  • Pro Field will use the map link provided
  • Pro Field first will use the map link provided. If not found, will attempt the creation of the link automatically (useful when a contact address cannot be created automatically and we can provide a link instead to make sure the address is linked to a map)
Auto map params Additional parameters that can be used to modify the automatic map’s output (like the language for instance).
Some parameters are overridden by Google (like zooming) in non-embedded maps

Example hl=en controls the language

Cloak email  Obfuscates email addresses with JavaScript to protect them from Spambots.
Note when using the module in content (by using the load modules plugin for instance), set the email cloaking to ‘yes’ in the module if the plugin email cloaking is enabled. It will prevent wrong styling of the content
Email substitute Replace the email address with specific text
Webpage substitute Replace the webpage URL with specific text

Links A..E
Label as substitute Use the link label (= link name) as a replacement for the URL value. Check all possibilities at Fields: behavior and what happens when showing social network with those fields at Social network fields.
