Multiple Pages/Maps in one directory

I would like to setup 4-html pages in the same directory. Each to have their own unique map with a single point.

Since I know the GMP process stores everything in the google_javascript subdir it creates in the dir with the html page, how do I get the 4-pages to not overlay this code/directory?

Each page will have a unique js file created for it in the google_javascript directory.


For the first map, a file named wagmp_map_1.js will be created. The second map will create a file named wagmp_map_2.js for each map the number will increment.

Great. Thanks. I guess I should have just tried it.

Well, I did just try this and it doesn't work.

Every map after the first one, does not load.

After creating the second page with a new map, in the same directory, the google_javascript directory now has the _2 file and the wagmp_maps.js file is changed to:

window.onunload = function() {
GUnload();
}

/*wagmp_onload*/
if(window.wagmp_map_2) wagmp_map_2();
if(window.wagmp_map_1) wagmp_map_1();

The second page with a map does not load the map.

Go here for the first page that works:
Cracker_Barrel_Breakfast.htm

Then the second page, that does not work:
Cracker_Barrel_Breakfast_1208.htm

Yes, I triple-checked that the google_javascript directory has been uploaded/refreshed and I cleared my browser cache.

I can see the map on both of those links...one 4 chester one for mech.

I just fixed it with my changes (see following post).

That change may have worked, but is not necessary, there is something else going wrong.

I have created plenty of maps in the same site and had them work correctly, I can guarantee you that there is not a problem in tool that is causing this.


To get to the real cause of the problem, I would need to be able to see the issue in the browser.

Well, we reworked all the pages by hand.

How is it supposed to work? Should the process create multiple "_maps" files that point to the individual "map_?" files?

Is there supposed to be multiple "if(window.wagmp_map_?) wagmp_map_?();" statements in the "_maps" file?

I am not a Javascript coder so I don't understand the language, but aren't these statements supposed to test if a file exists and then run/load it? If so, how does it know which one to load.

If needed, I can create a new set of files/maps in a different directory, since these pages have gone live (another helper modified the code to make it so that we don't have to have multiple pages - it just switches the map - a cool idea for the next release of GMP).

Pro maps will create one wagmp_maps.js file. this will have a line in it for each map that is created.

For each map that is created, it will create a wagmp_map_<int>.js file. <int> is a variable that will start at 1 and increment for each map you create.

On the page, to display the map, there will be a div created as the map place holder:
<div id="wagmp_map_<int>" style="width: 300px; height: 300px;"></div>


the id of the div "id="wagmp_map_<int>"" along with the JS include line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="google_javascript/wagmp_map_<int>.js">/*wagmp*/</script>

control which map is loaded.


The code in the wagmp_maps.js:
if(window.wagmp_map_<int>) wagmp_map_<int>();


is testing for the div ID on the page, and loading the corresponding map.

Well, I figured out how to make it work, but you guys need to fix it.

I created a separate wagmp_maps_2.js file with a single entry for the _map file it needs:
if(window.wagmp_map_2) wagmp_map_2();

and changed the page to point to this "maps" file.

Now it works.
