no marker, only the shadow of a marker

[plunk]

I am getting content maps to work,
but now it shows no marker, it shows only the shadow of a marker. And when I click on the shadow, the info-balloon pops up.

The answer to this question is probably allready available on this forum. But sorry... I can't read Italiano. Deutch auch gut!

Thanks!

Just found out this error only happens when I choose "Marker colour: Joomla and Grey and Yellow...". In fact the only colour that provides no problem is orange.

I thought choosing joomla would create me a customizable marker. Now I probably have to find out were to put a correct .png.

I will open a new thread for this question!

This text is very confusing to me. No offend, but I wonder if this is a proper translation.


Installation

Install the module from Extensions > Install/Uninstall
Publish the module in Module Manager.
To display the map, insert the API Key of your site in module's parameters.
If you don't have an API Key, generate a new one from Google Maps site
How to display the module

The module can be displayed within the site as any other module, selecting an existing position in Position parameter.
It could be useful to insert the module also within an article or in a category's description, as in this exemple. To reach the same result:

    * create a new menu item Layout category list and set the parameter Description on Show
    * in Position parameter of the ContentMap module write a non existing position, i.e. mappa
    * in Category ID parameter write the ID of the category
    * in Content > Category Manager select the category and call this position within a category, insert the code <p>Your Browser should show you our Turismo.eu.<br />You can show this content here: <a href="http://www.turismo.eu/codice.html">Turismo.eu</a>.</p> in category's description.

How to display the articles within the map

In Parameters (Advanced) of the articles, there's a parameter called Key Reference. Insert the geo coordinates of the article separated only by a comma and without blank spaces in this field, e.g. 41.895466,12.482324 . They corrisponding to Latitude and Longitude.
To find easily the geo coordinates, use the Geo tool of Turismo.eu
After saving the article, in the map will appear a marker.

Every article containing the coordinates within the Key Reference will appear in the map.

ATTENTION: in the module there are only markers of content assigned to a section and a category, not static contents!

Hi plunk, do you have sef activated? the module is published on a sub menu?
Please give me a link so I can help you

In my first message in this topic i wrote this part of the problem was allready solved. Now I started an other topic to find out how to customize my markers: I don't want the big Google-markers because 200 big markers is too much for the Netherlands.

I'm getting the same problem: Only shadows, you say it's solved, could you tell how?

Hi jaareval,
in contentmap module parameters, set the parameter IN CASE OF SEF ACTIVATED on Submenu item of first level with Sef activated

Just found out how to use my own marker. Slowly it became cear to me the marker contentmap uses don't come from /modules/mod_contentmap/img/, but from somewhere else, because altering one of these images had no effect.

Therefore I altered gmapez-2.5_1.js, line 18:
i changed: ./modules/mod_contentmap/img/
into: http://www.mydomainname.nl/modules/mod_contentmap/img/

Same in line 19 and in gmapez-2.5.js
line 18, 19 and 20

This worked for me!
