Google Maps - a easier way

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi all.

Althoug this method is not complete as the plugin that personman is working, I think that it could be useful.

This week, google announced a new feature no google maps: if you want to embed a map in yout blog, just access the map, click on 'create link to this page', get the html code and copy/paste on your cms. But the generated code uses the iframe tag. Iframe tag is not allowed in b2evolution. Ouch.

A exemple of generated code:


<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=4&om=1&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&output=embed&s=AARTsJqzARj-Z8VnW5pkPMLMmZbqrJcYpw"></iframe><br/><a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=4&om=1&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left;font-size:small">Exibir mapa ampliado</a>

I have write a little plugin that justs allows the iframe tag. With the setting of $posts_allow_css_tweaks, it's easy to embed a map.

Just one more thing: $posts_allow_css_tweaks requires 1.10.2 :D

I installed your plugin and changed post_allow_css_tweaks to true in conf/_config.php , but still no luck. Anything else I need to do?

thx!

What message does b2evo display when you try to post something with a map?

wow fast reply! I was just getting ready to post again that it was my stupidity that was causing it to fail! :) "preview" doesn't work, but "save" does, and that is all that matters.

Thanks very much for the plugin, I need those maps!

Just confirming that $posts_allow_css_tweaks is in conf/_formatting.php for version 1.10.2?

The variable does not depend on anything outside the file (../blogs/conf/_formatting.php) so if you have 1.9.3 or even 1.8.7 installed you may get away with borrowing a _formatting.php from a 1.10.2 download and use this file instead.
Mind you, I haven't tested this, so keep the old file as backup.

Good luck

Walter, any chance you can point me to the plugin you referenced in your initial post on this thread? Thanks.

Hey, sorry to reopen an old thread but I could also use this plugin. Still running 1.10.2 :)
