to use AJAX to call the php and get that array to be used in the javascript function.
Here is the PHP:
$bubbles = array();
$result = mysql_query("SELECT text, lat, lng FROM bubbles");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$newbubble = array($row[0],$row[1],$row[2],'female-2.png');
$bubbles[] = $newbubble;
}
$js_array = json_encode($bubbles);
echo"$js_array";
And here is the javascript/AJAX portion in question:
setTimeout(initializeMaps, 5000);
function initializeMaps() {
var markers;
var ajax;
ajax=new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (ajax.readyState==4 && ajax.status==200)
{
var markers = ajax.responseText;
}
}
ajax.open("GET","ajax-getbubbles.php",true);
ajax.send();
/*The markers variable needs to be used in the following code*/
var iconBase = 'http://picaflora.com/uniproject/images/';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(), marker, i;
for (i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i][1], markers[i][2]),
map: map,
icon: iconBase + markers[i][3]
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent(markers[i][0]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
}
setTimeout(initializeMaps, 5000);
}
If I alert() or console.log(), all the data is coming back from PHP just fine. But somehow it seems that the rest of the script just isn't doing anything with the variable markers. I'm not too familiar with javascript, just familiar enough to tinker and try things till it works, so if you think there might be a better way to approach the problem, then by all means go for it. I'd rather not look into jQuery solutions at this point, unless it's necessary. Thanks!
You have to decode the encoded JSON string at the javascript's end before you can use it as a variable.
Instead of
var markers = ajax.responseText;
use
var markers = JSON.parse(markers);
Try this-
setTimeout(initializeMaps, 5000);
function initializeMaps() {
var markers;
var ajax;
ajax=new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.onreadystatechange=function(){
if (ajax.readyState==4 && ajax.status==200){
var markers = JSON.parse(ajax.responseText);
update(markers);
}
}
ajax.open("GET","ajax-getbubbles.php",true);
ajax.send();
}
function update(markers){
var iconBase = 'http://picaflora.com/uniproject/images/';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(), marker, i;
for (i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i][1], markers[i][2]),
map: map,
icon: iconBase + markers[i][3]
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent(markers[i][0]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
}
}
PS- I'm not sure why are calling setTimeout(initializeMaps, 5000); twice.
Javascript is asynchronous unlike PHP. All of that javascript code where you do things with the markers is being executed immediately before you have received a response. What you need to do is wrap it in a function:
function myFunc(markers) {
// all of your code to do stuff
}
Then call that function when the response state changes:
ajax.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (ajax.readyState==4 && ajax.status==200)
{
var markers = ajax.responseText;
myFunc(markers);
}
}
Im setting some json using wordpress post data on a page and then passing that json to some JS which loops through and adds markers to a map. I'm so close to getting it working, just need to figure out this last part.
My PHP code to create the json from an array:
<script type="text/javascript">
var markers = <?php echo json_encode($pageposts);?>
</script>
Here is my JS code:
var infowindow = null;
$(document).ready(function(){
initialize();
});
function initialize() {
var centerMap = new google.maps.LatLng(41.141208, -73.263726);
var options = {
zoom: 12,
center: centerMap,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), options);
setMarkers(map, markers);
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "loading..."
});
}
function setMarkers(map, markers) {
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i].meta_value),
map: map
});
var contentString = "Some content";
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
//infowindow.setContent(this.html);
//infowindow.open(map, this);
});
}
}
If you want to see the page, with the json embedded - check out this link:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

google.maps.LatLng expects two numbers as an argument. Currently you are passing in a string which will result in an error. So you need to convert your markers[i].metavalue to two numbers like so:
function setMarkers(map, markers) {
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
latlng = markers[i].meta_value.split(",")
lat = parseFloat(latlng[0])
lng= parseFloat(latlng[1])
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
map: map
});
var contentString = "Some content";
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
//infowindow.setContent(this.html);
//infowindow.open(map, this);
});
}
}
If you don't want to do a converson you could just store lat and lng values as numbers in separate properties. So your json would look like this:
var markers = [{
"ID":"883",
"post_title":"Tucker's Cafe",
"meta_key":"meta_geo",
"lat":41.1674377,
"lng": -73.2236554
}
and you would add a marker like so:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i].lat, markers[i].lng),
map: map
});
Am having a problem showing a map.
I have a collection of markers (from a db via php and json) and i want the center and the zoom for the map applied relative to all of the markers; Thats why am not setting the center and the zoom on the map and using the LatLngBounds object. Thing is, its not working.
This is the javascript code:
var jsonURL="http://localhost/gpsdev/db2json.php";
var map;
function init(){
var options = {
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControl:false,
scaleControl:true,
streetViewControl:false,
zoom:12,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-25.973728,32.582745)
};
var mapBounds= new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), options);
$.getJSON(jsonURL,{cli:"1"}, function(data){
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(data[i].Latitude,data[i].Longitude);
mapBounds.extend(point);
new google.maps.Marker({
position: point,
map: map,
title:data[i].PlateNR
});
}
});
map.fitBounds(mapBounds);
}
window.onload=init;
if i remove the zoom and center it doesnt work. this is the json am inputting on the javascript:
[
{\"VehicleID\":\"1\",\"ClientID\":\"1\",\"PlateNR\":\"MMA-01-01\",\"Type\":\"Ligeiro\",\"Latitude\":\"-25.973728\",\"Longitude\":\"32.582745\",\"Velocity\":\"0.000\",\"Ignition\":\"0\",\"ClientName\":\"Sergio\"},
{\"VehicleID\":\"1\",\"ClientID\":\"1\",\"PlateNR\":\"MMA-01-01\",\"Type\":\"Ligeiro\",\"Latitude\":\"-25.972456\",\"Longitude\":\"32.578968\",\"Velocity\":\"10.000\",\"Ignition\":\"1\",\"ClientName\":\"Sergio\"},
{\"VehicleID\":\"1\",\"ClientID\":\"1\",\"PlateNR\":\"MMA-01-01\",\"Type\":\"Ligeiro\",\"Latitude\":\"-25.970083\",\"Longitude\":\"32.580879\",\"Velocity\":\"80.000\",\"Ignition\":\"1\",\"ClientName\":\"Sergio\"},
{\"VehicleID\":\"1\",\"ClientID\":\"1\",\"PlateNR\":\"MMA-01-01\",\"Type\":\"Ligeiro\",\"Latitude\":\"-25.968191\",\"Longitude\":\"32.577724\",\"Velocity\":\"90.000\",\"Ignition\":\"1\",\"ClientName\":\"Sergio\"}
]
What am doing wrong here?
$.getJSON(jsonURL,{cli:"1"}, function(data){
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(data[i].Latitude,data[i].Longitude);
mapBounds.extend(point);
new google.maps.Marker({
position: point,
map: map,
title:data[i].PlateNR
});
}
// this is where you should call map.fitBounds()
map.fitBounds(mapBounds);
});
// move the following line from its existing location to inside $.getJSON call
// map.fitBounds(mapBounds);
Check this tutorial: http://www.svennerberg.com/2008/11/bounding-box-in-google-maps/, but be careful its not about the latest API (v3).
