I am attempting to add infowindows to the markers with PlaceDetails that are returned after a google searchbox search. When I click on the markers no infowindows open. I cannot
To get the Place Details to use in the InfoWindow, you need to make a second request to the Places API (when the marker is clicked). Inside the createMarker function (which has function closure on the "place"):
var request = {
reference: place.reference
};
google.maps.event.addListener(marker,'click',function(){
service.getDetails(request, function(place, status) {
if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
var contentStr = '<h5>'+place.name+'</h5><p>'+place.formatted_address;
if (!!place.formatted_phone_number) contentStr += '<br>'+place.formatted_phone_number;
if (!!place.website) contentStr += '<br><a target="_blank" href="'+place.website+'">'+place.website+'</a>';
contentStr += '<br>'+place.types+'</p>';
infowindow.setContent(contentStr);
infowindow.open(map,marker);
} else {
var contentStr = "<h5>No Result, status="+status+"</h5>";
infowindow.setContent(contentStr);
infowindow.open(map,marker);
}
});
});
Example
I little bit changed your code. Try this one.
