Showing Multiple Resource Markers on a Yandex Map with ddYMap

A practical map-output pattern for Evolution CMS projects that need one marker per resource instead of one hard-coded location.

Map integrations become much more useful once every resource can supply its own marker. In classic Evolution CMS projects, ddYMap plus Ditto was a flexible way to build that from ordinary documents and a location TV.

Basic pattern

[[ddYMap?
 &geoPos=`[[Ditto?
   &tpl=`mapRow`
   &tplLast=`mapRowLast`
   &noResults=``
 ]]`
]]

The row template outputs one marker definition:

{latLng: [[+location+]], content: '<h1>[+pagetitle+]</h1>'},

Why this works well

The map layer stays generic while the resource list provides the marker data. That means editors can manage locations through ordinary documents instead of touching the map code directly.

What to watch for

Coordinate formatting must stay consistent.
The last row often needs a separate template to avoid a trailing comma.
Popup HTML should stay small and sanitized.

For older Evo builds, this is still a solid example of using content structures to drive frontend behavior cleanly.
