Question

Okay I’ve read through the plugin comments and the docs as well and I have yet to come up with an answer as to how to do this. Here’s my problem I want to use the :info_window_tabs and the :icon option, but I don’t know what format to pass my information in. According to the documentation the following code should be correct. Here’s my code:

        @mapper.overlay_init(GMarker.new([map.lat, map.lng],         :title => map.name,         :info_window_tabs => [             {:tab => 'HTML', :content => @marker_html},              {:tab => 'Attachments', :content => 'stuff'}],         :icon => {                 :image => '../images/icon.png'                  })) 

The readme and documentation can be viewed here.

And the relevant ruby file that I am trying to interact with, including the author’s comments, can be viewed here.

I have tried the #rubyonrails channel in IRC as well as emailing the author directly and reporting an issue at GitHub. It really is just a question of syntax.

Thanks!

Okay, so I finally got this figured out. Here’s how you do it; :icon accepts a GIcon variable and :info_window_tabs accepts an array of GInfoWindowTabs. Here is how you would declare each with the plugin.

Declare GIcon

    @mapper.icon_global_init(GIcon.new(:image => '../images/civil.png',        :icon_anchor => GPoint.new(0,0),           :shadow => '../images/shadow.png',        :shadow_size => GSize.new(37,32),        :info_window_anchor => GPoint.new(9,2)), 'civil_icon')      @civil_icon = Variable.new('civil_icon') 

Declare GInfoWindowTab

    @tab1 = GInfoWindowTab.new('Tab 1 Label', 'HTML for inside of tab1')     @tab2 = GInfoWindowTab.new('Tab 2 Label', 'HTML for inside of tab2')      @window_tabs = [@tab1, @tab2] 

Then in your GMarker declaration just do the following:

    @mapper.overlay_init(GMarker.new([map.lat, map.lng],              :title => map.name,             :icon => @civil_icon,             :max_width => 300,             :info_window_tabs => @window_tabs)) 

And you’re done.
