- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to make it easy for visitors to your Drupal site to get directions to a location via Google Maps? There’s a module for that.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created in Feb 2021 by Christopher Martin (ccjjmartin), though recent releases are by Allan Chappell (generalredneck)
- Versions available: 1.0.1, compatible with Drupal ^8.8 ^9 || ^10 ^11
- Maintainership
- Minimally maintained, Maintenance fixes only
- Security coverage
- Test coverage
- Documentation? Not even a README
- Number of open issues: 1 open issue, not a bug
- Usage stats:
- 26 sites
- Module features and usage
- The module provides a new field formatter, so you can install it and then update a view mode to use Geofield Directions. Now your content display will include a link to get directions
- You can figure the text of the link, whether the link should open in a new tab, the magnification of the destination map, and more
- The module also includes token support, so you can dynamically include things like the name of the location in the link text
- I think the only downside I can see is that because this is implemented as a formatter, you have to choose the directions link OR a map, where I could foresee sites wanting to show both
