Installation

Download and copy this repository to you plugin folder: /site/plugins/kirby-map

Configuration

Kirby Map uses Mapbox for geolocation and map view. For internal purposes, a default token is already set. You probably want to replace that for your specific use-case.

To use Mapbox on your website, create your very own access token and set it in your config file: /site/config/config.php

return [
  'microman.map.token' => 'YOUR-TOKEN'
];

Geolocation field

Here’s an example how to use the geolocationg field in your blueprint:

myGeoLocation:
  label: My Geolocation
  type: geolocation
  default:
    name: "Berlin"
    Lat: 13.38333
    Lng: 52.51667

How to use the geolocation field in your template

<?php $mylocation = $page->myGeoLocation()->toLocation() ?>

Name: <?= $mylocation->name() ?>
Latitude: <?= $mylocation->lat() ?>
Longitude: <?= $mylocation->lng() ?>

Map block

With the Map block, you can set up your map with a live preview. To add this block to your blueprint, simply add a blocks field:

myContent:
  type: blocks
  fieldsets:
    - maps

To customize the default block blueprints, copy the two files located in /site/plugins/kirby-map/blueprints/blocks/ to your blocks blueprint folder: /site/blueprints/blocks

Markers

You can add as many markers as you want right from within your map block. Try to place your marker in the visible preview.

How to use the map block in your template

The map will be rendered inside your block field.

By default, the Block outputs an open source Mapbox instance.

If you want to use the Google Maps JavaScript API copy and rename /site/plugins/kirby-map/lib/examples/google-maps.php to site/snippets/blocks/maps.php

Don’t forget to replace [YOUR-API] with your Google-API in the last line.
