Dynamic Action Plugin: JK64 Report Google Map R1 Show Directions

If you have installed this optional plugin, you can use it to add a dynamic action that requests directions and illustrates them on the map plugin region.

PRE-REQUISITE: to use Directions you must enable the Directions API on your Google Cloud Platform project. Read "Getting started" at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions to enable the Directions API.

Directions can alternatively be requested using your own JavaScript code but it's easier (and more future-proof) to use the Dynamic Action plugin.

All three parameters (Origin, Destination, and Travel Mode) must be provided using the same means - i.e. three page items, three expressions, etc.

jQuery Selector

JavaScript Expression

Specify a JavaScript expression to evaluate.

Static Value

Destination

Travel Mode

Specify how to derive the Travel Mode. The value must resolve to one of the following values (uppercase): DRIVING, WALKING, BICYCLING, or TRANSIT
