Integrating Google Maps in a CFDIV?

Report · Jul 27, 2008

Hi,

I played around with the Google Maps API and I like it a lot. I found the excellent cf_googlemaps custom tag at riaforge.com and that worked like a charm. I was (and still am) ready to get some mapping done.

Unfortunately, integrating a Google map in a CFDIV (or a CFLAYOUT, CFPOD, etc. for that matter) results in an error. An otherwise perfectly good call to a Google Map just keps throwing the JS error and I can't seem to fix it. In fact, I am not even getting closer... 😞 This is the error:

"Error processing JavaScript in markup for element centerpanel: [Enable debugging by adding 'cfdebug' to your URL parameters to see more information]"

I tried stripping the code down to the bare minimum that will render a map (straight from the Google Map API pages examples), but the result was the same... zip...

I expect somebody else must have run into this at one point, as this API has been around for a while and so had CF8. Any of you people heard what might solve this? I am not copying any code into this post just yet, as I do not think it is in my code, but if that will help, I will do so.

Thnx for your time and efforts :-)

I haven't yet used the tag. It looks quite interesting.

I had a look at the cf_googleMap Documentation out of curiosity. Apparently, putting <cf_googlemapshow/> at the end, just before the closing body tag, solves a number of Javascript issues.

Yeah, I remember reading the bit, but I did not connect it with the my JS-woes. I will look into it today and post back on it.

Thnx!
