    <a href="http://maps.google.co.in/maps?q=Tiriyos&gl=in&hl=en&sll=13.008237,80.193329&sspn=0.206059,0.363579&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=5721197682818793762&hq=Tiriyos&hnear=&ll=12.948405,80.137217&spn=0.006441,0.011362&z=17" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a>

I expect to display the google map on screen but only iframe codes are displayed

How to solve this…

Answer 1

In php

<?
$google_map_link = html_entity_decode($google_map_code);
$smarty->assign('google_map_link', $google_map_link);
?>

In HTML

<div>
    {$google_map_link}
</div>

I had used html_entity_decode to decode google maps iframe code and displayed in smarty. This is easiest way to display google maps in smarty.

I may help some one else
