Lupusoru Razvan	Wednesday 16 December 2009 9:56:02 am Hi, I have this interractive map.It is built in java and needs to use PHP to import some data from MySQL.All examples i have seen are built using templates. I donn't need anything fancy.I only have this single page and nothing else. I tryed adding code between the 'literal' tags in the page editor, but the code is duplayed and i get an error like <script> tag not recognised. Thanks

Nicolas Pastorino	Monday 25 January 2010 1:34:40 pm Hi and welcome in the eZ Community, Resuscitating this slightly old topic, could you describe a bit more what your application would consist of ? What kind of data do you need to push to the interactive map ? How is the data represented in the backend (using the content engine or not, if yes what datatypes, etc..) ? Is data stored in eZ Publish at all ? Let us know, Cheers, -- Nicolas Pastorino Director Community - eZ Member of the Community Project Board eZ Publish Community on twitter: http://twitter.com/ezcommunity t : http://twitter.com/jeanvoye G+ : http://plus.tl/jeanvoye
Brandon Chambers	Monday 25 January 2010 3:12:04 pm Nicolas is right, the standard way of interacting/working with eZ is to use higher-level languages such as the template code and HTML. Although, you can create new modules and extensions which usually involve using PHP/JavaScript/XML for more technical interactions with eZ. Otherwise the functionality you need can probably be used with eZ Publish "right out of the box". Furthermore, I recently had a project in which I used the Google JavaScript API for converting a rough-sketch interaction you are talking about to a more elegant solution for a client. The pre-existing solution involved using a separate database to store business locations and their information (phoone number, street address, URL, etc). So the interaction model looks like this: > User enters City/State into search field and selects a distance radius in miles (it's an American-based client) > On submission, JavaScript function is called > Call Google API > Call PHP class for AJAX interaction (to populate map with location information) > PHP class queries database to retrieve data based on user input (calculates radius and whatnot as well) > Save information to XML object > return XML object tp JavaScript > Populate map with retrieved information This can be done using a simple template override and no template code as you asked.. Again, a more elaborate solution might involve the GMaps location object (an extension) with eZ Find. I think that would match the eZ Publish interaction model a bit closer, make your code more readable, as well as debugging much easier all because this solution would have a much clearer segmentation of code. Good luck and I hope this helps. Brandon Chambers [email protected] blog: http://blog.divdesigns.com Granite Horizon / http://granitehorizon.com

" That's very similar to my case... I have the picture but i don't know exactly where to start.. i mean, i have an ajax call using the GMaps API GDownload function: GDownloadUrl(url, function(...) ... the 'url' should be a php script that would retrieve information from database and return it in xml ... but how can I do it taking into account the ezPublish model... should the PHP be a class, where should it be located, and how can I interact with the database directly? thank you, Sergi.
