Pointee (EE 2.0) for ExpressionEngine
Pointee is an ExpressionEngine 2.0 Fieldtype that lets publishers log the x & y coordinates of a single click on an image.
If you work with custom maps, or need to integrate x & y coordinates to Flash, xml, css whatever... Then this addon might be for you.
This is a quick release and has been put through a narrow testing environment, so if you have some feedback, we'd love to hear it.
Update: We've just released a version for ExpressionEngine 1.6.8 too, grab it here.
Documentation
Installation
Download and extract the package and upload the folder 'pointee' to your /system/expressionengine/third_party/ directory
The fieldtype "Pointee" should appear in your list of options when creating a new field.
Usage
After selecting Pointee as your custom field, enter an url for the image you'd like to use as a map. Multiple maps/fields on the same publish page work fine.
The size of the image is up to you, Pointee should work with whatever size image you need and will log coordinates in pixels from the top left of the image.
When publishing, Pointee will also display a red marker on the point of contact, or the previously stored coordinates on the image on page load.
Displaying your x and y coordinates in your template:
If your Pointee field short name is 'map', display the x and y coordinates using the following parameters:
- {map show="x"}
- {map show="y"}
That's it!
Known Issues
-
For some reason on the publish page, the field formatting menu appears.
(We haven't figured out how to make this go away but be assured it makes no difference what the publisher chooses, it is stored and rendered in your template as plain text.) -
PHP notice if Pointee is the first field in your field group and you visit the add/edit fields page.
