TOPIC: Googlemaps in he Form

Googlemaps in he Form 1 year, 10 months ago #12790

IS it possible to have google maps show up in a form.

as an example , I have a simple "Contact Us" form and the bottom of the form shows the postal address, I would like to be able to put a googlemap next to it showing the location. I use JCE and have an API for the site and I can actually show a "click here" to have a litebox pop up to show the map , but would prefer to have the map on the page.

any ideas would be appreciated very much

HOW TO - Google Maps in a Form 1 year, 10 months ago #13177

To place a map in a form you can create a new section in the form and put the map code into the 'description' field.

If you use JCE Editor and want to load the map in an IFrame you will need to get the IFrame plugin for the JCE Editor. Just do a Google search for 'JCE iframe plugin'.

I tried it in one of my contact forms just to see if it would work and it did! There are probably other ways to do this, bu this one's quick and works perfectly.

It's up to you to figure out how to insert the Geo-locating information, but I'm pretty sure you could load a map based on form variables with a little bit of effort.
