Creating custom category markers
When any listing is displayed on the map, it is shown as a pin. This pin icon is as in the default template. To modify this pinned icon as per your category, marker image needs to be placed under module images directory:
modules/mod_jomdirectory_maps/images/markers/...
The file name should be same as the category. The spaces need to be replaced with dashes " - " and the "marker" prefix. So, suppose category name is Auto Parts, then the file name for the marker should be marker_auto-parts.png.
