How to Add Google Maps to Drupal Content



Hi Friends ,

In this post I am going to explain how to add Google Maps to Drupal Content. To accomplish this , following modules will be needed.

  • Addressfield :  A Drupal 7 field module to hold postal addresses, implementing a subset of the fields defined in the xNAL standard.
  • Addressfield_staticmap : This module can generate either of the 3 following as a block when placed on a content type that has an address field:

                   1) Google static map
                   2) Regular JS Google map that defaults to the static map if Javascript is disabled.
                   3) Mapquest static map

Download links are given below.

        • http://drupal.org/project/addressfield
        • http://drupal.org/project/addressfield_staticmap

For this, ctools module is also required.

       • http://drupal.org/project/ctools

After the installation , enable them. Now you have  to create a content using this address field module.For that follow the steps  as given below.

      • Go to Structure > Content types.
      • Create a new content type say “Test”.
      • Enter  “Address” as Label and “Postal Address ” from Dropdown “Type of data to store”.
      • Click Save.


Adding Content


       • Go to Content > Add  Content  > Test (here).
       • Provide the Title, description , Country ,State ,City, Zip Code, etc.

Configuration of address field


      • Go to Configuration > Address Field Static Map Block  in SYSTEM Block
      • Select the address field you have just created. In my case its “field_address” .
      • In Mapping API Select “Regular Google maps with fallback to Static map”.
      • Adjust Zoom level as per your requirement. Write  200x200 in image Size.
      • Click Save.

Placement of Block


      • Go to Structure > Blocks
      • Select proper place to  display  the block.
      • Click Save Blocks.




Now ,go to see how the created content looks with Google Map. It will look as image given below.

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i
