Hi DW,
I've been wokring on migrating some of our old websites from the Dealersearch module to the new Maps module, but there are just so many bugs/missing features that i'm on the verge of giving up.
To start with i have to say, that i have no interest in using the javascript and templates that DW provides (They don't fit my needs), i want to start with a clean template and build my own implementation with the tags that are available.
But where are all my tags?
When i configure the maps module i have a bounch of settings for width, height, zoomlevel, centering, click event and more, but when i write out my templatetags i only have width and height in seperat tags, the others settings are hidden inside a hardcode javascript block called @InitScript, which means that i have no way of using them if i don't use your implementation of the GoogleMap, all settings need to be rendered in their own tags!
Why do you mess ud my work?
Working with the tags i have access to, i can make a list of locations, but for some reason you injects your init script into the bottom of my template, creating javascript error and generally giving me a hard time. Never inject anything into my templates unless i asked for it!
You got this right in almost all your other modules now, so please fix it.
Note: As a workaround i can do:
<!-- <!--@InitScript--> -->
Our primary reason for migrating from Dealers search, is that we want our dealers to be AccessUsers. When working with B2B shops it makes good sense not to have everyting double so we just want our B2B logins, to be the datasource for our "Dealer search/Maps", and this module solves that issue.
But it's disappointing that it's so hard to customize if i don't want your standard implementation.
