Map management: create maps with your points of interest and show them on any page

Guide for portal administrators who place offices, routes or places of a destination on an interactive map.

Basic concepts

What map management is

From Content (CMS) › Maps you create maps with your own points of interest (markers): each one with its position, its image and a text in each language. You then insert the map on any page with dynamic content.

A map = title + list of markersThe title identifies the map in the panel. Each marker is a point on the map with latitude, longitude, image, title and content; when clicked, the visitor sees its information.
ConceptWhat it determines
TitleName of the map in each language.
MarkerPoint of interest on the map.
Latitude / LongitudeExact position of the marker, in decimal degrees.
Marker title / contentInformation shown for the point, in each language.

ImportantThe map is not published by itselfCreating the map does not show it on the website: insert it on a page with the Maps module of dynamic content.
Some texts appear in SpanishWith the panel in English, some titles (such as «Nuevo mapa» or «Editar mapa»), the notices and the confirmation messages are still shown in Spanish. The recreations in this manual reproduce them as they appear.

Guidelines

Best practices

Clear titles

Give the map a title that says what it contains («Our offices»): you will see it when choosing it in dynamic content.

Short information

In the marker content, the address, opening hours or one sentence with a link is enough.

Light images

Use small, horizontal photos so the point's information loads quickly.

Check on the website

After saving, open the page that contains the map and check the position of each point.

Before publishing
  • Map title in all languages.
  • Each marker has the correct latitude and longitude.
  • Title and content of each marker translated.
  • The number in the Markers column matches the planned points.
  • The map is inserted on the page with dynamic content.

Common issues

The map does not appear on the website.It has to be inserted on a page with the Maps module of dynamic content.
A point appears in the wrong place.Check that latitude and longitude are not swapped, that they use a decimal point and that the sign is correct.
In English the marker does not show its text.That language tab is empty. Expand the marker, open the tab and type the translation.
The search shows no results.Clear the Search text: the filter stays applied even if you change page.
