Developer

Requirements
- A working TNG installation. Automated installation has been tested on TNG Version 7.1.2.
- A backup of the TNG modules involved - see below.
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
Automated Installation
- Download the file from Downloads | Roger's Ramblings
- Extract the downloaded config file into your admin/mod_folder. You should end up with 1 files (google_maps_change_pin_legend_layout.cfg) and a folder (LiberationSans-Regular) that contains a font needed for this mod.
- If you have already installed the Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod you probably don't want to use this mod - it uses less placelevels than the Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod and so if you have made any changes to your place levels, some of them will be unused if this mod is installed.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the google_maps_change_pin_legend_layout.cfg config file.
TNG modules Involved
This mod modifies getperson.php, and adds a new file googlemaps/text_marker.php, and installs a TrueType font - LiberationSans-Regular into the googlemaps folder that is used to put the text on the pins.
In the event of a problem
- Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
- Or copy the backup versions getperson.php back to your site.

Side effects
- Happiness that your Maps are much more attractive :-)
- As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented. (Using the Mod Manager to remove the mod before the upgrade and re-installing the mod after the upgrade greatly simplifies this process).
