A simple but very configurable Google Map plugin for ExpressionEngine. The plugin supports both interactive Javascript maps as well as static maps.
=====================================================
Installation
=====================================================
Create a folder in the ./system/expressionengine/third_party/ called mapster and put the file pi.mapster.php in the newly created folder. The plugin is now installed and ready to use.
=====================================================
Basic Usage
=====================================================
It's very simple to use Mapster. Just use the following code to show an interactive Javascript map:
{exp:mapster address="1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA, United States"}
To show a static map (image) without interaction, just provide the interactive parameter and set the value to no.
{exp:mapster address="1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA, United States" static="yes"}
By default, the map size is set to 350 pixels by 220 pixels, but you can amongst lots of other arguments pass the width and height parameters.
