Hi, Serge posted this link as example of map

http://gorsport.com.ua/

I like what I see in this last link can cobalt do this out of the box, if so I will buy atonce, if it is easy to be done with all these options on maps and with customized location markers, please explain how can be done with cobalt. Thank you.

Example on link is done with Cobalt, so YES it's possible. You have geo field with template (you can make your own), in geo field you have configuration where you can set who can choose map marker and marker source. You can also customize info window. Just go through field setting and you we'll see what can be done.

Already answered in the other topic... I guess, this is your post as a guest, right? ;)

darkhoros And the filter links above the maps is built in cobalt filter?

Hence, the example URL makes use of the additional filters "module". Actually the same capabilities, but placed into a module position.

Cobalt comes with a build-in advanced search/filter area above the list templates.
Here is an example screenshot of the default position and appearance above the list, uncollapsed with vertical tabs:

Hi, Thank you for your excellent answers. Pepper you say " default position" so the layout in the website link is not the default one, so I will need to do some customization?

Ok I Like what I see so far, and it seems that cobalt has good support, so I think I will try out the $99 package and see what I can do as the testing work I done on the demo site, got deleted I don't know why, so I was unable to test the product enough.

Do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you.

darkhoros Pepper you say " default position" so the layout in the website link is not the default one,

I was talking about the "Filters". The website uses a module. My Screenshot shows the default position without any extra module.

so I will need to do some customization?

The list under the Map view seems to be a customized blog layout. Nothing fancy, but you would need some custom CSS.

Tips

  • BTW, the subscription also includes an Adv.Table list template, which has many features by pure configuration parameters.
  • There is also a 3rdParty Depot! You might try the templates from Andi/JoomBoost. Which give an easy starting point. Packs category is here... hence the business-dir and profile packs.

the testing work I done on the demo site, got deleted I don't know why,

The demo site has an automated reset.

so I was unable to test the product enough. Do you have any recommendations for me?

Simply download the free Cobalt Package. Download and install Media package, too. Then download and install the free Packs (hence some restrictions with missing Gallery- and Date/Time fields.)

Test away!

Not exactly. That part is customized. In order to create your custom filters that can without page reload change barkers on the map you have to:

  1. Create your own mareker processor. Copy com_cobalt/tmpl/markers_list/default.php. In field parameters select this as new marker processor. ANd edit this new processor, also include different marker properies.
  2. Now in article list map template, you cat add filters, and on click toggle visibility of the markers based on those properties.

So, filters like those require custom development. Not possible out of the box.
