This module shows a Google Map with markers of the SOBI2 entries.

A Google map with markers of the SOBI2 entries will be shown on each SOBI2 page. In the category views the shown entry markers are dependent on the entries in the categories. Only the entries within a category are shown. The map will not be shown in empty categories or in categories with entries without geo coordinates. The visibility can be adjusted individually.
Also the map can be adjusted with various settings, e.g. the size of the map, the map control buttons or the zoom level and the map type.

The module requires Joomla 1.0.x, SOBI2 and a Google Maps API key.
You will find a demo of the module on our demo site.

Good add on by styxx, April 25, 2007

In my opinion this is not the easiest add on to get working. It requires (or did in my case) some hand coding to change css and .php files in order to work and display properly.

BUT those changes are detailed reasonably well in the enclose manual - I hit one small snag but my post on the support forum was answered within 24 hours and the suggested fix worked like a dream (the issue was with my very poor understanding of PHP rather than the product).

Bottom line this is not a "click -upload -and tick a box" product, and maybe not one a newbie like me would in retrospect have been wise to purchase.

However I AM a newbie and I got it working (with a little help from sobi) and once working it is a fantastic product!

I would certainly reccomend this great product - but expect to have to get your hands dirty with some fairly minor coding to fine tune it!

Owner's reply:
Thank you very much for your Review.

The SOBI2 Geo Category Overview Module is a standard Joomla! module and therefore it needs a Joomla! module position.

If your Joomla! template doesn't provide you with the appropriate module position it has to be inserted in the index.php file of your template.

Thanks again,

The SOBI Development Team

Purchased the module thinking this is just a easy road but after almost feeling unhappy about this addon I figured out that my Lon and Lat values was incorrect... Good TIP for all futures users obtain your values from http://maps.yahoo.com

This component = 10/10 in my books!
