Customizing markers based on variable in javascript












-1















I am trying to create a different markers based on a particular variable. There are three coordinates on my map, with and info window. Each coordinate has a different "Report type" (donation, request,disaster). I am trying to customize each coordinate to have a different marker based on the report type, but I am only able to create the same marker for all coordinates. Map



var map;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

function initialization() {
showAllReports();
}

function showAllReports() {
$.ajax({
url: 'HttpServlet',
type: 'POST',
data: { "tab_id": "1"},
success: function(reports) {
mapInitialization(reports);
},
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
alert("An AJAX error occured: " + status + "nError: " + error);
}
});
}

function mapInitialization(reports) {
var mapOptions = {
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, // Set the type of Map
};

// Render the map within the empty div
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),mapOptions);

var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds ();

$.each(reports, function(i, e) {
var long = Number(e['longitude']);
var lat = Number(e['latitude']);
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, long);

bounds.extend(latlng);

// Create the infoWindow content
var contentStr = '<h4>Report Details</h4><hr>';
contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Disaster' + ':</b>&nbsp' + e['disaster'] + '</p>';
contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Report Type' + ':</b>&nbsp' + e['report_type'] +
'</p>';
if (e['report_type'] == 'request' || e['report_type'] == 'donation') {
contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Resource Type' + ':</b>&nbsp' +
e['resource_type'] + '</p>';
}
else if (e['report_type'] == 'damage') {
contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Damage Type' + ':</b>&nbsp' + e['damage_type']
+ '</p>';
}
contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Reporter' + ':</b>&nbsp' +
e['reporter_id'] + '</p>';

contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Timestamp' + ':</b>&nbsp' +
e['time_stamp'].substring(0,19) + '</p>';
if ('message' in e){
contentStr += '<p><b>' + 'Message' + ':</b>&nbsp' + e['message'] + '</p>';
}

var icon = {
url: 'https://1adn3cp4l2-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Donation-plugins-for-WordPress1.jpg', // url
scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(40, 30), // scaled size
origin: new google.maps.Point(0, 0), // origin
anchor: new google.maps.Point(0, 0) // anchor
};

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
icon: icon,
customInfo: contentStr,

});


// Add a Click Listener to the marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
// use 'customInfo' to customize infoWindow
infowindow.setContent(marker['customInfo']);
infowindow.open(map, marker); // Open InfoWindow
});

});

map.fitBounds (bounds);

}


//Execute our 'initialization' function once the page has loaded.
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialization);
