Adding a Pathed Google Map Link to the Linkbit Drop-Down Menu ~ Using Custom Fields

[NashChristian]

This is a port of this mod for vB4. To add a pathed "View Google Map" to the linkbit drop down menu. This uses custom fields for the address information, which must be setup in advance.

In the 'adv_links_linkbit' template, on approximately line 68, directly BELOW this code:

PHP Code:

<li><a href="showlink.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=goto&amp;l={vb:raw link.linkid}&amp;linkurl={vb:raw link.linkurl_string}" target="_blank"<vb:if condition="$show['nofollow']"> rel="nofollow"</vb:if>>{vb:rawphrase view_site}</a></li> 


ADD THIS CODE:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$link['field1'] AND $link['field2'] AND $link['field3']"><li><a href="http://local.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q={vb:raw link.field1}<vb:if condition="$link['field11']">+Suite+{vb:raw link.field11}</vb:if>+{vb:raw link.field2}+{vb:raw link.field3}+{vb:raw link.field4}" target="_blank"<vb:if condition="$show['nofollow']"> rel="nofollow"</vb:if>>View Google Map</a></li></vb:if> 


Of course you will need to change the custom field numbers, to match the ones you use in your admincp > vba links directory > custom fields > list.

Enjoy!
