Arguments not working in cartoDB createLayer method

Question

I added a cartoDB layer to an existing map using createLayer method and it loaded properly. Thereafter, created a variable params and parsed the arguments as sees on the code snippet below. Unfortunately I am not able to see the title, shareable button and the search bar on my map. What could be wrong?

var params = {
 search: true,
 cartodb_logo: false,
 mobile_layout: true,
 shareable: true,
 title: true
}
cartodb.createLayer(map, jsonUrl, params).addTo(map)
.on('done', function(layer){
 layer.setZIndex(1000); baseLayer
})

There are a couple of things wrong in your code. First of all, you should use createVis instead of createLayer in order to set map options. Then, you have to use as function arguments vis and layer/s if you want to set interactions. Here I have built a working example using createVis with map options like the ones in your params object. :-)

• andrew: Thanks @ramiroaznar, I thought one was able to set the map options on a base layer that is not provided by cartodb.
• ramiroaznar: You can also customize your basemap options using createLayer with Leaflet: var map = L.map('map', options);.
• andrew: It worked. Used the map options as documented here leafletjs.com/reference.html#map-options
