Map Markers

USING ALTERNATE ICONS IN MAPS

Explanation

When you create a map it inserts code into your page using the <googlemap> begin tag and the </googlemap> end tag. By default the maps use those teardrop shaped icons. To use different icons, you have to add a few parameters to the <googlemap> begin tag or use full labels for each individual marker.

If you would like changes to existing markers or custom markers, please /chat Mayanah.

Figuring out the parameter for the icon you want

A full list can be found at http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale5/images/markers/

There are a few different types of icons with a few different colors. The icons do have a naming convention. They all start with the name marker.png To use other types of icons this is the format (without the square brackets): marker[TYPE][COLOR][INDICATOR].png

Here is a table of the current available icons:

Simplified Use of Sets

If you'd like to use just one set of markers you'll need to add the following code to your <googlemap> begin tag:

icon="images/markers/marker.png" icons="images/markers/marker{label}.png" iconsize="32x32" iconanchor'"9x32" iconlabels=" ''the list of identifiers goes here: ie. A,B,G,T,fish,bee,"

It actually goes in the tag, so it will look something like this: <googlemap icon="ETC, ETC"> You can also remove any of the iconlabels that you are not using. The icon= tag, icons=, and shadow= tags are only needed if you are using one set of custom tags for the whole map.
