In Tiki 7 we started to move from GoogleMaps (GMap) to OpenStreetMaps, respectively OpenLayers, which offers a GoogleMap layer. Latest since Tiki 13 we are using only OpenLayer (OpenStreetMap) and step b step remove(d) ll code from old MaServer and GMap.

Please visit the following pages, if you want to use Maps in Tiki:

Panoramio

Other similar features (which also Google Maps) could be introduced in your Tiki installation.

For instance, Panoramio, a photo-sharing community using Google Maps ("Discover the world through satellite photos" - http://www.panoramio.com).

This kind of simple feature could included through creating and using those two files in your tiki installation:

tiki-panoramio.php
Copy to clipboard
<?php
include 'tiki-setup.php';

$default_lon = '2.338';
$default_lat = '48.89';
$default_zoom = '3';
$default_kind = '2';

if (isset($_REQUEST['lon'])) { $lon = preg_replace('/[^0-9\.-]/','',$_REQUEST['lon']); }
else { $lon = $default_lon; }
if (isset($_REQUEST['lat'])) { $lat = preg_replace('/[^0-9\.-]/','',$_REQUEST['lat']); }
else { $lat = $default_lat; }
if (isset($_REQUEST['zoom'])) { $zoom = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$_REQUEST['zoom']); }
else { $zoom = $default_zoom; }
if (isset($_REQUEST['kind'])) { $kind = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$_REQUEST['kind']); }
else { $kind = $default_kind; }

$smarty->assign('lon',$lon);
$smarty->assign('lat',$lat);
$smarty->assign('zoom',$zoom);
$smarty->assign('kind',$kind);

$smarty->assign('mid','tiki-panoramio.tpl');
$smarty->display('tiki.tpl');
?>
