Links not working

Hello, I have followed the PDF tutorial on how to add links to
locations within the map, but am having issues. The links only add the
# to the URL. I am working on a very old website which I didn't build
and am very frustrated. I'm not sure what else I can do. I set the
zoom to 10 but it seems to change on some reloads. Can anyone help me?
This was supposed to be a couple house job and is a giant headache.
Thanks for any help!

The link is FarmersMarketsTest1.html

<a href="#" onClick="wagmp_map_8_obj.getPointByAddress ('Broadway at
Battery Place, Manhattan, NY').marker.openInfoWindowHtml
(wagmp_map_8_obj.getPointByAddress('Broadway at Battery Place,
Manhattan, NY').address.infowindowtext);">Broadway at Battery Place,
Manhattan, NY</a>

your link should only pass the street address for the marker.

looking in the map js, the code of the Broadway at Battery Place marker is:

var address_2 = {
street: 'Broadway at Battery Place',
city: 'Manhattan',
state: 'NY',
zip: '10004',
country: 'USA',
infowindow: 'default',
infowindowtext: '<span style="font: 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;"><strong>Address:</strong><br />Broadway at Battery Place<br />Manhattan, NY 10004 USA</span>',
full: 'Broadway at Battery Place, Manhattan, NY, 10004, USA',
isdefault: false,
addressType: 'address',
loop: '',
latitude: '',
longitude: '',
markerStyle: 'Google Traditional (flat)',
markerColor: 'Desert Spice'
};


the link should only pass the street:
street: 'Broadway at Battery Place',

so the link should be:
<a href="#" onClick="wagmp_map_8_obj.getPointByAddress ('Broadway at
Battery Place').marker.openInfoWindowHtml
(wagmp_map_8_obj.getPointByAddress('Broadway at Battery Place').address.infowindowtext);">Broadway at Battery Place,
Manhattan, NY</a>

Thanks so much Jason, that worked perfectly. I wish the PDF had mentioned that information. I would have been past this HOURS ago. I guess I should have taken the "street address" instruction literally. Thanks again!

it does mention this in step 5:

  Replace the two locations where Address is bolded to reference the
street address for the marker location you wish the link to focus on.
Example: If the location I wanted my map to focus on was 8899
University Center Ln, this text would look as follows.
<a href="#" onClick="wagmp_map_1_obj.getPointByAddress
('8899 University Center Ln').marker.openInfoWindowHtml
(wagmp_map_1_obj.getPointByAddress('8899 University Center
Ln').address.infowindowtext);">8899 University Center Ln
</a>  

even the example only shows the street address.

Hi Jason, only about half the links on that page function correctly. For instance, the very first link doesn't work, but I copied what was input under "street" exactly from the javascript file. Can you see anything wrong with the broken links? Again, I appreciate the help. I was supposed to have this done hours ago. Thanks.

the links that are not working are because the Google geocoder is failing address lookup for those addresses. the links dont work because those address markers are not being added to the map.

the Google geocoder is not able to find the address for:
957 Route 5 & 20, Geneva, NY, 14456, USA

I tried following the tutorial and it did not work. I'm using the latest extensions and CS6 so I don't know if that may have any affect? I also noticed that the code line numbers in the tutorial do not match the code line numbers in the my files.

This is my modified link:

<?php $address_link = $row_events['address']; ?>
<a href="#event_more_info" class="moreInfo" onClick="wagmp_map_1_obj.getPointByAddress ('<?php echo $address_link;?>').marker.openInfoWindowHtml (wagmp_map_1_obj.getPointByAddress('<?php echo $address_link;?>').address.infowindowtext);"><strong>+more information</strong></a>

Here is a link to the page:

davefrackenpohl.com/calendar/test.php

try using this instead:




<?php $address_link = $row_events['address']; ?>
<a href="#event_more_info" class="moreInfo" onClick="wagmp_map_1_obj.openWindowByAddress('<?php echo $address_link; ?>');"><strong>+more information</strong></a>

Hey Jason,

tried your suggestion but I am getting the same outcome. The map is not focusing and recenter on the marker after I click the link.

in the webassist/google_javascript/wagmp_map_1.php file edit the following line:

function WAMapPoint(theMarker, theAddress, theIcon, point, map) {

to:

function WAMapPoint(theMarker, theAddress, theIcon, theInfoWindow, point, map) {

and this line:

return WAMapPoint(this.markers[x],this.addresses[x],this.icons[ x], this.points[x], this.obj);

to:

return WAMapPoint(this.markers[x],this.addresses[x],this.icons[x], this.infowindows[x], this.points[x], this.obj);

I think you may have an older version of Design Extender that is causing the incorrect code, The current version is 1.1.0. if you have a previous version, make sure to uninstall it from the extension manager before installing the newer one.
