API update in [8493] breaks old syntax

[tatadeluxe@…]

Hi: After changeset [8493] the markers options like color are missing.

Now address and coordinates works fine together:

[[GoogleStaticMap(center="Providencia Santiago Chile",zoom=15,size=400x400,markers="Providencia Santiago Chile"|-33.432749:-70.615852)]]

But if I add optional argument like color, the markers doesn't show up:

[[GoogleStaticMap(center=-33.432749:-70.615852,zoom=15,size=400x400,markers=-33.432749:-70.615852:bluea)]]

The actual features are ok for me, but I think that would be helpful to report this issue.

Thanks for reporting this.

Since [8493] the new API 2.0 of Google is used, which changes the markers syntax (and most likely other syntax as well). See ​http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#MarkerStyles for details.

I will have to add an api option to select between the old and new API version in order to allow to support old code.

(In [8557]) tracgooglestaticmap/macro.py:: Finished support for old (1) and new (2) Google Static Map API. This fixes #7591.

You can get this to work in the following way the new syntax:

[[GoogleStaticMap(center="-33.432749,-70.615852",zoom=15,size=400x400,markers="color:blue|label:A|-33.432749,-70.615852")]]

This gives you ​this image.

The old syntax for markers doesn't work anymore, Backward compatibility is missing, but for me is not a problem.

The new syntax works OK, :D

Yes, I saw that. This is now fixed in [8571].

The new syntax works OK, :D

Thanks for verifying this.
