gmaps4rails hide show sidebar

So, if markers are hidden on the map, their sidebar item stays visible. I read through the entire gem, and I didn't see any functionality for also hiding the corresponding sidebar element. Anyone have a clue on this one?

Solution 
  • function hide(category) {
  var regEx = new RegExp("[" + category + "]")
  for (var i=0; i<Gmaps.map.markers.length; i++) {
    if (Gmaps.map.markers[i].cat) {
      if (Gmaps.map.markers[i].cat.match(regEx)) {
        Gmaps.map.hideMarker(Gmaps.map.markers[i]);
        $('a#' + Gmaps.map.markers[i].id).closest('li').hide();
        Gmaps.map.visibleInfoWindow.close();
      }
    }
  }
  // == clear the checkbox ==
  document.getElementById(category+"box").checked = false;
}

    did that... with a corresponding show method. works nicely!
