deprecated and killed

In Tiki 7 we started to move from GoogleMaps (GMap) to OpenStreetMaps, respectively OpenLayers, which offers a GoogleMap layer. Latest since Tiki 13 we are using only OpenLayer (OpenStreetMap) and step b step remove(d) ll code from old MaServer and GMap.

Please visit the following pages, if you want to use Maps in Tiki:
OpenLayers, Maps, PluginMaps

Please mind: This page stays here only for historic reasons and to guide to Tiki's OpenLayers page

Panoramio

Other similar features (which also Google Maps) could be introduced in your Tiki installation.

For instance, Panoramio, a photo-sharing community using Google Maps ("Discover the world through satellite photos" - http://www.panoramio.com).

This kind of simple feature could included through creating and using those two files in your tiki installation:

tiki-panoramio.php
Copy to clipboard
<?php
include 'tiki-setup.php';

$default_lon = '2.338';
$default_lat = '48.89';
$default_zoom = '3';
$default_kind = '2';

if (isset($_REQUEST['lon'])) { $lon = preg_replace('/[^0-9\.-]/','',$_REQUEST['lon']); }
else { $lon = $default_lon; }
if (isset($_REQUEST['lat'])) { $lat = preg_replace('/[^0-9\.-]/','',$_REQUEST['lat']); }
else { $lat = $default_lat; }
if (isset($_REQUEST['zoom'])) { $zoom = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$_REQUEST['zoom']); }
else { $zoom = $default_zoom; }
if (isset($_REQUEST['kind'])) { $kind = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$_REQUEST['kind']); }
else { $kind = $default_kind; }

$smarty->assign('lon',$lon);
$smarty->assign('lat',$lat);
$smarty->assign('zoom',$zoom);
$smarty->assign('kind',$kind);

$smarty->assign('mid','tiki-panoramio.tpl');
$smarty->display('tiki.tpl');
?>
