The sfEasyGMap plugin provides helpers and an objet-oriented PHP abstraction to the Google Maps API.

It greatly eases the process of adding a Google Map and customising it in your symfony projects, without prior knowledge of the Google Maps API.

sfEasyGMapPlugin

The sfEasyGMap plugin provides helpers and an objet-oriented PHP abstraction to the Google Maps API to ease the process of adding a Google Map and customising it in your symfony projects.

Installation

• Install the plugin

  $ symfony plugin:install sfEasyGMapPlugin (Not tested)
  
  or in your plugins directory :
  
  $ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfEasyGMapPlugin sfEasyGMapPlugin 
  

• Get some Google Maps API keys for your production and development environments

  http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html
  

• Put the keys in your app.yml file

   all:
     google_maps_api:
       keys:
         dev:                     'ABQIAAAAMcio4BHojGWyeo4qphH4yhTGv8pFig_qdcIeIanIjQzecSm0lRThDMeOEbaNzhMsemaIKNBFH4d_bA'
         default:                 'ABQIAAAAR8dhgMmvaR96TE0zbrZpPhQkC0X2Qt_FPPKUNef1lx8wcSNN5RSh1f6S_Z1zYVlkP4P3z0Qc9kcaQQ'

• Optional: enable the sample module in your settings.yml: sfEasyGMapPlugin

      [php]
      all:
        .settings:
          enabled_modules:      [default, sfEasyGMapPlugin]
  

• Clear your cache

  $ php symfony cc
  

Examples

All samples are available in the sfEasyGMapPlugin module of the plugin

IMPORTANT ! The javascript in the samples will not work unless you put the js files in your web directory.

    $ ln -s ../plugins/sfEasyGMapPlugin/web web/sfEasyGMapPlugin

• Sample 1

  Add some markers on a map, using longitudes and latitudes

  • In the action:

    $this->gMap = new GMap();
    $this->gMap->addMarker(new GMapMarker(51.245475,6.821373));
    $this->gMap->addMarker(new GMapMarker(46.262248,6.115969));
    

  • In the template:

    <?php use_helper('Javascript','GMap') ?>
    
    <?php include_map($gMap,array('width'=>'512px','height'=>'400px')); ?>
    
    <!-- Javascript included at the bottom of the page -->
    <?php include_map_javascript($gMap); ?>
    

• Sample 2

  Geocode some addresses and open an info window if the user clicks on a marker

  • In the action:

    $this->gMap = new GMap();
    
    // some places in the world
    $addresses = array(
      'Graf-Recke-Strasse 220 - 40237 Düsseldorf',
      'Avenue des sports 01210 FERNEY-VOLTAIRE - FRANCE',
      '44 boulevard Saint-Michel, Paris',
      'Route Saclay 91120 Palaiseau',
      'Rämistrasse 101, Zürich'
    );
    
    foreach ($addresses as $address)
    {
      $geocoded_address = $this->gMap->geocode($address);
      $gMapMarker = new GMapMarker($geocoded_address->getLat(),$geocoded_address->getLng());
      $gMapMarker->addHtmlInfoWindow('<b>Address:</b><br />'.$address); 
      $this->gMap->addMarker($gMapMarker);
    }
    

  • In the template:

    <?php use_helper('Javascript','GMap') ?>
    
    <?php include_map($gMap,array('width'=>'512px','height'=>'400px')); ?>
    
    <!-- Javascript included at the bottom of the page -->
    <?php include_map_javascript($gMap); ?>
    

• Sample 3

  • change the map center location and the zoom level

  • change the zoom and movement controls used

  • store the markers' javascript objects in a javascript array

  • use a custom icon for the markers

  • bind event listeners to the markers linked to custom javascript functions

  • add custom property to the markers' javascript objects

  • In the action:

    // parameters: zoom level, lat, lng, options
    

    $this->gMap = new GMap( array( 'zoom'=>4, 'center_lat'=>45, 'center_lng'=>8, 'control'=>'new google.maps.SmallMapControl()' ) );

    // some places in the world
    $coordinates = array(          
      array(51.245475,6.821373),
      array(46.262248,6.115969),
      array(48.848959,2.341577),
      array(48.718952,2.219180),
      array(47.376420,8.547995)
    );
    
    // adds a variable "markers" defined on the global level
    $this->gMap->addGlobalVariable('markers','new Array()');
    
    // creates a custom icon for markers
    $gMapIcon = new GMapIcon(
      'nice_icon',
      '/sfEasyGMapPlugin/images/nice_icon.png',
      array(
        'width'=>18,
        'height'=>25,
        'info_window_anchor_x'=>9,
        'info_window_anchor_y'=>25
      )
    );
    
    // creates two custom event listeners 
    $gMapEvent1 = new GMapEvent(
      'mouseover',
      "document.getElementById('console_div').innerHTML = 'Mouse over marker number '+this.num;"
    );
    $gMapEvent2 = new GMapEvent(
      'mouseout',
      "document.getElementById('console_div').innerHTML = '';"
    );
    
    foreach ($coordinates as $key=>$coordinate)
    {
      // parameters: lat, lng, marker's javascript object's name, icon object
      $gMapMarker = new GMapMarker($coordinate[0],$coordinate[1],'markers['.$key.']',$gMapIcon);
      $gMapMarker->addHtmlInfoWindow('<b>Coordinates:</b><br />'.implode(', ',$coordinate));
      // will add a custom property to the marker's javascript object
      $gMapMarker->setCustomProperty('num',$key);
      // binds the event listeners to the marker
      $gMapMarker->addEvent($gMapEvent1);
      $gMapMarker->addEvent($gMapEvent2);
    
      $this->gMap->addMarker($gMapMarker);
    }
    

  • In the template:

    <?php use_helper('Javascript','GMap') ?>
    
    <?php include_map($gMap,array('width'=>'512px','height'=>'400px')); ?>
    
    Search on the map:
    <?php include_search_location_form() ?>
    <br />
    <br />
    <div id="console_div" style="font-size:large"></div>
    
    <!-- Javascript included at the bottom of the page -->
    <?php include_map_javascript($gMap); ?>
    

TODO

• make the javascript more compact
• correct javascript files that suppose that the map's javascript object is called 'map'
• add support for EncodedLines
• add support for custom zoom and move controls
