![]() ![]() # The root where the webalbum will be hosted Two properties have been added to the JAlbum project file: However, for the index pages the Google Maps code needs to retrieve a KML file from the location where the webalbum is hosted and therefore needs the exact address. Reason being that the page containing the Google Maps scripts that is used in the iframe may be at a different server/location then the webalbum. For a long time I was able to keep hardcoded addresses out of the solution, but in the end it became necessary to know the location at which the generated webalbum would be hosted. By including a couple of parameters (map width/height, coordinates, url of KML file) the contents of the map can be controlled by the page including the iframe.Īnother challenge was not including hardcoded addresses in the templates. The solution to this was to display the map in an iframe, this iframe is then included on the web album pages and because it is always the same page displayed in the iframe, it is possible to use 1 Google Maps API key. Not very practical, especially when you use a automated process to organize your photo's by date of subject like me. This key is bound to 1 directory and since most photo albums are organized in some form or directory structure that would require a new API key for each directory. When you sign up for the Google Maps API you get a API key that must be included in the pages that display a map. Using the Google Maps API and by tweaking the Chameleon skin this was pretty easy to accomplish.įirst challenge I had to solve was one related to Google Maps. Another feature I wanted was to have an overview of all photo locations on the index pages. The Chamelon skin already links to Google Maps, but in a separate pop-up window and I wanted to have the map info next to the photo's themselves. ![]() I'm using JAlbum to generate a website for my photo's and using the Chameleon skin you generate a decent website easily. It is shockingly easy to create something with it and I decided to integrate it into my webalbum. Always scroll to the bottom of the page for the download link.Finally found some time to play with Google Maps.
