[symfony-users] Re: Easy gmap plugin icon

2009-11-27 Thread Steve Sanyal
Thanks, Fabrice.

I believe I'm at an older version of the plugin (tag 1.0.4) so the
sample code won't work for me.  But I was able to get it working in my
version without too much trouble after digging through the code.

I'll look at updating the plugin to the newest version when I can.

Cheers,
Steve

 Hi Steve,

 I had not seen that you had posted here before writing me an email.

 It is actually easy to customise an icon, the sample 6 shows you how
 to do 
 it:http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfEasyGMapPlugin/branches/v3/m...

 Alexandre, your comment is very general and could be interpreted
 negatively. Yes plugins sometimes do not correspond exactly to
 specific needs, but I think everybody here are busy people and those
 who contribute already make a big time investment for the community.
 And I personally do not ask for more when I use a plugin : if the
 contribution is not perfect but open-source, I have the freedom to
 enhance it, which is great. However some plugins even make the effort
 to be neutral enough so that you don't need to break them to modify
 their behaviours. That is what we try to do in the development of the
 sfEasyGMapPlugin, refusing good contributions which are unfortunately
 too specific. And there is even a cool and broad range of samples
 thanks to Vincent Guillon, who added new ones just a few weeks ago!

 So my conclusion is: when somebody is struggling with a plugin, don't
 assume the plugin is old and unmaintained, maybe the person just did
 not read the documentation. Did you Steve ? :-)

 Cheers,

 Fabrice

  If you want more than the plugin, 2 solutions :

  Contact the contributor to become a developer
  Create your own plugin (personal/public)

   Hi,

   I love the easygmapplugin.  I've just been trying to figure out how
   to get a different icon than the default red marker.  I don't need
   anything fancy, just another colour.  Basically what I have is a map
   with a bunch of markers with locations relative to a set of
   coordinates.  I'd just like to have the reference coordinate marker be
   a different colour.  Is that possible?

   Thanks,
   Steve
