Adding custom markers dynamically to map using OpenLayers_问答_开发者

I would like to let users add custom markers on a map with a description for each marker. Any tips, links to a开发者_运维问答ny tutorials would be really useful.

You can register a function to 'click' event on your map. When the user click on it, the mark is added automatically.

Try something like this:

// 'map' is your map created using new OpenLayers.Map(options)

markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Markers" );
markers.id = "Markers";
map.addLayer(markers);

map.events.register("click", map, function(e) {
      //var position = this.events.getMousePosition(e);
      var position = map.getLonLatFromPixel(e.xy);
      var size = new OpenLayers.Size(21,25);
   var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w/2), -size.h);
   var icon = new OpenLayers.Icon('images/mark.png', size, offset);   
   var markerslayer = map.getLayer('Markers');

   markerslayer.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(position,icon));

   });

Pretty simple, but I think that you can understand it :)

i tried @Fran 's solution but it didnt work for me. so i adapted this example from openlayers so that i could accomplish 2 things:

save latitude and longitude of marker position

place a marker by clicking on the openlayers map

there is something that you need to be aware of regarding the TRANSFORM method for LonLat as used in this simple example: when you apply [ .transform(projection1, projection2) ] to any LonLat, ALL LonLat objects are transformed.

play around with the order of certain commands and you will see what i mean.

for draggable markers, this example has it all
