Subject: WEC map with Google Earth API
Hi All,

has anybody got the Google Earth API working in WEC Map?. Would like to add this feature in my homepage.

Gerhard,

This is the first I have heard of it, so no, there is no way to do that in WEC Map. I don't see it happen anytime soon, either, unless the APIs are somewhat common and the plugin becomes more available.

Gerhard,

That said, it looks like you can enable the Google Earth view with just a little change. That's intriguing... I will play with that this afternoon and may have it in a snapshot for you to download.

Gerhard,

See if that's what you had in mind. You can download it from our development server [1].
To enable the button, set the following in TS:
CODE:

plugin.tx_wecmap_pi1.controls.showGoogleEarth = 1

Hi Christoph,

Great. It works. I made a template for the page +ext put the Map in the include and your code in the Setup and everything is OK.

Many thanks, really great extension.

Just for fun, try this within Typo 3: http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/milktruck/index.html

For the uninitiated Typo3 developer, how exactly did you go about getting this to work?

Once again I find myself in completely over my head. We had a functioning google map for our site and had Vinehosting upgrade our typo3 to V4.2.6. We have had several problems since then. One is our map doesn't work. We have the WEC Simple Map plug-in. This is configured according to the how to but when I go to "view" mode or to the front end I get this message: Please include the WEC Map API static template on your page and make sure it's included before (above) any other WEC Map static templates.
I have no idea what this is or where to find it or how to make it. I got a "new" API from google this morning and still get the same message on the front end. Someone please help
in His service,
Don

Click the page where the map is installed.
Then click Templates in the left menu.
Click edit whole template record on the Info/Modify menu.
In the screen that appears, click the tab titled Includes.
In the section "Include Static", click the WEC Map API and the WEC Map type you are using on the page in that specific order.
Save.

Go to your map. It should work.
