Hi together,
as this framework is the basis for the Geo Mashup plugin integrating Google Maps with WordPress I was playing around with the customization.
I found out, that since v3.4 of the GMaps API, there is a parameter called "MarkerOptions.optimized" which needs to be defined false upon using an animated PNG or animated GIF as a marker icon.
To achieve this, I propose to modify "js/mxn/mxn.googlev3.core.js" of the framework:
AFTER
options.shadow = new google.maps.MarkerImage(this.iconShadowUrl);
}
}
ADD
if(typeof(this.attributes['iconOptimized']) !== 'undefined') {
options.optimized = this.attributes['iconOptimized'] ? true : false;
}
This change allows users to define "iconOptimized: false" with marker options to be able to use aPNG/ aGIF files.
Hope this helps developing this framework further :-)
