VBGooglemap Member Edition

How i can fix the Problem with the Task manager?

"Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by...."

[ccunnin71]

This system is pretty cool! I have it working on my board but like many users I have seen in the post history I to suffer the following error...

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../forums/cron.php:59) in /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php on line 20

Has anyone resolved this problem? It is hit or miss when it shows up. :(

Otherwise very good mod!

Hi,

I seen a few posts about same problem I am having but it seemed they dropped off.

I just loaded the program and all went fine until I tried to click on one of the maps from the admincp section and got the following error.

No Elements available

I really like this mod and want it to work on my site so please if someone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Getting red X's and the markers don't show up. Image folder is posted correctly. Help thanks!

[khkcon]

To which folder must the File "vbgooglemapme deutsch.xml" copied? It seems no valid Plugin-File, because I get the an Error on import.

My map has stopped working. Google is saying the key is wrong:

http://forums.finalgear.com/vbgooglemapme.php

But it isn't. I just generated it again and pasted it in and it still doesn't work.

[bluechris]

Hi guys, after long watching why the markers doesnt show i went to conclusion that something is affecting the page to show the markers.
So i tried to remove things from the page and finally i managed to Show the map correctly including the markers and all the rest info.
The thing i did is going to my templates and i edited the VBGOOGLEMAPME template by removing the $footer in the end of the file.

I still doesnt know why the footer does the tricks (i try now to remove elements from footer) to the Addon but honestly im damn happy that all working fine.. i suppose some hack or addon interfears with the API or something simillar.

The same trick for me worked for the HotSpot Edition also and the only problem i have now in both addons is the if you add Greek things in your Entry they show in the map as Japanese... well i suppose i can leave with this for a bit of time.

I hope i helped some people.

No elements available is Default for no entries. You need to add at least one entry on the map itself before that field will show anything. Example: Go to the map on the site itself & click your entry to add the required information so you can go back into the Admincp Me full view as well as the unapproved view. Once you have entered the info you can go into to those particular fields in the Admincp.

Dam Im a truck driver, I think I should go back to college. :p

Good Luck !!!

I've notice alot of folks here having trouble with installs from several months ago. Here is the key, Save your Templates as a text file encase you screw-up. I've saved every single template I've customized in a text file into a Back up template folder. Common Sense.

I have no issues what soever but I would like to Link to posts with map by using the : $post[findme] code but I've entered this into every single field in the postbit_legacy. :confused: Maybe someone can help me with the easy stuff as I only understand who to do the hard stuff. lmao !!!

[basilrath]

just a quick answer the no entries are showing set the entries to be

"Auto approve additions to the map (handle with care). Don't forget to allow usergroups to add, edit or delete items in the usergroup manager"

in your admin cp

this allows entries to be posted or added as they obviously wont show in the map until approved manually by yourself as Super Admin

ive only posted this a lot of people using this hack moan about about the entries not showing straight away without checking the me user settings in cp.

Why do I bother asking when its about 99.9% user error. :( Well I changed the & sign to $ sign (Correct sign) in the Post Bit Template.....Post Bit (Template)

I've added this in the !-- user info -- Section under :

if condition="$post['rank']"div class="smallfont"$post[rank]/div/ifbr$post[findme]/B/br

Hope this helps...

Getting red X's and the markers don't show up. Image folder is posted correctly. Help thanks!

You need to assign a color for each usergroup to get them to display in the legend.

On another note, none of my markers are showing on the map. It seems the map isn't assigning the colors like the legend. My map is looking for the file mm_20_.png

Any help? TIA

[ricker]

I think the cron needs to run before this thing works right. Mine's working now!

[Doglet]

Great hack, my users love it. Thankyou so much.

[Ignicoccus]

I am using vbgooglemap ME on my board for about 4 month now. Everything worked fine, my useres love this mod. But now the map stopped displaying new entries. I have 317 entries in the admin cp (all approved) but the map only loads 273 markers.

I don't now where to look, any ideas ?

Thanks

[MediaHound]

Whats the deal with duplicates?
I'm going through my ME Full view list in the admin cp and I see some members have multiple entries.
My mapID's 69-72 all belong to the same username.
80 and 81 are the same guy
114 and 115 are the same guy
141 and 142 are the same guy - when this guy was doing his entry, he reported to me in an IM that he was getting an error message "missing text" - and I quote:
"( MARKER TEXT)(<URL INFO)??????I tried it but this info was needed." because he did not fill out the text and the image url information (although text is the only required of the two, I realize that), so I sent him back to the page to try again and I explained what that meant, what the text is for, etc.. - He went back and added the entry just fine the second attempt.

SO, I think this little bug might have something to do with people submitting their entry only to get an error message - the entry was recorded even though they are asked to try again and correct the errors. Although I am not 100% sure of this, it is only a hunch...

Only 1 marker shows for each person on the map, though. But I dont think there's a need for duplicates in the db! I think some code fix is in order...

Anyone care to take a stab at this?

ps I use V2.5.1 - if this was corrected in the latest version, I apologize, but I searched this thread and nobody has reported duplicates yet, so my guess is that it still persists regardless of version...

[MediaHound]

and by the way, my Me Full view report shows 143 entries under mapID, however my publicly viewable map shows Loaded: 137 of 137
So, the viewable map does not mind the duplicate entries, they only seem to clutter the db...
Just an fyi if this was not clear in my last post.
This bug may pose a data hygiene issue if these users go to edit their location and the script grabs one random entry for them if they have duplicates, it might cause some hair pulling if the map then goes and loads the wrong entry! I didnt pressure test that far into it nor look at the code, but hey who knows... it should be fixed.
cheers

Check out my posts above, look carefully at your list of entries in the admin cp - there may be duplicates. Count them and see if that makes up the difference in numbers.

You are absolutly right, there are several double entries in "ME full view" !
I am using Version 2.5.2

[MediaHound]

Yep, its really not a big issue (yet). Let's see if we can get a fixed version whipped up though...
I think this mod is still being supported, right?

Ahh..OK thanks. I didn't realize that this wasn't done by default. :p

Good hack, thanks! :D

[Alien]

Have any of you noticed any sort of query problem on your showthread/postbit pages?

Especially when viewing pages with a significant amount of posts..

For example, go to a page that has like 15+ posts on it. Then, take note of how many queries you have on that page (you'll need microstats or something similar to view this). Then, go into your AdminCP and temporarily disable this hack. Then, go back and view the query count for the exact same thread you viewed earlier. Do you see a significant difference?

I tried this on several boards (one that had absolutely ZERO additional hacks on the entire site) and the queries were almost double. I can create this issue on any site, has this been brought up before?

All sites are running Googlemaps 2.5.2, and vBulletin 3.6.4.

[Alien]

Ah, I see I'm not the only one.. It runs a query on every post.. Since this was mentioned several months ago to be something fixed in an upcoming version, are we close to the release of this? Otherwise I guess I'll use that temporarily workaround that was posted..

I love this hack!

[daddygrim]

using it on 3.6.4..and it's not working..unless i'm doing something wrong..I add all the info in the fields..and it never saves.

[T_Richardson]

Works flawlessly on vB 3.6.4 :up:

Clicks Install!Only one minor problem, my forums use a white font and when viewing the mouseover balloon, you can't see the username because the balloon is also white. I don't want to modify my CSS. Is there a way to edit the font color for it to show?

Thanks..

[SuperGLS]

I'm not getting the vBgooglemap ME link in my AdminCP after I upload all the files. I refreshed as instructed and even logged out and back in again but nothing. No link to vBgooglemap ME.

This hack is just as dead and the vbgoogle hotspot as the author had not made any changes in a year...Would be nice to see another coder take this over and add geozip feature rather and L&L as some members dont know that expecially younger kids.

Hi,
any News about the buggy Cronjob?
If Usergroups where Changed in ACP, there where not displayed correctly in the Map.

[Tralala]

I see at one point this automatically placed users Avatars in the bubble. And then it got removed. :( Too much incompatibility with various browsers, I presume?

I'd love the option to get avatars back. Any plans for trying again?

[stwilson]

I have to agree 100%. It would be nice to see some other coder(s) take on an updated Google Map MOD. This one was probably best in class a year ago but is in need of some enhancements to be more Web 2.0. Just my opinion and I'm not knocking the MOD, just seeing an opportunity for another coder to take over this type of MOD and make some decent money. I know I would pay for an enhanced version of these MODs.

[Tralala]

OK, this is working pretty well in test for us on vB 3.6.4 (Apache2/PHP5/MySQL5/Linux). We have these exceptions:
- Picture display comes and goes. Sometimes scrolling the map helps?
- Some members don't see the pins or links above the on map certain computers.

My advice to those having complete problems (no display) is: recapitulate the install and make sure the cron task is working. That advice may be worth nothing. I can't support the add-on for you any further. As always, the more details you post, the more likely you are to get help. If it was me, I'd post: O/S, vB & add-on versions plus file locations uploaded, plus cron task log.

...

To be clear again: You can wreck things playing around at this level. If you do, its YOUR fault. My code is NOT authorized by Stonyarc and frankly, I expect him to delete this post when he/she returns. For those who have the skills to deal with this, I hope this helps you. I've been helped so much be vb.org over the years.


Thanks very much for sharing this; I very much wanted to enable avatars in the GoogleMap ME on my forum, and so I followed these instructions to a "T." Avatars are, in fact, stored in my forum's database.

And so I made a full backup of my database, created the php (making sure to edit it to match my forum's URL ;) ) and then uploaded the file... created the cron job, and manually ran it.

Then I ran that SQL query... but don't see standard avatar URLs. All I see are the URLs to pics folks have "manually" attached to their map entry. Of course I still don't see any avatars in the actual map, either. In fact, it appears that nothing has changed. So now I am just wondering if there's anything else I can try.

I am running vBulletin 3.6.4.
Server Type: Linux
Web Server: Apache v1.3.37 (cgi)
PHPL 4.4.4
MySQL Version: 5.0.24a-standard-log
Not too many add-ons, everything else is running swimmingly, in fact.

Again, thanks for sharing this!

I've got a weird problem.

Before my migration to VB I installed a VB instance with my current database with the googlemap. Then, when you clicked on a users location the default zoom level (8 in my case) worked flawless.

Now I've installed VB again for production forum and installed the same version of the googlemap but the default zoom level for a user marker won't work.

I saw more people got this problem, anybody any idea what the problem might be?

Thnx

[Tralala]

I'd just like it to zoom to a default zoom level when I click on a marker already on the map. It doesn't zoom at all unless I drag the slider.

I noticed this too... regardless of what I set for "Default zoom of the maps when using a link to show the marker" in AdminCP, when I link to the map from a user's postbit (using $findme) it always zooms at zoom level of 10.

[bplinson]

Does this now work in FireFox? I can see themap in IE but not FireFox.

Is this mod no longer supported?

[dadu911]

How can I show all the users whom already have set their locations automatically rather them posting up a mark. They selected location in USERCP can they show automatically on the map ?

[bplinson]

Without a major rewrite it is not possible.

[Kahuna900]

Is this still being supported? It's work good on 3.6.5, but the Moderators only show as registered users. Does anyone else have this problem?

[lefthome]

Like this hack a lot and only one minor issue that I noticed: in the “Your entry” section; location: Link to your location; To link to your location just copy the correct string and use it in your signature, profile or on your website. You can use any other image you want between the links or just use a small text. To return to the map click here the link is wrong and takes you back to a nonexistent file. Can you tell me how or can you correct this please?


*EDIT*

Never mind. I searched in phrases, found it and made the correction myself.

Yet another dangerous 'accessory' for your googlemap, from the reckless bulbasnore. If this destroys your map and your forum, its not my fault.

We have a need to let the displaygroupid determine the map pin color for registered members (groupid = 2). Here is the job we cron in order to do that:

I've read and re-read the instructions. Installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled foloowing all the instructions per the ste-by-step PDF file. Set all the options correctly and all group permissions.

I've added my own location - I can see that fine (see attachment 1; vbgme1.jpg).

I see absolutely nothing in the main map and neither do other members (see attachment 2; vbgme2.jpg).

This occurs in both IE7 and Firefox2.

Any suggestions?

**Edit**
I've since discovered that it is my zoints seo addon which is causing the problem. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Is there a way of possibly excluding the googlemap page form the zoints seo?

Thanks da420

I'm working on the new version of all the googlemap versions.

Release is still on target for this year.

As for the SEO issue, SEO and special apps like googlemaps can give issues.

Most SEO products allow you to exclude certain pages from SEO so why not use that till I can investigate the matter. I'm sure the SEO people will look into it also.

After posting in the zoints help thread I was directed to this: http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=2068

It's a little workaround for the incompatibility with zoints and the googlemapme.
I did the code edit on my site and all is working fine now.

http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=2068

Not sure if this will be any help, but I found what is causing the problem and got a temporary solution

The issue is caused by Zoints SEO wanting to rewrite "#top" to '"#top" rel="nofollow"' in the global_complete hook. This edits the javascript in the googlemapme templates and get you a javascript error.

My solution, though it may not be the best long term one, was to edit the global_complete Zoint_SEO hook, changing this

if (strpos($output, '"#top"'))
{
$output = str_replace('"#top"', '"#top" rel="nofollow"', $output);
}

to this

if (strpos($output, '"#top"') && THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbgooglemapme')
{
$output = str_replace('"#top"', '"#top" rel="nofollow"', $output);
}

This way it does not perform the change if you are using vbgooglemapme.

Thanks, Calash and corsacant! :)

[cjshirlaw]

I am stuck at stage seven, can some one help please?

[djbaxter]

Suggestion:

Can this be modified to exclude the legend for groups not included on the map?

For example, as a privacy measure, I have the following groups with no permission to view the map:

Guests (Unregistered / Not Logged In)
Users Awaiting Email Confirmation
(COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation
Banned

Having a legend for groups that don't have permission to view the page seems redundant and is confusing to my members, many of whom are not "technologically advanced".

[djbaxter]

1. You have to define an image to be used for each usergroup before it will display.

2. You have to set the add-on to auto-approve additions to the map OR make sure you manually approve additions.

Hi,
the Markers are not updated, if a User change the Usergroup.
I Change a User from Registered User to another Usergroup (primary too), but the Marker is Yellow for registred User and not in the new color for the new Usergroup.

I confirm the same problem as MrD, but in my case the markers of "unapproved" views, after clicking "change status" in admincp does not get added to the map.

Probably because of the error I mentioned before

second question:

How can I turn off, that poeple have to set an image, before their marker can be seen.

Several have asked for this so far but I haven't see a response. Would it be possible to disable the image information for the users that have pins on the map. If someone links to a slow host it causes the map to populate very slowly while it waits for the users image information to be populated. We'd like to get rid of it completely. Please advise.

how do you set the file permissions on the markers.xml file to 777?

please explain it in a way where i newbie can understand :(

[Whitey193]

Now i'm no expert myself but you are obviously using a FTP program to upload the files to the server.

Depending on the program but they should all be very similar, right click on the selected file(s) and change the file attributes to 777.. This is basically selecting all the available options for the file.

Hi,
the Markers are not updated, if a User change the Usergroup.
I Change a User from Registered User to another Usergroup (primary too), but the Marker is Yellow for registred User and not in the new color for the new Usergroup.

OK... This is also going to be a problem for me as the group get promoted and then change usergroup.

Is there an update or an amendment we can make?

Thx,

Whitey.. :D

[Whitey193]

Why do I bother asking when its about 99.9% user error. :( Well I changed the & sign to $ sign (Correct sign) in the Post Bit Template.....Post Bit (Template)

I've added this in the !-- user info -- Section under :

if condition="$post['rank']"div class="smallfont"$post[rank]/div/ifbr$post[findme]/B/br

Hope this helps...

Gerry

If this helps, this is my postbit (not legacy & I'm using a skin) and posted in the same location as above.

<if condition="$post[findme]"><div class="smallfont">Click here to see $post[findme]</if>

Seems to work perfectly for me. Just in case anyone else is looking for a way to do this.

Which template would I need to edit if i wished to add this to the user cp module on the CMPS?

Thanks,

Whitey.. :eek:

[pureturk]

whitey thank you very very much

but here are my other problems.

1. is there away to only show certain groups on the list. there are 8 groups.
but i do not have anybody as super moderators, coppa etc so its pointless for those usergroups to show.

2. showmainmap
list users
your entry
aboutvbgooglemap

when I press these buttons i get a error page. i think the problem is the url adress for all these buttons. because the adress on the adress bar does not match where i uploaded the files to my server. how do i change the url for each of these buttons so they are directed to the correct source.

3. in the markers.xml file, there is nothing but a code that has the word markers twice. do i need to enter any code in there? (i know i sound like a complete fool but sorry i m very new to this :( )

4. when I got my api key from googlemap, it showed an example of some codes underneith my code and said "your page should look like this" do i do anything with that code or ignore it?

any help would be highly appreciated. thanks

After updating the markers to where the users are at don't seem to display

[stonyarc]

After updating the markers to where the users are at don't seem to display

Make sure you upload the marker files to all your styles.

That should fix it.

Also run the cron once or update your location yourself to force the recreate of the markers.xml file.

If you uninstalled completely it may be required to reassign the markers to the different usergroups.

Edit:

I downloaded the markers.xml from your server and ran it on my dev server and everything looks ok.

[Ncturnal]

The install went without incident and everything seems to be working fine.

When you are ready to work on new features, we'd really like to see the ability to turn off the add image to your marker functionality. Great work on the hack. It's one of my favorites!

[stonyarc]

Yes a preview of the new version can be seen on

http://www.xboxlivenation.com/community/gamermap.php

And there is a very cool feature that will be included which is the proximity calculator

http://www.xboxlivenation.com/community/gamerprox.php

So you know what's coming soon

That feature will be included in the hotspot version too.

Can you please edit the user with mapid 9 and remove the first ? from the text map field It's showing a javascript error in IE. You can do that in admincp or in the list users on the main page.

http://www.vbcoderz.com/markers.xml

It's doesn't show it on my server with the same XML but it does on yours.

It's a charset issue. UTF-8 is preferred

I added a

No map shows up in the main page of it but I have no problem in adding my location. I use 3.6.4, if it helps.

Updated from 2.5.1 (which was working perfectly) - however it won't run the CRON now - in AdminCP when trying to run the CRON I get:

Googlemap ME Cron
Cannot open XML File

All steps were done according to the PDF file instructions.

No markers are showing on the main map - however all previous entries are still listed out when you "List Users".


Please advise. Thanks!

Hello,

The only way I can simulate that problem is if I put the markers.xml file in read only

Please check if the file is set to 777 by using chmod.

Can you try to test the query on a test database 'SET NAMES 'utf8';' in phpmyadmin.

Normally it should run fine. Otherwise please also check with your provider why running this isn't allowed.

What version are you running of Mysql.

installed and working great

[skepticality]

I love this mod,

When I installed it, it worked for about 2 days, then suddenly... I lost all my markers and such. I have looked through the threads here, even moved over the newer code update files... but I still can't run the CRON, it gives me a few errors.

--- ERROR ---

Gogglemap ME Cron

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/truthin/public_html/vboard/global.php on line 241
--- END ERROR ---

I have double checked that the files are in those locations, the cronadmin.php is in the correct directory. And it has permissions of 777.

Is there something else I should focus on? :erm:

[Mellow]

When I click the list users, they all show up as administrators.. The map itself is correct and it seems the values in the admin cp are okay as far as the markers and the ugergroup ids and even the database/table values appear fine, but the list users screen just has everyone as an admin.

A cron will force a recreate of the xml file or updating your marker

Did you change the positions of the usergroupids on your board?

I ran the cron first thing but that didn't make a difference.

I've added 1 or 2 usergroups since I disabled the previous version however they were secondary usergroups and most of the primary ones are the same.

The actual map looks perfect, it's just the 'list users' that shows everyone as administrators.

[Mellow]

I'm not sure if this matters but I'm on 3.6.4

[Gord]

Will there be an upgrade/fix for the Hot Spot edition?

[skepticality]

So frustrated...

I lost all my markers, then after hours of trying to get the Cron to run... and it never did, kept giving me a 'Fatal Error' ... I walked away, then woke up today, and it all magically worked! Until, a couple hours ago. I STILL can't run the cron job to try that as a possible fix... and I've poked around for the past time and can't see anything more I can/could do!

Any ideas? :confused:

[towermatt]

Hello--this is great. Works perfectly for me

Thanks for the mod and I can't wait to see the proximity thingy. :D

Can this be modified to function similarly to the Hotspot edition? I don't really need a place to show where members are, but I need a system that utilizes the google maps and puts pin points where I need them. Hotspot edition did that perfectly for me, until it was moved to the graveyard and I was told to remove it...and I can't even respond to those threads to figure out what happened, and what the vulnerability was. Was the vulnerability open for attacks even if only admins could add/remove content from the map? If not, then the Hotspots edition will work fine. Noone has permission to add anything, except me.

Otherwise, if this Member edition can act similar to the Hotspot edition in that I (the admin) can add and remove pinpoints with descriptions, then I will switch to this. Thanks :)

[mlucek]

Definitely a sweeeeet hack. Now I just need to give my user's some instructions on how to easily add their markers. It's a bit confusing for the general populace :)

[skepticality]

Well,

I went back from the beginning and thought maybe it would work... but I STILL get this error when I try to run the Cron....

I have to try that because even though it reports all the people who have marked their locations... the map is EMPTY! :(

Well - works like a charm ... but my members cannot see the .png files of their position. Admin-Accounts can see them. I put on the right permissions, but nothing to see for registered users.

Any ideas?

[schnulli]

Problem:

Using updatet VB 3.6.8 Googlemapene product 3.0.0
install with no errors.


But all users can not be seen on map, there are no markers,

:confused:

[StarFire]

Additional - if the user-positions are viewed with admin-account, the markers are perfectly visible. Watch them with a standard-user account, the markers are gone.

Userlist viewed with admin-account states that all users show up in the "admin-group", viewed with testuser-account they are in the group they are supposed to be.

This is a bit annoying ...

Bump. ;)

[mlucek]

Is there a simple way to manually add users to the map ? Most of the my users are not overly tech savvy, and it's a bit confusing to add a map marker for them.

I know I can manually edit the markers.xml file to add users, but not sure if that'll screwup synchronization with Google ?

In line with those comments, is there a simple way to add some user instructions to the "add marker" process ?

On this site :

http://www.thefloorpro.com/community/vbgooglemapme.php

There's an added an Instructions link that tells the user how to add their own marker. Was this part of V2.5.1 or did this person do that himself ??

http://www.thefloorpro.com/vbgooglemap_instructions.php

Seems to me, that if this was a custom mod, it'd sure be a nice addition to this map mod. I'll also contact the that site admin and see what they did :)

TIA !

Mike

[stonyarc]

Normally the instructions are included in the form itself.

The siteadmin just explained it a bit more to it's users.

Manual editing is possible in the admincp. Adding is userdriven. you can always manually insert the data in the table using phpmyadmin but that would require you to have their coordinates.

[curriertech]

I just upgraded from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 and all my markers are gone. What'd I do wrong? :D

Stonyarc....nice script. A suggestion: It sure would be nice if this script utilized clustering for the markers. This would alleviate the slow loads on maps with lots of points. Check out this example here:

Version 3.0.X was indeed just a update for some small errors.

You can preview some of the features of the version 4.0.0 on http://www.xboxlivenation.com/community/gamermap.php including that "live proximity" which calculates the physical distance.

The clustering is a very good suggestion.

Because that also include crucial vbulletin stuff like the ajax and css stuff.

It's caused by one of the *.js files

OK...


I let you admin permissions on my forum. If you have some free minutes, i will happy you could solve it...


I don't understand what i have to do...

Thanks a lot,

Love this mod....

Upgraded from 2.5 to 3.0 and all worked great...

Today I updated from 3.0 to 3.0.1 and although you can list individual users it will not display any on the map.

I do have a custom template, but not sure what the relationship between this is.

Could you please give me some advice?

Thanks much

It seems I have the same problem. :)

[klebo]

Hallo,

kann leider nur in Deutsch.

Habe 3.0.1 installiert. Markers 777

Mein Marker wird nicht angezeigt??? In keinem Browser.

Installation korrekt. Link im Forum korrekt. Cron korrekt.

Was kann ich tun? Fr?her hatte ich die ?ltere Version. Diese habe ich vor Installation von 3.0.1 "leider" gel?scht, statt update zu fahren. Mein Marker (als Admin) wurde aber auch da schon lange nicht mehr gezeigt.

Ich benutze nur den vB-Style !!

Please help me everyone. In German ??

Thanks

The only change to 3.0.1 was the userlist fix which was 1 query.

Did you get an error (javascript or other)? If so please provide. I'm trying to simulate the error but can't seem to do so.

[Doctor Death]

No errors whatsoever...

The map is there with no markers on it.

You can list users which works as well, it just doesnt put users on map.

I will be more than happy to provide you with admin access if you want to examine it.

Thanks Doc

[towermatt]

No Its still not workin on my site. I have done everything as explained in Installation Guide. marker.xml is 0777 every thing is uploaded in it is place. and Tested CRON job also. Still the Map is empty. With no marker on it...

Please Explain

This is happening to me as well. No markers on the main map and I am sure all the settings are correct.

I am running the "my location" post bit and it goes right to the users entry with marker and all, just nothing on the main map.

[Shazz]

Did you run the cron?

[towermatt]

I did, its been running for a while now. Its funny because the were there and then just disappeared.

But I know the data is there, I have the images installed right where they should be, its kind of strange.

Feel free to have a look if you like

same for me, as i've ever said.


Stonyarc, you're admin on my board, you can do everyting you want in order to solve the problem.


Thanks. ;)

[towermatt]

And now with the upgrade, the map cannot be seen at all with IE7 :(

Map is there in firefox but no markers.

I may have to simply un install the mod which sucks because my members really love it.

[towermatt]

I found this in the 3.5 thread for the product and it totally works!!

Edit: I found the problem with mine. A user added an image and used full html code to it which broke the XML. If you are having the same issue and can't find where it is, open http://www.yourdomain.com/yourforumpath/markers.xml with Firefox and check where the error occurs. This only applies if you had the addon working and it suddenly broke for no reason.

Remember to manually run the cron tab after editing the offending marker, otherwise the file markers.xml won't be updated right away.

[Doctor Death]

I found this in the 3.5 thread for the product and it totally works!!


Now why would that be a factor if all was perfect before this update? I believe there is a subtle error that we are all experiencing above and beyond this reference post.

[towermatt]

Well, for me it was just someone putting in a funky link for the image on their marker, when they did that, it messed it up for everyone.

I edited the entry, deleted the link, now the markers are back

[Ncturnal]

Well, for me it was just someone putting in a funky link for the image on their marker, when they did that, it messed it up for everyone.

I've asked several times to have an option to disable the images but I haven't heard back on that yet. I know you can simply disable the text box where you input the image information but I haven't been able to find where that is yet. The remote image becomes a huge performance killer where there are a lot of images, especially if they used a slow host like photobucket.

[towermatt]

Very true, I am encourageing people to host the image they are going to use in my sites Photo Gallery because it does the size and also is always available.

[Ncturnal]

Very true, I am encourageing people to host the image they are going to use in my sites Photo Gallery because it does the size and also is always available.

Even with that there is still a performance hit. I think it would be better to simply link to the user's profile.

[towermatt]

Well, there is a link to the user profile on the main tab right, so what you want is the image to be whatever their avatar is?

[Ncturnal]

Well, there is a link to the user profile on the main tab right, so what you want is the image to be whatever their avatar is?

You're right, there is a link already. I prefer to have no images at all, or at least the option to turn them off completely.

[towermatt]

That may be a very useful option for this thing. I am finding that most of my users don't even put something on there.

But I agree, it would be nice to have the choice to turn it off.

[Julrou]

An i agree it would be nice that someone find what could be the reason for the problem....

[TerryMason]

I just want to echo that my map quit listing markers, and it was do to what towermatt mentioned -

Hi,


in fact, like some of you, the markers don't appear on the map.

Go here (registration required to see the map) :

If needed, i can put you admin, like i did for stonyarc. ;)


Thks

[towermatt]

Very cool site there--I will sign up over lunch and try to help out.

Have you ran the markers.xml to see if it is the problem above? Are there any entries on the map?

[towermatt]

Wow! I can't even figure how to register on the other language.

<---lame

If you would like to set me up with a sign on, I will get in and see what I can do.

[Alien]

This will change in the new version currently in dev.

Hey stony, it's so great to see this one updated...

I didn't see this mentioned in the fix history, but did you get the 'findme doubles queries in showthread' issue taken care of yet? Or should I just update and still get rid of this one hook?

Thanks again for keeping this updated!

[Doctor Death]

My markers file has no bad XML tags in it...

So where do you think I should go from here? Was working perfect until this last upgrade and now the map has no markers on it, but doesnt create errors.

The LIST USERS function works and shows all users and their data. You can edit the file and save but it still doesnt show.

Please give me hope that I wont have to uninstall this great mod.

[dutchbb]

It was working great, untill about ten members marked their location and suddenly all markers disappeared. The member data is still there but it does not show on the map.

So this mod is not bug free, I just like to state that for who is thinking about using this.

Hmmm...I seem to be pulling an error when I sign into the forums, I can get into the admin panel but I cant pull down the "extras" menu to see the member map

[Ronseal]

Hi guys, after long watching why the markers doesnt show i went to conclusion that something is affecting the page to show the markers.
So i tried to remove things from the page and finally i managed to Show the map correctly including the markers and all the rest info.
The thing i did is going to my templates and i edited the VBGOOGLEMAPME template by removing the $footer in the end of the file.

I still doesnt know why the footer does the tricks (i try now to remove elements from footer) to the Addon but honestly im damn happy that all working fine.. i suppose some hack or addon interfears with the API or something simillar.

The same trick for me worked for the HotSpot Edition also and the only problem i have now in both addons is the if you add Greek things in your Entry they show in the map as Japanese... well i suppose i can leave with this for a bit of time.

I hope i helped some people.

Hi,
This single reference, out of 32 pages, regarding the deletion of the $footer from the vbgooglemapme template has sorted my installation, thanks a million. Although I have absolutely no idea why it makes the markers appear...

Thanks again.
Ronseal

[Julrou]

Hum, you can also access to the member map edition thanks to the link at the right of the home page (this column is intituled "Bonus des forums"). :)

The link is "Carte des membres", under iSpy. ;)

I'll give it a try.

Have you tried the solve above. Getting rid of the $footer in that template?

I'll give it a try.

I did and it did NOT work.

Where is the author during all of this? Seems his update has an embedded error which is probably caused by a very simple oversight/coding error.

Sure would like to hear what he has to say about why this update has rendered all of our plugins inop.

Yes tried both the markers and footer fixes, neither worked. This had been working well for a long time through several updates until this one.

forgive me if this has been asked and if so just point me to the post itself but why would the pins just stop showing up? I installed this early this week and for pretty much the entire week they were there, members were adding their info and it was giving the correct pin color based on user group so I know I installed it correctly, but when I look today, no pins but the users are all still there. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

These issues have been around since the deadly update which killed display of pins. No one seems to have a good appreciation for the problem or sense of urgency to fix.

I think the developers must be on vacation, so until a good fix, I will disappointedly have to uninstall.

Any word on the "Show on Map" and FindMe features not zooming in on coordinates problem yet?

Maybe I missed it in the 105 pages of replies.

I noticed 5-10 people having the same problem though.

yes, I will have to do the same since showing a map of the world, I really don't need or want.

[bplinson]

This is strange. I have the can't see the markers problem also when I go to YOUR ENTRY I can see my marker.

I sure hope someone finds a fix for this soon.

[citroenar]

I want to make it so that only admins and registered users show in the legend, as all other groups cannot view the map.



I want to remove some usergroups from the list in legend too.any help?

[bplinson]

Go to Vbgooglemap ME in your admin control panel

Click on "ME Usergroup marker"

For the usergroups that you do not want to show click on "Edit this usergroup"

Set "Show usergroup on legend" to NO and click UPDATE

[citroenar]

Yes, how could I miss that?
Thanks!

[Kenneth89]

Have you followed the instructions to the letter?

is the marker.xml set to 777 chmod?

Yes i have Set this on 777

I'm in the same position....
I've had the map installed for a week and all was fine in testing, so I released it to the forum today and after only 35 entry's the markers have disappeared on the main map view. Usually I'd just uninstall a mod that doesn't work and look for an alternative, but unfortunately I've paid StonyArc 30 EUR for a branded free version, which I was happy to do untill now! :mad:

I'm sure we would all like a little support on this marker issue as it's a show stopper for me and I've had to take the Map offline to prevent my board from sending me complaint emails.

[towermatt]

have you guys tried running the markers.xml to make sure no one has entered a link that doesn't work?

It should show errors in there.

I am assuming you have but I figured I would throw this out here.

hopefully it isn't a "senseless post"

Indeed, it isn't a senseless post, cos i've not tried running the markers.xml...

I don't know how to do this ? :confused:


How do we see if there are errors in it ?

[yoyoyoyo]

Is there a way to add a variable for when the user has added themselves to the googlemap? I tried adding the $post[findme] in the dhtml member menu in postbit with this code:
<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option">$post[findme]</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>however if they have not added themselves to the googlemap then the table row just shows a blank selection - I want the <tr> to only be parsed if the user has added themselves to the googlemap - is there an available conditional in this hack? Any help is appreciated.

All you have to do is browse out to http://www.yoursite.com/forums/markers.xml

It is a file that came with the download for this mod and it should show any errors for links in read. Edit that entry on your map and it may bring the markers back.

[Ronseal]

Thanks Towermatt for trying to help, but running the markers.xml just brings up my portal page which currently has no link to my map install so I don't see why the markers.xml is of any use here?

[towermatt]

Hmmm, that may be the problem then. Have you checked your server to make sure the markers.xml is in the forums folder?

It really should bring up a page that shows the "entries" on your map

[Ronseal]

Sorry Towermatt, I typed 'forums' instead of 'forum' whilst testing your last instruction.

Right then you're onto something now, I have an error on one of the entry's, it reads:

A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/markers.xml'. Line 29, Po...

And I think I can see what's wrong if I read the markers.xml file....

This is the line with the error:
<marker mapid="29" title_map="Fred" lng="-3.5971641540527" lat="50.550280590038" userid="1245" username="Fred" text_map="blah blah blah" type="red" pimage="http://www.mysite.com/forum/vbgooglemapme.php?lat=50.55028059003783&lng=-3.5971641540527343" />
This is the next line and it works:
<marker mapid="30" title_map="bob" lng="-2.7019500732422" lat="52.040454864151" userid="2690" username="Fred" text_map="blah blah blah" type="red" pimage="http://www.mysite.com/forum/images/googlemapme/noimage.png" />

For some reason Line 29 has appended the lat and lng to the end of the pimage, not sure why, but I've corrected the line and all works perfect again and my Markers are back on display....... Towermatt, you're a Super Star, thanks a million!

[Ronseal]

Just to add to the above obviously just editting the markers.xml isn't going to fix much so I had to correct the error on line 29 within the database, it all seems to work now..... well at least for the moment!....

[towermatt]

I'm just glad to hear we got someone going. :nanadance:

I may have to come back and find out about that database fix if mine poops out again.

How did you correct the error?

[GeekDrew]

I just installed this a couple of days ago, and the first couple of users that tried to use it (other admins of mine, as I like to do extensive testing) managed to break the pins, because of the XML validation error that others have referenced as "running the XML file".

The cause of the problem is that the pimage link isn't being parsed safely for XML.

Here's a fix that I think will work (at least it works for me -- I do NOT guarantee this, if it causes spontaneous combustion, fire, death, etc., I'm not to blame):

*** I JUST SAID THAT I DO NOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK. I DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY. YOU MUST BACK UP YOUR DATABASE AND ALL OF THE FILES RELATED TO THIS MODIFICATION, SO THAT YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF NECESSARY. ***

In /forums/includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php:

Find:
while ($get_xml_marker = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($get_xml_markers))

Immediately ABOVE the text I have quoted, place the following text:


This quote has been removed because I failed to consider HTML rendering. See the text here, so that it is properly parsed: link (http://www.andrewmstemen.net/vbgooglemapme_hack.txt)


In the same file, find this:


if ($get_xml_marker["pimage"]!='')
{
$pimage = $get_xml_marker["pimage"];
}
else
{
$pimage = $bburl."/images/googlemapme/noimage.png";
}


Immediately BELOW the text that I have quoted, place this:


$pimage = parseToXML($pimage);


That should render all entities in the 'pimage' field safe for XML, so it will validate. However, that script is only called when the CRON job is executed... when someone edits their entry online, a different copy of that same script is called (which is really bad form, in my opinion, but hey, I didn't develop this...). That second copy is located at /forums/includes/functions_vbgooglemapme.php. You need to make the exact same changes in that file as I have mentioned above.

Now... I am not claiming that this will solve everyone's issues. It more than likely will not. It will, however, fix problems with 'pimage' being the reason that the XML won't validate. I think that this will probably fix the problems that quite a few of you are happening.

[msudawgs64]

ronseal, awesome find. Thanks for that post, I followed your posts and sure enough I had the same thing going on. I was able to edit both the xml file and then edited that entry in the database and now the pins show again. Thanks, I like the map and really did not want to uninstall it.

[Ronseal]

msudawgs64, It's not all good news I'm afriad!!!!
Although my old pins show any new pins added/edited are not showing even after I run the cron job. So maybe it's time to try GeekDrew's '$pimage = parseToXML($pimage);' fix?

[Julrou]

All you have to do is browse out to http://www.yoursite.com/forums/markers.xml

It is a file that came with the download for this mod and it should show any errors for links in read. Edit that entry on your map and it may bring the markers back.


Hum, when i go to http://www.informatiquefacile.eu/forums/markers.xml

i got a blank page... :confused:

[Ronseal]

Just got the following error with your fix Geekdrew, any ideas?
