You can always change the order, just type in a number in the order box instead of using the arrows.

The error you posted before is coming from the mambot, so at least that part is not jReviews related. I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the google mambot.

Also, try putting the code directly in a content description area in the Joomla backend without using the wysiwyg editor and see if it works. Once you get it working then we can worry about putting it in the jReviews templates.

I got it working now

Problem was with the |address' '| field

If I put co-ordinates in it works, but if I use an address I get the error Sad

Did you try typing the address instead of using custom fields, just to check if it works like that? In many cases the problem users have is that they have enabled the click2search feature and that breaks the code.

I don't use the mambot myself, so I can't help you with that, sorry. Have you tried contacting the mambot developer or looking through their forums if they have one?

Hey All,

I think I have solved a few of the issues I have found on this site and the results seem pretty good.  I am using a combination of two plugins, they are: plugin_googlemap2 and       plugin_jw_tabs_slides.  The second plugin create tabs so you don't need the map to screw up your content and reviews.

Take a look at the results (only on my test server now)  http://test.mybusydays.com/content/view/107/37/

Here is what I have in com_content.html
Line 4:  {tab=Description and Reviews}

Line 33 or so:
{tab=Map of Address}
{mosmap address='{JR_ADDRESS}'}
{/tabs}

as you can see, I am using the address field also...seems to work...maybe this is a fix in the plugin.  I just installed the newest.  I hope this helps!

Great. I think the address parameter is new, which makes it so much easier. It would be great if you could create a new post on this board, with the links to the plugins and the code you are using, it will save others the trouble of having to go through the whole thread. It's important to point out that click2search cannot be enabled for the jr_address field or the bot will fail, if enabled it would have to be included like this:

Code:
{mosmap address='<patTemplate:var name="jr_address" modifier="strip_tags" modifierType="php />'}

Thanks!

I managed to get this workin great with an older version of Jreviews but have since upgraded to the full version and now it doesnt work

I place a UK post code as the {JR_ADDRESS} and now it it produces is a line of code where a map should be.
 
{mosmap etc.............}

Has anything changed iin the latest version?

Thanks

If you see the mosmap code then it means that the mambot is not processing it, which means that you have the googlemaps mambot running before the jReviews one. Check the ordering in the mambots list.

Excellent post with lots of useful information - thanks guys.
I'm using Joomla 1.0.13/jReviews 1.2.06 I/googlemaps plugin 2.9 - followed the steps and it works a dream...

One thing that confused me a bit, the googlemap plugin ver 2.9 has a host of configurable items, including things that you include in the line of code - height, width, API key etc. Does anyone know why it is required in the line of code, when it's also configurable from the mambot config page?

Thanks all, Steve

Is it required or optional? I would assume it's optional so you can override the mambot settings to have different settings for different places where you use the mambo.

Yup, did a little testing - you can use the mombot settings as a default, and remove some of the settings from the line of code (i.e. height, width, Googlemaps API etc)

Works well - thanks for the tip Alejandro

Edit: I forgot to include, my line of code now looks like...
Code:
{mosmap lat='{JR_LAT}'|lon='{JR_LON}'|zoom='3'|align='center'}
