The way to add Google Maps to Joomla sites
Normally, when you want to display a Map from a Google Map, you will look for the modules available on JED. However, there is still an easier way for you to embed these maps in articles or modules.
The way that I show below does not require any API or a 3rd party module.
First, you must add your business or location on Google Map:
- Visit site https://www.google.com/maps/
- Sign in with your Google account.
- Right click on the place you want to add.
- Click to "Add Your Bussiness".
- Follow the required steps.
Once your place has appeared on Google Map, click it. Next, click the "Share" button on the left sidebar:
Switch to the "Embed a Map" tag and copy the code provided:
After you have copied the code, paste it into the article or module where you want to embed the map.
One caveat is that Joomla's default editors remove the <IFRAME> tag, so you should disable these editors when adding the above code.
To turn it off, go to System > Global Configuration > Default Editor : Editor - None
In order to embed this map and display it as a module, go to Module Manager > New > Custom > Paste the code that is copied.
Finally, choose the page and display the position for the module.
-----------
This tutorial does not use an API, so you can rest assured that it will not fail when there is an update from Google Map or a policy change from them.
Thanks in advance.
tiktok still not showing. Where else do I have to check? (่joomla4)
I've just installed the component to migrate K2 to articles on a very large site, and I have some problems:
I have 5000+ tags, and only 1400 were moved to Joomla tags.
What is the best practice for migrating the K2 items and saving the same IDs that I was using in the K2 items and categories if I already have articles and categories with the same IDs? Do I need to delete them before and check the box to "use the same K2 ID"?
The custom field type "select" doesn't seem to migrate correctly to Joomla fields. It adds the field but not with the correct type, and it fails to move the corresponding data to it.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or solutions to these issues.
Thank you,
