I have created a _layout.twig file which acts as my base to hold content on the page -> _layout.twig:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ craft.app.language }}">
<head>
<meta content="IE=edge" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>
{{ siteName }}
</title>
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, viewport-fit=cover"
name="viewport" />
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/leaflet.css"
integrity="sha512-puBpdR0798OZvTTbP4A8Ix/l+A4dHDD0DGqYW6RQ+9jxkRFclaxxQb/SJAWZfWAkuyeQUytO7+7N4QKrDh+drA=="
crossorigin="" />
{% includeCssFile siteUrl ~ 'assets/css/style.css' %}
</head>
<body>
{% include '_includes/nav' %}
<div>
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
<footer class="main-footer">
<div class="footer-wrapper">
{{ exampleInformation.exampleDescription|markdown }}

</p>
</div>
</footer>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/leaflet.js" integrity="sha512QVftwZFqvtRNi0ZyCtsznlKSWOStnDORoefr1enyq5mVL4tmKB3S/EnC3rRJcxCPavG10IcrVGSmPh6Qw5lwrg==" crossorigin=""></script>
{% includeJsFile siteUrl ~ 'assets/js/scripts.js' %}
</body>
</html>
Through the control panel in craft CMS I created an entry that contains a table that has a series of coordinates (longitude and latitude values) and a lightswitch to toggle it on or off, along with some other general information for each entry that is created e.g. title, date, image, etc. on a separate tab.
The _entry.twig page extends _layout.twig -> _entry.twig:
{% extends '_layout' %}
{% set featureImage = {
mode: 'crop',
width: 600,
height: 600,
quality: 90
} %}
{% block content %}
<div class="entry__container">
<div class="entry__wrapper">
<div class="entry__title">
<h1>
{{ entry.title }}
</h1>
</div>
<div class="entry__image">
{% if entry.featureImage|length %}
{% for image in entry.featureImage.all() %}
<img src="{{ image.getUrl(featureImage) }}"
alt="{{ image.title }}" />
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
</div>
<div>
{% for block in entry.exampleContent.all() %}
<div class="entry__description">
{% if block.type == 'text' %}
{{ block.text }}
{% elseif block.type == 'image' %}
{% for image in block.image.all() %}
<img src="{{ image.url }}" alt="{{ image.title }}" />
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{# display post categories #}
{% if entry.exampleCategories|length %}
<div class="entry__category">
<p>
Categories
</p>
{% for category in entry.exampleCategories.all() %}
<a href="{{ category.url }}">{{- category.title -}}</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endif %}
{# display table info #}
{% if entry.lotInfo|length %}
<div class="entry__coordinate">
<ul>
{% for row in entry.lotInfo %}
{% if row.createNewEntry == '1' %}
<li>
<div data-latCoordinate="{{ row.latitude }}"
id="latCoordinate">
{{ row.latitude }}
</div>,<div data-lngCoordinate="{{ row.longitude }}"
id="lngCoordinate">
{{ row.longitude }}
</div>
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</div>
{% endif %}
{# end table info #}
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
I was able to put together this small section in _entry.twig which looks at the table and if the lightswitch is set to 1, it outputs the corresponding latitude and longitude values in the row:
{# display table info #}
{% if entry.lotInfo|length %}
<div class="entry__coordinate">
<ul>
{% for row in entry.lotInfo %}
{% if row.createNewEntry == '1' %}
<li>
<div data-latCoordinate="{{ row.latitude }}"
id="latCoordinate">
{{ row.latitude }}
</div>,<div data-lngCoordinate="{{ row.longitude }}"
id="lngCoordinate">
{{ row.longitude }}
</div>
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</div>
{% endif %}
{# end table info #}
These values are currently displaying on the front end entry page which will show the coordinates depending on which lightswitch toggle is active- which has allowed me to ensure that it is pulling the correct coordinates corresponding to the correct information.
Now, I have an external js file linked which lives in local/craft/assets/js/*.js and contains this script -> scripts.js:
//Set initial map view
var map = L.map('map', { scrollWheelZoom: false }).setView(
[50.4205, -104.52],
15,
)
//Initialize the tilemap
L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
maxZoom: 19,
minZoom: 14.5,
attribution:
'© <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
}).addTo(map)
// Set location array
var locations = [{ lat: 'SOME LATITUDE COORDINATE', lng: 'SOME LONGITUDE COORDINATE' }]
function addToMap(locationArray) {
//Iterate through array object
;[].forEach.call(locationArray, function (location) {
var marker = L.marker([location.lat, location.lng]).addTo(map)
})
}
//Show markers
addToMap(locations)
Currently, this script will create a leaflet/osm map and then based on:
// Set location array
var locations = [{ lat: '(SOME LATITUDE VALUE)', lng: '-(SOME LONGITUDE VALUE') }];
will output a marker to the map (currently only works if I manually insert lat and long coordinates) which lives in my index.twig template file -> index.twig:
{% extends '_layout' %}
{% set posts = craft.entries.section('example').all() %}
{% block content %}
<div class="background-test">
<div id="map"></div>
</div>
<div class="main-container">
<div class="main-wrapper">
<h1 class="example-title">
Some Title
</h1>
<div class="category-list">
{% set entries = craft.entries.limit(null) %}
{% for category in craft.categories.relatedTo(entries).order(
'title asc'
) %}
{% set entryCount = entries.relatedTo(category).total() %}
<a href="{{ category.url }}">
{{- category.title -}}<span class="count-number">({{ entryCount }})</span>
</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% include '_includes/listing' with {
posts: posts
} only %}
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
What would be the best way to somehow use the
{{ row.latitude }}, {{ row.longitude }}
variables from my _entry.twig file in my existing scripts.js file to place a marker(s) on the map which lives on the index.twig page? I am still new to Craft and more so with Twig so I am still in the process of learning these things.
My folder structure is:
/assets
/css
/js
scripts.js
/templates
/includes
/blog
_category.twig
_entry.twig
index.twig
_layout.twig
index.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Ok some pointers first, you can add multiple
data-*attributes to one element, alsoid's need to be unique. So I'd suggest you'd swap up the twig template to the following:Then we need to adjust your javascript to be able to add multiple dots on the map.
First remove the following line
As you've defined the pointers in
htmlwe just need a selector that selects all the elements where thedata-*attributes are defined in
