I have just finished a map and want the contentstring to get data from my js file to add into infobox of markers. I had it working under a simple infoBubble.setContent('<b>'+data.description+'</b>'+'<br>'+data.name);
query. But now I have created tabs and require each one to read different data from the map.js file.
My code so far:
window.onload = function () {
// Creating a new map
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center : new google.maps.LatLng(51.50746, -0.127594),
zoom : 10,
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var contentString = '<div id="content">'+
'<h1>'+'</h1>'+
'<p><b>Test</b>'
'</div>';
var contentString2 = '<div id="content">'+
'<h1>Info</h1>'+
'<p><b>Info</b>'
'</div>';
var contentString3 = '<div id="content">'+
'<h1>More</h1>'+
'<p><b>More</b>'
'</div>';
// Creating a global infoBox object that will be reused by all markers
infoBubble = new InfoBubble({
minWidth: 300,
maxWidth: 300,
minHeight: 150,
maxHeight: 350,
arrowSize: 50,
arrowPosition: 50,
arrowStyle: 2,
borderRadius: 10,
shadowStyle: 1,
});
var div = document.createElement('DIV');
div.innerHTML = 'test 101';
infoBubble.addTab('Details', contentString);
infoBubble.addTab('Info', contentString2);
infoBubble.addTab('More', contentString3);
// Custom Markers
var markers = {};
var categoryIcons = {
1 : "images/liver_marker1.png",
2 : "images/liver_marker2.png",
3 : "images/liver_marker3.png",
4 : "images/liver_marker4.png",
5 : "images/liver_marker5.png",
6 : "images/liver_marker6.png",
7 : "images/liver_marker.png"
}
// 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.latitude, data.longitude);
// Creating a marker and putting it on the map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position : latLng,
map : map,
title : data.title,
icon : categoryIcons[data.category]
});
// 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) {
//infoBubble.setContent('<b>'+data.description+'</b>'+'<br>'+data.name);
infoBubble.open(map, marker);
map.panTo(loc);
});
})(marker, data);
}
}
})();
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
A sample of my js file:
var json = [{
"name" : "Acton Street",
"latitude" : 51.52834,
"longitude" : -0.118619,
"description" : "Leaf",
"category" : 7
}, {
"name" : "Aldermans Hill",
"latitude" : 51.618522,
"longitude" : -0.11167,
"description" : "Pod",
"category" : 7
}, {
"name" : "Aldermans Hill",
"latitude" : 51.618522,
"longitude" : -0.11167,
"description" : "Turner",
"category" : 7
},{
"name" : "Alexandra Road/Holloway Street CP",
"latitude" : 51.469744,
"longitude" : -0.363063,
"description" : "Box",
"category" : 7
}]
Basically have contentString look for "description" have contentString2 look for "name" and contentString3 look for "latitude" and "longitude"
Would love a heads up on this one.
Cheers
Have you tried updateTab
?
//update the first tab content
infoBubble.updateTab(0, 'Details', 'new content');
Have a look at some examples http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobubble/examples/example.html/
Also note that the id
property must be unique. As it is right now, all your content divs have the same id
.
