Figure 4-6. Changing the map display

In the “Map” drop-down, select “Drupal user groups.” Click the “Apply (all displays)” button to save.

Click the “Save” button on the top right to save the view and create the map display.

On the right of the page is a “view page” button. Click this to view the map. It should look something like Figure 4-7. You can see an example of this online.

Figure 4-7. Completed map of Drupal user groups

If you click on the marker for one of the Drupal user groups, you will see a pop up open with the name of the group and its description. If the person adding the information has entered a long description, the pop up will be really wide and might go off the edge of the map, as shown in Figure 4-8. If you want a long description, it is possible to make the pop up narrower using CSS. Alternatively, the description can be truncated in the View configuration. Edit the view that contains the data layer at admin/structure/views/view/drupal_groups/edit. Under the “Fields” section, click on “Content: Body (Body).” Expand the “Rewrite results” section. Tick the “Trim this field to a maximum length” checkbox. In the “Maximum length,” enter 60 (which will be 60 characters). Leave all other options as their defaults. Click the “Apply (all displays)” button to save. Click the “Save” button on the top right again.
