Google Maps Visualization. I can?t get details from icons

[latalatina]

Hello,

I have build a Google maps visualization and it?s working in the way i can see all pointers/icons in map, but when i click nothing appears. I am looking for click on a map icon and detais will appear in a "lightbox" as usual on this kind of situations...so how can i enable view details on a map?

Thanks!

You have to put your information (may include placeholders and HTML) into the bubble template.

Thank you as usual troester!! It works like a charm

Although this is resolved, here's some additional detail for others (like myself) who need a bit more detail than the above to go up the early Fabrik learning curve -- "where to input what to get what kind of result"

For example, if we had a table name of locations, "MySiteTable" with 4 elements that we wanted to reference in the map marker bubble: LocationName, LocationCity, LocationState and LocationCountry

This entered into the 'bubble template' field would display the values of the map marker that was clicked on in the bubble:

{MySitetable___LocationName}
{MySitetable___LocationCity}
{MySitetable___LocationState}
{MySitetable___LocationCountry}

*note that there are 3 underscores between the table and element names.

Also see Placeholders wiki for more info, but it's a little light on syntax usage options / examples

If we then wanted a link to the full details page in the bubble, adding a line like this one at the end would do it:

[I]<a href="index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=details&formid=2&rowid={rowid}&Itemid=120">Details</a>[/I]

See attached screenshots as example.

Note that the details and form links are already available as special placeholders, see

... specifically {fabrik_view} and {fabrik_view_url}, which are the full link tag and url tot he detail view, respectively.
