This package contains the SOBI2 Plugin for Search Results Mapping. This plugin must be combined with the JMaps Module to actually provide mapping of search results. This package is intended for users who have a licensed copy of the JMaps Module, but who wish to extend its capabilities to mapping SOBI2 Search Results. By itself, this plugin will not provide mapping. If you do not have a licensed copy of the JMaps Module already, then consider purchasing one of the bundles that includes both this plugin and the JMaps Module. Those bundles are found below in the Related Products section. 

Please pay careful attention to the package you are choosing.

Note: SOBI2 is a Joomla Component which is not included with JMaps.

It must be downloaded and installed separately. To download SOBI2, please click here

This package includes the SOBI2 Search Results Mapping Plugin only. When this plugin is combined with the JMaps Module (SOLD SEPARATELY) then it provides all of the following mapping functionality:

1) SOBI2 Search Results - Put the search results from a SOBI2 query in any module position in Joomla!

When users look for entries in your SOBI2 directory, they can see them on a map as well! CorFun has long provided a SOBI2 Plugin that works inside the vCards Template to show SOBI2 Search Results on a Google Map. This plugin is still available, and is a good option for sites where the Search Results should be shown within the SOBI2 Template. The JMaps Module adds additional capabilities by being shown in a Joomla Module Position. This allows greater flexibility in positioning the Search Results without needing to change any CSS or other code. JMaps also can show entries in special color as featured items, and can show a star icon on the featured items. 

Featured entries look as shown here when rendered on a map if using the Star icon and also a different color option:

2) Map a custom XML file that you provide!

Create a custom XML file to use for mapping purposes. Realtors can use JMaps to show available properties put together from a remote database. Non-profits can show areas affected by disasters, or areas where they are operating. If you can think of something that needs to be shown on a map, then JMaps can help you out by letting you put your mapping results in a custom file and shown on any Joomla page.

3) Add an RSS or KLM feed file to your results!

If there is specific data that you would like to show along with your mapping results (from any of the options above), provide a URL to that feed and JMaps will create the map markers for you. Sell ads to businesses in your coverage area and have them appear along with mapped results from your directory or your site members. Whatever you can find a valid RSS or KLM feed for can be mapped! You can add the results to results from your own Database or custom XML file, or you can display a map based only on the RSS/KLM file feed.

This package only contains the SOBI2 Search Results Plugin!

As noted above, this package includes the SOBI2 mapping plugin. The Related Products below have packages which include this plugin and the JMaps Module. The JMaps Module's capabilities can be upgraded at any time by adding more plugins which can be purchased separately.

Note on Radius Search Plugin:

JMaps uses the search results generated by the SOBI2 Component. The Radius Search Plugin works great with JMaps to provide searching within a specified radius of a Postal or Zip Code. You may add the Radius Search Plugin at any time to your project, either before or after the implementation of JMaps.
