Implementing a custom info window on googlemaps? - php

I need to implement a custom info window on my google map.
I found this custom info window here : Creating custom info windows in Google Maps
I used the code provided by Googles Developers page , to create the map and everything worked great with the typical info window. Now i changed my code to try and implement the above custom info window , called "infobox" . However it is not working. I am not sure if i used the code correctly.
This is my code for the google map. Note the infoBox function , is the custom info window.

In the above code , i just changed everything mentioning infowindow , with the new infobox , and added the new function InfoBox(). However i am not sure , how and where i should use the
infobox.setContent(html); // set content
infobox.open(map, marker); // open on the marker
infobox.draw(); // to redraw if infobox size changed
infobox.close();
Where should i use the infobox.close() function? In my code i commented this line , cause i didnt know how to use it.

I believe your missing a position: absolute style for the infobox and also background color if it's not set in the css (originally I had that set in css, that's why it worked for me :-))
look for this line in your code:
this.div_.className = 'infowindow';
and add this below:
this.div_.style.position = 'absolute';
this.div_.style.backgroundColor = '#fff';
You should also add some images for the infobox as the whole box is build based on the images (you'll find references in the script).

Google maps code markers codes works on firefox but not chrome or safari

I am creating a user map system that allows users to either select a new location or select a saved location (from an sql file). I want the map to load with a draggable marker that can be used to select a new position, with the lat/lng populating the relevant fields on the form. I also want the saved locations to populate a dropdown menu, allowing the users to select a location, the lat/lng and name will then populate the relevant fields and the draggable marker disappears from the map. When ‘Select a new location’ is selected from the dropdown menu, the ‘saved locations’ markers disappear and the draggable marker should reappear.
This is the code I have. I admit I am new to this, and have used the Google Maps Developer a lot, as well as searching online and have taken quite a while to get to this point.
This code does exactly what I want in Firefox and IE, but not in Chrome or Safari. In Chrome the saved locations appear in the dropdown menu but when I click on ‘select a new location’ after I have loaded a saved location, the draggable marker does not reappear. In Safari, the saved locations are not even loaded. I would appreciate any advice on how I can fix the errors with my code that could be causing this. I have tried debugging in Chrome (31.0.1650.57 ) and Safari (5.1.7 for windows), I get Cannot read property '_e3' of undefined of the main.js and also Unexpected token <

How to not let google map group addresses together?

i am using google map api to show addresses on map with markers, the problem i am having is, In the marker, i am showing a link to go to the profile page of person which is there in the map, but if there are more than 1 person exists on same address then google group those addresses and doesn't show the link, is there any way we can stop grouping of addresses?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

If you put multiple markers for single point, those will always overlap. It will be interesting to see if anyone can help you. I would suggest, when there are more than one people come under same place/marker, put their details/links on the infoWindow. Don't try to show multiple markers for same point. And if you are desperate enough to show multiple markers, then just change size of your marker-icons, so that they are visible to user even-if overlaps.
It is a good thing that google is showing all the relative address together otherwise if it wont, markers will be hidden by each other and you wont be able to see even how many markers are there on one place.

Google Maps using Marker CLusterer - map hangs !!! Why!

This is weird. I'm using the marker clusterer to bunch all my markers however the first time when the map renders and when I try to drag it or pan it - it hangs and firefox tells me the script is slowing it down so I have to stop the script. But if I zoom it out - it zooms normally and panning it from then on causes no issues - I have no idea whats going wrong here. Here is my code am I missing something here - must be something wrong with my initialisation:
var map = null;
function initializeGMaps() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible())
{
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
{
var side_bar_html = "";
var gmarkers = [];
var htmls = [];
var i = 0;
iconBlue = new GIcon();
// A function to create the marker and set up the event window
function createMarker(point,name,html) {
iconBlue.image = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_yellow.png';
iconBlue.shadow = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png';
iconBlue.iconSize = new GSize(12, 20);
iconBlue.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);
iconBlue.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconBlue.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var marker = new GMarker(point,{ icon:iconBlue, });
GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
gmarkers[i] = marker;
htmls[i] = html;
side_bar_html += '<a href="javascript:myclick(' + i + ')">' + name + '<\/a><br>';
i++;
return marker;
}
// This function picks up the click and opens the corresponding info window
function myclick(i) {
gmarkers[i].openInfoWindowHtml(htmls[i]);
}
// create the map
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng( 43.907787, -50.359741), 5);
var customUI = map.getDefaultUI();
customUI.controls.maptypecontrol = false;
customUI.controls.menumaptypecontrol = true;
map.setUI(customUI);
// A function to read the data
function readMap() {
var url='get-map-markers.php';
var request = GXmlHttp.create();
request.open("GET", url, true);
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
var xmlDoc = request.responseXML;
// obtain the array of markers and loop through it
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
// hide the info window, otherwise it still stays open where the removed marker used to be
map.getInfoWindow().hide();
map.clearOverlays();
// empty the array
allmarkers = [];
//var clusterer = new Clusterer( map );
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 html = markers[i].getAttribute("html");
var label = markers[i].getAttribute("label");
// create the marker
var marker = createMarker(point,label,html);
//map.addOverlay(marker);
allmarkers.push(marker);
//clusterer.AddMarker( marker, html );
}
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, allmarkers);
// put the assembled side_bar_html contents into the side_bar div
}
}
request.send(null);
}
readMap();
}
}
}
$(document).ready(function() { initializeGMaps(); } );
$('body').unload( function () { GUnload(); } );
UPDATE: I just noticed that the script at google.com is causing the page to be slow :( how do I fix this? WHat have I done in my code to bring this behavior.
Markerclusterer sucks. Use this one:
