Plugin: GMapFP

Description

This plugin enables you to insert elements (one by one or by a selection on one or several categories) from GMapFP in your Newsletters.

You can also use this plugin to automatically include the newly created elements in an Auto-newsletter.

You can search in all your items and then click on one of the items to include it in your Newsletter.

If you own one of our commercial versions, you can download this plugin from our download area then install and publish it like a standard Joomla plugin.

The elements will look like this by default, and you can of course fully customize the way it is displayed:

Customize your element template

You can change the styles used for the articles title and the items area by editing the styles in your AcyMailing template.

You can also modify the way your article is displayed by creating your own template which will be used to render the file. Please follow those instructions, we don't recommend you to modify the plugin directly otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update AcyMailing.

Create the custom template as explained here, on the created file you can access to the element $varFields that contains all the needed data.

You can display:

• The item's Id: {id}

• The item's name: {nom}

• The description: {intro}

• The image: {imageHTML}

• The url of your item: {link}

Using all those variables, you can create your own template, for example:

<div class="acymailing_content"><h2 class="acymailing_title"><a href="{link}" name="gmapfp-{id}" target="_blank">{nom}</a></h2> {imageHTML}{intro}{address}<br />{contact}<br />{horaires_prix}<br />{readmore}</div>
