Question

I like to hide/view a group of markers in a map with the plugin gomap() like here: http://www.pittss.lv/jquery/gomap/solutions/group.html

for now I realized it with hiding/viewing only one marker:

$(function() { 
    $("#map_canvas").goMap({
        latitude: 46.839, 
        longitude: 9.285, 
        zoom: 15 ,
        scaleControl: true,
        maptype: 'ROADMAP',
        markers: [{  
            latitude: 46.839, 
            longitude: 9.285,  
            id: 'biketour1', 
            group: 'bike',
            icon: 'pic/Kategorien/icon_bike.png', 
            html: { 
                content: 'Das ist die Biketour1', 
                popup:false
            }
        },{ 
            ...
            } 
        }], 
    }); 
    });

$("#bike-check").click(function() {  
        $.goMap.showHideMarker('bike');  
    });

Can you explain how I can realize the hiding/viewing for a group? I already tried it with class but this isn’t working…

update:

$(".parentcheck").click(function() { 
var group = $(this).attr("id");

switch (group) {
    case "bike-check":
        showhidemarker("bike");
    break;
    case "event-check":
        //and so on
    break;
}
});



/*! show / hiding markergroup
    *
    * @ groupid Group id string
    * @ true  Optional boolean to set the visibility to a specific value. If omitted, markers will toggle.
*/
function showhidemarker(groupid){
    for (var i in $.goMap.markers) {
        $.goMap.showHideMarker($.goMap.markers[i], false); 
        console.log("it works");
    }
    $.goMap.showHideMarkerByGroup(groupid, true);
}

here the html (by clicking on the checkbox, the markers should be visible or not)

...
    <ul>
      <li class="checkbox">
          <input id="bike-check" class="parentcheck" name="parentcheck" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="Bike" />
          <p>Bike</p>
      </li>
      <li class="checkbox">
           <input id="event-check" class="parentcheck" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="Events" />
           <p>Events</p>
       </li>
   </ul>
...

the problem is, that this method: $.goMap.showHideMarkerByGroup(groupid, true);
is not working as it should.

The marker from event dissapears by clicking on the checkbox for the bike – but by clicking on checkbox bike the marker from bike should dissappear!

What is wrong?

got it 🙂

var categories = {
        "bike-check": { 
            "groupID": "bike", 
            "isVisible": true
        },
        "event-check": {
            "groupID": "event", 
            "isVisible": true
        }
    };

$(".parentcheck").click(function() { 

    var id = $(this).attr("id");

    categories[ id ].isVisible = !categories[ id ].isVisible;
    showhidemarker( categories[ id ].groupID,categories[ id ].isVisible  );

});
function showhidemarker(groupid,show){
    $.goMap.showHideMarkerByGroup(groupid, show)
}
