I really am a JS noob - I have never really used itbefore and am struggling using the marker clusterer google provide. I have rad the documentation
here is the code
<script src="http://localhost/wheredidmytweetgo/js/markercluster.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(
document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.setCenter(
new GLatLng( 56.65622649350222, -19.86328125), 2);
var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map);
function createMarker(point, text, title) {
var marker =
new GMarker(point,{title:title});
GEvent.addListener(
marker, "click", function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(text);
});
return marker;
}
<?php
foreach ($cluster_location as $location) {
?>
var marker = createMarker(
new GLatLng(<?php echo $location ?>),
'Marker text <?php echo $location ?>',
'Example Title text <?php echo $location ?>');
map.addMarker(marker);
<?php }
?>
}
}
cluster location is just an array of lat and longs - My code is working fine when just using the add.overlay however there are too many to make the map readable hence the need for clustering. I do load the clustering JS which I have I have included. I create the clusterer object and pass in map as defined.
var markers = [];
//create array
I know I can create a JS array and pass this in to
var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);
But I simply dont have the JS knowledge to create an array at this time (I intend to learn) and the Google documentation advises you can iterate and add one at a time using addMarker
Hi Tom - Thanksfor the info - I have tried doing what you advised and have came up with the below:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/wheredidmytweetgo/js/markercluster.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419);
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
'zoom': 13,
'center': center,
'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var markers = [];
<?php foreach ($cluster_location as $location) { ?>{
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({'position': <?php echo $location;?>});
markers.push(marker);
}
<?
}
?>
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>

But my map still loads empty. I'm using literally the most basic google provided code now and just loading my own markers in. I know my markers positioning should be okay because when I go to view my page source I can see
{
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({'position': 40.0994425,-74.9325683});
markers.push(marker);
});
for each marker. any more help would really be appreciated!
