Step 7. Edit DisplayAPANMap.js to display a different map
DisplayAPANMap.js is a JavaScript file that allows you to display a public map from map.apan.org in your
SharePoint site. Each map on map.apan.org has a unique ID. If you would like to display a different map,
go to map.apan.org and click on your map. The URL of your map ends with a number. For example, in
the URL, https://map.apan.org/map/185 185 is the map ID.
1. Go to map.apan.org and display your map in a browser.
2. Note the number at the end of the URL.
3. Go to your home page of your SharePoint site. Click on Libraries in the left hand side navigation bar.
Click on Scripts document library, or the name of the library where your script resides.
4. Mouse over displayAPANMap and choose Send to and then choose Download a copy.
5. Go to your downloads and open displayAPANMap.js with a text editor. Do not open the file in your
browser.
6. Look for the line that begins with _globalMapIdSetByUser = 185; (see illustration below)
7. Change 185 to the number at the end of your map URL.
Warning: Do not delete the semicolon (;) after the ID.
8. Save the file. Then upload the file to your Scripts document library.
Because the filename has not changed, you will not have to change the referenced URL in your web
control part. If you are displaying several maps at the same time, you’ll have to use a unique name for
the JavaScript file
Further Information
1. You can choose any name for your document library and JavaScript file. The key point is that the
URL in the Content Editor web control must match the JavaScript file name and location.
2. Currently, you can only display one map per web page.
3. If you are going to display multiple maps for your site, use a different filename for each map,
such as displayAPANMap1.js or displayLiberiaMap.js.
4. Download the JavaScript file to your desktop and use a text editor to modify.
5. Use the downloaded JavaScript as the foundation for making changes and uploading to your
scripts library.
6. You can modify 3 lines in the JavaScript file:
a. Map ID
b. Map Height
c. Legend Height
7. If you edit the items in the JavaScript file, be sure that you do not delete the semi-colon (: ) in
the line.
