[EHPweb] Google Maps (V3) HTTPS

[Eric M Martinez]

I added support in the Google Maps V3 widget "gmaps3" to use the newly  
available SSL version of the API. Here is how it works:

<?php
	$TITLE = 'Google Maps Page';
	$WIDGETS = 'gmaps3'; // This is the only required line to use a  
Google Map

	// Can specify version number. Probably should not do this. Optional.
	$GMAPS3_VERSION = 3;

	/**
	 * Name of callback function to execute when Google Map script loads.  
Setting this variable will force the
	 * script to load asynchronously and will also auto-detect the  
current protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) to ensure
	 * the correct version of the application is loaded.
	 *
	 * Optional.
	 */
	$GMAPS3_CALLBACK = 'init_map'; // Name of callback function to  
execute when google map script loads.

	/**
	 * Boolean flag to indicate you prefer your page to use the HTTPS  
version of the widget. Script will still load
	 * in-line (i.e. NOT asynchronously). Note: Specifying this in  
addition to GMAPS3_CALLBACK will have no
	 * effect.
	 *
	 * Optional.
	 */
	$GMAPS3_HTTPS = true;

	// Note: All GMAPS3_* variables must be set __BEFORE__ including the  
template.

	include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/template/template.inc.php';
?>


Current pages serving a Google Map will not need to be updated unless  
you want to start using SSL. Also, Google is only supporting SSL on  
version 3 of their API, consequently, if you want to use the new SSL  
support feature, you will need to use V3 of the API.

Thanks,
	~Eric.
