Google Map not working in Jquery Tool Overlays modal dialog - google-maps-api-3

I am using jquerytools(http://jquerytools.org/) for the overlays modal dialog in my site. Now i have to show google map in modal window(jquery tool layover), but unfortunately google map is not loaded in overlay.
What i am doing is just showing a complete form in Overlay(using ajax request, i got complete html for the form"that includes google map as well" and render it in layover). In my case its not loading the google map but other form elements are rendered successfully. I have open that page(that i fetch via ajax request to show in overlay) in separate tab and then it shows proper elements with google map as well.
It seems to me that google maps are conflicting with jquery tools layover.
Anyone else stuck in the same problem or any idea for its solutions. Thanks in advance.
NOTE: I am not talking about google maps overlay. My issue is showing google maps in overlay modal dialog

After looking through internet i found that showing google maps in overlay modal dialogue using ajax request is not a way. I use iframe and it resolved my issue. Now i use iframe and google map is loaded at page load time and it works perfectly fine for me. If anyone can suggest a way to do it via ajax request then i would consider that way probably. As far as i searched on internet iframe would be best option in this scenario

I followed the link you give above (event-in-town.com/place/index/addlocationlayover), which you say loads the map fine, but I don't see a map when I load that page. One thing I see - there is a problem in the URL that loads the map:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&language=&region=DE">
</script>
The correct parameter to define the language for your map is: &language=DE, so start by changing your map load URL to:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&language=DE">
</script>
That should get you moving in the right direction -

How to activate this context window in Google Maps API

Started to work with Google Maps JavaScript API v3, but in all my maps this info window is missing. Researching "Infowindow" just offers information about tag windows that open if you click on the map badge I can set.
Anybody knows how to activate this "context window" which is activated in the Google Maps iframe example? See the picture below…
The Answer to your questions is NO, there is no way to activate a context window in the API other than the info windows.
May I suggest to use a div element and with simple CSS you can position your div in front of your map or anywhere you want, and with the Google Maps API you fill this div with any info you want.
I did not find any info about that context window in the docs neither, but inspecting Google Maps I see that all of that is pure HTML.
Happy coding :)

Google map in wordpress

I want to make web site like this.
http://sf.eater.com/maps/the-38-essential-san-francisco-restaurants-january-2015
I don't have any experience Google map API.
Where I can get sample code or theme like this?
Google map api is pretty simple, but you need to use some other plugins as well to make it work like this website. Although i wont be able to handover the code to you, but here is what you have to do.
You just create a map and add points to a map and then add an event on the click. Take a look at this for a simple event.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-simple
You can replace the zoom in feature with windows load method to jump to a certain anchor on a page. You can also add any smooth scrolling plugin, You can use this code.
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/smooth-scrolling/.
Now when someone clicks on the map, javascript should be redirecting you to another page but because you will be using this technique with #anchors, instead of going to another page it will try to find this anochor on the same page. And the smooth scroll plugin will animate the scrolling for a better effect.

Interact with embedded Dailymotion (DMCloud) iframe video?

When displaying a Dailymotion (DMCloud) video in an iframe on my page, how can I use JavaScript to interact with video - get current playing time, for example?
Dailymotion have a JS SDK for this (docs), but I can't find how to use the SDK to interact with an existing iframe rather than create a new one.
So, assuming I have something like:
<iframe src="https://api.dmcloud.net/embed/4e5bf73e94a6f629c900461b/4fcbcc1a06361d0dda000267?auth=1571064530-0-6tpgjq7u-30443abdac10acef6cf336eb89412713& id="foo"></iframe>
Using JS, how can I get the current playing time of the video?
it looks like your are mixing DM cloud and Dailymotion.com
The APIs are different and the documentation for the cloud player can be found at https://www.dmcloud.net/doc/api/player-video_player.html
There is a working example at the bottom of the page: http://api.dmcloud.net/static/dmplayer/dmplayer-sdk.html
Anyway, I think you're missing the code you're refering to but I confirm you cannot control or interact with an iframe that wasn't created using the API.
Well it seems possible #Dailymotion, the iframe needs to be loaded with &api=postMessage, then you get a DOM reference to the iframe and do:
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage('play', '*');
And it works.

Customize default InfoWindow in Google Maps API v3

I am wondering if it is possible to customize the default InfoWindow that pops up when the user clicks on various businesses that Google displays on its default map (see screenie). I would like to add functionality to let people "pin" these locations if they have stumbled on them while just browsing the map.
It is not currently possible to listen to any click event on the POI icons so overriding/modifying the info window is not possible.
File a feature request asking for it.
i don't know customizing the functionality of infowindow, but by using google infobox we can customize the look, from that you can try the functionality. because infobox uses pure html code.

Embedding a map into a website or blog
You can embed a simple map, a set of
driving directions, a local search, or
maps created by other users. Here's
how:
Ensure that the map you'd like to embed appears in the current map
display.
Click Link to this page in the top-right corner of the map.
In the box that pops up, copy the HTML under 'Paste HTML to embed in
website,' and paste it into the source
code of your website or blog.
If you'd like to adjust the size of the map before you embed it, just click
Customize and preview embedded map, select your preferred size, and take a
look at the preview map. Once you're happy with what you see, copy the HTML
that appears in the box at the bottom of the window.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to embed Traffic maps, Mapplets, and some
other Maps features.
Google Map API is just javascript. Which can be used in any web technology
follow this link you will get what you are looking for
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
If your beginning, maybe you should try to learn web development first. Javascript, post/get mechanics, HTML/CSS validation. Tackling Google Maps integration right at the beginning of your learning process might slow down your project evolution. It's my opinion.
