Map mashup links

[mhowell]

Is there a way to have the bubble on a Yahoo map stay up when you mouse over it? I am trying to create a link to another page from the map. If that can be done, can the pin be linked?

Hi,

To get the bubble staying up, you had better use Google map so when you click on the icon it will keep the bubble open. For Yahoo map it also should work however sometimes even when you click on the icon itself the bubble does not stay open!

To display a link in the bubble you should modify the HTML block in the results page where you have the code as:

[@field:Description]

Whatever you put instead of [@field:Description] will appear in the bubble, so for example you could alter that line as:

LINK

and a link will appear in the bubble redirecting user to that URL.

Thanks for the info. I have to use Yahoo and found out that currently the api does not allow the bubble to stay up when you mouse over it.

As of September 2013, Yahoo! terminated their free Maps Web Services, and as a result, Yahoo! map mashups are no longer supported. If you are currently using Yahoo! Maps in your existing mashups, Caspio has a FAQ for upgrade instructions: https://howto.caspio.com/faq/map-mashup/why-did-my-yahoo-map-mashup-stop-working/

Hi @mhowell,

If you want to stay the mark/bubble  then I suggest that you change your bubbleOpenType to "2" in the Map code where you deploy it:
'bubbleOpenType': '2',

 

And for adding links and image, you can add it in the line of code where the [@field: Description] is located.

I hope this helps
