12. How to display some data in a popup window when a user moves the mouse over a region?
Open the locator_map.xml in any text editor and find the section of the region you want to display a popup for. Find the <comment> section. Type the desired text within this tag as shown below:
... <state> <id>7</id> <name>Michigan</name> <link></link> <comment>Any text</comment> <color_map>0x7798BA</color_map> <color_map_over>0x0054A6</color_map_over> <frame></frame> <image></image> </state> ...
<comment>Any text</comment>
If you need to put in multiple lines of text, simply hit Enter after each line:
... <comment>Multiline text sample Line 2 Line 3 </comment> ...
Additionally, you may display an image in the popup window. Here are the step-by-step:
1. Choose a picture you want to show. The image must be in JPG format, no more than 64x64 pixels.
2. Upload that picture to your website.
3. In the locator_map.xml find the <image> tag and put the URL of the uploaded image there:
... <state> <id>7</id> <name>Michigan</name> <link></link> <comment>Any text</comment> <color_map>0x7798BA</color_map> <color_map_over>0x0054A6</color_map_over> <frame></frame> <image>photo.jpg</image> </state> ...
Don’t forget to save XML and upload it back to your website after any changes you made.
