Umbraco Package: Google Map Macro for the Rich Text Editor

First Umbraco Package!

OK, its simple, but we needed to let a client insert Google Maps into content areas via the Rich Text Editor in Umbraco.   Macro to the rescue!

Package: Google_Map_Macro_for_the_Rich_Text_Editor__1.0.zip

After installing the package, you should be able to insert a new Google Map in the Rich Text Editor by doing this:

1. Find your location in Google Maps.

google_package_1

2. Copy the link from the "Link" button on the far right above the map to the clipboard:

google_package_2

3. Go to the Rich Text Editor in the Umbraco admin area where the Google Map should be inserted.

4. Click the "Insert Macro" toolbar button google_package_4

5: Select the "Google Map" macro from the Insert Macro popup.

6. Set the width, height, and paste the link from step 2:

google_package

7. Save and publish and view the map in the web site.
