Do you have any other image maps running on your vba site????



this is my problem too....he is looking into it :) i have 3.5.4 and vba myself

[Parture]

How do we get our Avatars to show up? My Avatars are about 150 lengthwise. Is that why they don't show up?

[stonyarc]

Are you sure that you uploaded all the files in the upload folders.

It seems that your bitfields aren't correctly set.

Please upload all files and make sure you follow the instructions in the PDF file.


Moreover watch out with the case of the file name it's all lower now.

/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields can help to if the bitfield file is in the /includes/xml but that is normally automatic

If you are running the avatars from the filesystem you need to disable avatar support in the backend options or move your avatars to the database system.

I'm looking for a fix for that one.

[stonyarc]

I am using vb 3.5.4 and vba 2.1.0 and the marker will not show on the map page and it also shows no users.

Now I can see my marker on the Your Entry page.

Anyone know what could cause this?

Make sure you run it on the forum.

Can you post an accessible link so I can check?

[bigtomisin]

ok. i put the bitfields file in the includes and not the xml. my bad. thx for the help

[stonyarc]

No problem that's why we are here :rolleyes: :D

[bigtomisin]

ok, now when i set the permissions to yes for a user group and save, it gives me an error and stays to no.

Do you have a link for me??? because the defaults are all yes !!

Remove/uninstall and do a full reinstall please. Make sure you follow the instructions

[bigtomisin]

link? well this is the link to the map on the forum but all the user groups are set to no http://detourproduction.com/forum/vbgooglemap.php

[bigtomisin]

here is the error that comes up

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 635

[bigtomisin]

ok finally got it fixed. thx for the help.

[stonyarc]

Great, Enjoy !!!!

I just upgraded to v 2.0.1 but get a JavaScript error. You can see the error at this page:

I checked all my templates and none of them have been changed....

Did you always have the error ?

The error is on the read markers line

Did you change the write permissions to 777?

[Cajun]

Yes to all.

[Andy R]

YES you did change itOk, thanks for spotting the problem. It was not the template but actually vBSEO that has an option for the followingRelnofollow ALL Dynamic Pages
Enable this option to prevent search engines from following ALL dynamic links. Some examples are: 'Post Reply' links, 'Quote' links and 'Quick Reply' or 'Search' links. These pages have non-relevant (or "noise") content which should not be indexed by search engines , resulting in better SEO.Once I disabled that option then the JavaScript error was gone and everything is working great! Thanks!

[stonyarc]

Yes to all.

Can you try disabling the pager function?

I used your exact javascript code and it works.

[bashy]

Did you revert all 4 templates?

I would if the option was highlighted :(

I still have that popup showing :(

Me is lost :(

[bigtomisin]

i cant see the map after i installed it. i reverted the templates an still cant see it.

[bigtomisin]

<a href="http://detourproduction.com/forum/vbgooglemap.php" target="_blank">http://detourproduction.com/forum/vbgooglemap.php</a>

also how do i reduce the width of the map once i get it up?

[stonyarc]

http://detourproduction.com/forum/vbgooglemap.php

also how do i reduce the width of the map once i get it up?

In the vbgooglemap_display_map

<!-- map -->
<div width="800px">



<fieldset style="width:800px">



To the width you want

and


<div id="map" style="width: 800px; height: 400px;"></div>

to

<div id="map" style="width: 550px; height: 275px;"></div>

That should fix that.

Don't forget to click install !!!!

[gavinzac]

* gavinzac sighs

this was working fine yesterday but i've upgraded and now its giving me the "this API key was registered for somewhere else" error.
the key i'm using is for http://www.speakout.biz/forum .
the link to my google map is http://www.speakout.biz/forum/VBGooglemap.php

i've also tried registering a key just for www.speakout.biz but that doesnt work either.

[stonyarc]

All,

A little sample of things to come in 2.0.2

http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/images/sample02.jpg

This includes
- list pages for the members on the map with pagination
- tab support in the balloon
- !!!!!!!!!!! DIRECT LINK TO YOUR LOCATION !!!!!!!!!!!

This means users will be able to add a link to their signature, profile or somewhere else that will bring the one that clicks directly to the map with the set zoomlevel and the location of the user.

(This feature will be added to the 2.0.2 but is in fact intended for the hotspot edition).

The link should be http://www.speakout.biz/forum/vbgooglemap.php lower case because that has changed.

After seeing mateys post with regards to the same issue and then seeing your reply Stony, I have now sorted mine, I didnt quite understand about the VBGooglemap.php untill i see there was 2 of them on the ftp.....I edited the link and all is well, Thanks Stony :)

I take it i can remove the VBGooglemap.php one?

[bigtomisin]

that fixed the size but it still didnt show up on the sreen

oh, excellent, thanks. i hadnt realised, i set the FTP to overwrite everything.

[stonyarc]

Your problem is being caused by


<body onload="javascript:GetPos()">

As the googlemap requires an onload done by window.onload=Load_Map

These come into conflict as only one can be loaded.

I think it's the menu cookie from mkp

[gavinzac]

sorry to be a pain

Wow! I am thrilled to know I was able to make a contribution by planting the seed for this idea! ........ Of course you expanded on it beyond my vision! :up:

Having this cross-reference ability is really going to add quite a bit of functionality to this already awesome hack! Having the ability to link directly to hotspots in threads and have them in a list will be insane!

So am I correct that the hotspot edition will be a separate map that we can run on the same vb install? it would be nice to not have them cluttered with all the member markers.

Thanks again for this great community tool. I am organizing a symposium, and my users are using it to figure out carpools and group transportation by looking at where others are on the map!

Lance

[stonyarc]

Great ideas deserve credit Lance.


The hotspot version will of course not influence the member version. No interaction is planned.

As you can expect I'm integrating some of the features of the hotspot version directly in the member versions as they are of a true added value.

Look at the screenshots for more :banana: :banana:

Cajun the error doesn't make any sense.

He's looking for the marker in the XML but as you can see in the markers.xml its all there

The only thing out of the ordinary that I see is

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="DC Forums Home RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS" />

Can you please disable to test ? It might be causing the effect on the xml because it's in the xml get function

[Tyegurl]

stonyarc...can i ask a silly question lol i know i just did but really...

lets say i don't use super mods (cuz i don't) is there a way to change that pin name and usergroup to something else? like event? or would i have to change the usergroup to a useage at all? i guess i would seeing as there are no supermods....well unless i add myself to it....but that would interfere with my location right?

do you understand what i want to do? think there is a way to do it? i don't want to have 2 googlemaps...

guess i could set up another dummy user lol so to speak....

Gizmo,

This is a vbulletin error it's not directly googlemap related. Are all plugin settings correct?

Can you try reverting the 4 googlemap templates before uninstalling? That might help.
______________________

I see you got it working

Don't forget to change http://ducati-upnorth.com/forum/VBGooglemap.php to all lower case. VBGooglemap.php can be dropped.

[Gizmo999]

Sorry Stonyarc, i left the main post and edited the end bit just in case anyone else did had the same problem :D

I've now altered all the old upper case to lower case and sorted Navigation out ,reverted my custom templates ( no need for the extra CSS) and its all working again.

great hack and support, I can't wait for the event hotspots addition it'll make a big difference for my events forums.

Your defaults for the usergroup permissions are YES so if you change it the admin can't see it.

Do you get a no permission or just the page but without map?

You can set the color per group in the options normally.

If they are part of the standard groups everything should work out fine. Can you make sure the primary group is the standard and then it should be fine.

Why do you think I build in TAB support ;)

Well I thought you got bored.. ;) :D


One big problem using Safari 2.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.6:

When I try to update my location I have to use the doubleclick because otherwise the two input fields are not updated with the new location.
Which means: I scroll around the map but the latitude and the longitude remains the same.. Only when I doubleclick a certain location (to center it) the two fields are filled up with the new location. :)

With Firefox (the latest) using Mac OS X it is the same.. I can't even center a location with a doubleclick anymore.. :( When I doubleclick a location the map jumps to another location making it unable for me to find out my location. :(
I could only enter my location using the coordinates from another website.

When I click into the center of the map the whole map moves to the lower left if that helps to spot the error.
Doubleclicking 'France' moves the map so that Spain is on the upper right corner.

I checked the code and don't see a lot of potential causes for this behaviour.

I don't have a MAC to check it

I'm afraid it's the API itself.

there are a lot of changes in the V2 of the api. If I got the lat and lng mixed up somewhere the behaviour would be on all browser.

Double click to center is standard normal.

[Stephan Whelan]

Hey folks - is there any plans to add in an address / location lookup into this hack? I know there was previously a template hack for this but would be great if we could get it into the hack itself.

There is some strange behaviour in version 2.0.1

I'll let you know. Should be fixed in the next version.

[Kintaro81]

I'll try to add this as option in one of the next versions.

[stonyarc]

To set the Sattelite map as default.

1. open the vbgooglemap_display_map template



2. look for the line

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));

3. Replace that line by

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"),{mapTypes:[G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_NORMAL_MAP,G_HYBRID_MAP]});

4. Save

Have fun

Thanks for the feedback.

I did change some small things to the code that maybe causing the double move. I was doing an unneeded click detect in some parts of the code.

2.0.2. should included that fix.

[dvsDave]

I absolutely love this hack! It is a work of art and I can't wait for 2.0.2, when do you think that we will be seeing 2.0.2?

[stonyarc]

I have a general question for you all.

You know (or you don't and you know it now) creating stuff like the googlemap isn't the most easiest work there is. Just dig in the code and you'll know.

Why do some people bluntly remove any copyright notice without even having the courtesy of requesting it?

It's indicated in the file and in the thread that I want it to remain there except under special conditions and if permitted in writing.

I would hate to have to build in a "call home" functions to monitor all installations.

[MrNase]

Am I allowed to move the copyright notice somewhere else (bottom of the page for instance)? :)

[stonyarc]

Sure move it where you want but at least people should give some credit.

btw it's in the footer in 2.0.2

New little teaser


There is an online icon in the balloon but it will also be indicated on the marker itself if a user is online.

Well that is over the mark that google says is healthy but I keep on tuning the code.

There are people running 400 +

Not easy to find a solution for pagination

[Parture]

If you are running the avatars from the filesystem you need to disable avatar support in the backend options or move your avatars to the database system.

I'm looking for a fix for that one.

I don't know what the backend options are or how to move the avatars in the dabase. Could you give quick instructions for both these procedures please.

[Parture]

stonyarc,

Problem: In Your Entry, the old view of 2.01 and the new view in 2.02 are both showing at the same time. And in between is this text:

} -->

The lower map does not work, but the upper map works.

AND: the 3 strings do not show up.

[stonyarc]

I don't know what the backend options are or how to move the avatars in the dabase. Could you give quick instructions for both these procedures please.

The instructions are included in the pdf file

Go to admincp / Vbulletin Options / Vbulletin Options and select "vbgooglemap by StonyArc"

Enter your parameters or start with the defaults. Possible values and options are indicated in the description field.

On that page is an option to enable or disable avatar support in the googlemap.

As for Avatars and where they are stored

Go to admincp / Avatars / User Picture Storage Type

If you see a page with "Move Items from Database into File System" that means that your images are stored in the database. This is the default of vbulletin

If you see another page there is an option to load your images back.



So if you don't see avatars that can be caused by
- the option you have set in the backend of vbgooglemap
- avatars are stored in the filesystem

[stonyarc]

I am stuck on these instructions: "Go to your entry?on the googlemap (you have to logged in) If you haven?t set your marker before the form will detect that. If you did enter the information you?ll see 3 text input boxes on top of the smaller map. The third on gives you the full URL to your location".

I have logged in. I don't see 3 text input boxes at the top of a smaller map. I see in Your Entry, to the left of the smaller map, a 3rd textbox for the Marker Text. There is my marker text there, no URL.

Help.

You will have to revert the templates as indicated in the file.

Follow the red instructions included in the pdf.

In the new version the buttons are in the center and not to the left.

[stonyarc]

stonyarc,

Problem: In Your Entry, the old view of 2.01 and the new view in 2.02 are both showing at the same time. And in between is this text:

} -->

The lower map does not work, but the upper map works.

AND: the 3 strings do not show up.

You need to revert ALL 4 templates indicated.

'VBGOOGLEMAP'
'vbgooglemap_display_map'
'vbgooglemap_display_yourlocation'
'vbgooglemap_set_yourlocation'

[Parture]

stonyarc,

Problem solved. I accidently reverted the template and made a double copy of it.

stonyarc,

Only a link shows up in postbit that does the same thing as clicking on the User Name instead of going directly to the map. That would be neat if that could be done. And in the Profile page the link is given. It would be nice for an automatic link too. Maybe.

That's not really easy to display automatically

In the pdf there is a howto to display the information in the postbit. It has to be by user choice because of privacy

Move Items from Database into File System
Images are currently being served from the database

But the Avatars are not showing up.

You have certainly gone to town on Googlemaps, I can't wait to implement it on my site, but I'm holding off for the HotSpot Edition. Will details be posted in this thread or a new one? Have you started on it? and if so do you have a possible date for release?

I would suggest not to wait.

The hotspot edition will be based on 2.0.2

The version is already in development as we speak. The maps will be able to run next to each other but have a whole different functions. There are no plans to make them interact in any way because there is no added value.

The hotspot edition will launch in a full separate mode.

I expect to release first beta in the next 2 weeks somewhere. Depending on the dayjob workload and my xbox life (no not gaming but development:cool: )

The missing pins are the normal members or are they special ones. And what is the color of their pin?

Upgraded from 1.03....
(note - templates were not modified - no option to revert)

Have the following issues:

1) No dashboard showing up above map.
2) Default zoom is not changing inspite of changing it in vbcp.
3) profile links only showing up for admins/mods - no one else.
4) no avatars or online status showing up. (avatars are being served from database)

I uploaded all files and overwrote product with new one.... not sure what I missed! Thanks in advance...

[Gizmo999]

nope i get the questionmark missing image still on a new entry.

its not a missing member, the member shows correctly with a new pin but alongside it is a blue box with ? in, this is usually a missing image in safari, its tried to load the image but can't find it. not sure why safari is the only broswer affected.

[yinyang]

Is there any way to make the map default on Satellite? if so, how? thx!

[Roms]

Thanks, I'll try it out. :)

[yinyang]

possible bug:

i created a test account to try out another usergroup's markers. once i was satisfied with that usergroup, i deleted my test account. however, that test account's marker still stayed on the map.

i could only get rid of it by going into phpmyadmin and deleting the user from the googlemap table.

To set the Sattelite map as default.

1. open the vbgooglemap_display_map template



2. look for the line

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));

3. Replace that line by

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"),{mapTypes:[G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_NORMAL_MAP,G_HYBRID_MAP]});

4. Save

The marker information is indeed kept in a separate table.

Deleting a user in the main usertable will indeed keep the user in the googlemap table.


This will be fixed by adding a backgroup admin page with listings and maintenance options.

I don't want to change any core code to support this.

That did it. Thanks Stony. Everything works!

By the way, before I started messing around I did notice that the display_map template was capitalized a bit - 'VBGooglemap_display_map' instead of 'vbgooglemap_display_map.' I am not sure what the deal was there. I changed it to lowercase.

That's indeed sometimes an issue with the API itself.

The local data loads faster than the api data so the bottom size isn't correct.

Can you check if you see usergroup permission in your usergroup manager?

If not, you didn't upload all files correctly so please do so and in the correct directory.

The instruction in the pdf should help you with that

In addition you need to reinstall the plugin also to force a rebuild of the usergroup bitfields.

I saw you on the site just now, I changed that usergroup to be able to view the map, so please check it again.

As you are using custom template they should be

One thing that bothers me a bit: On every update I have to re-upload the product file but that means all my translations are lost. Isn't there a way to prevent it? If you split up the language part I'll send you my German translation so that you can put it into the downloadable archive. :)

And now some things that came into my mind on upgrading my map:

The templates still are quite messy and at some point the even don't validate as XHTML anymore.
You are using '<BR>' instead of '<br />' and 'readonly' instead of 'readonly="readonly"'
The styling of the textboxes can better be done with CSS.

Besides that I have an idea to further improve the phrase support:
From what I see there are 4 places in the code where you are using an alert and those alerts are all hardcoded. :)
vB is using a method where the PHP variable is passed to a JS variable making it possible to use phrases in the JS code.

And speaking of the JS code: Wouldn't it be easier to make a new file with all the Javascript instead of placing them directly into the template?


Tell me what you think about my comments! :)

Your marker is somewhere in northern syberia. it's because of the default zoom you don't see.

I can't confirm it's working! :(

When I am on the main page and I scroll around the 2 input fields with the coordinates do change. But when I want to add/edit my location and I scroll around the map the values of the 2 fields don't change and thus my location isn't updated when I click 'update'.

Even when I change the zoom level the input field containing the zoom level still has '6' as a value.


I tried it on Safari and Firefox (the latest) and it didn't work..

Edit:

This must be an Mac OS X thing.. I tried it on Windows XP using the Internet Explorer and it worked fine. I am now going to install Firefox on Windows just to be sure. :)

It must be a Firefox/Safari problem.. I have the same problems with Firefox running on Windows XP.

work around for you is to delete your entry and reset. The insert doesn't have the problem

There is a small name error with name and id in the display map IE ignores that but FF doesn't

Cheers for the update Stony, What was the issue please?

Well,

If you dynamically set form elements IE uses the name field and firefox needs the ID field.

So you have to set both equal in the code

In the URL form element in de vbgooglemap_display_yourlocation there was a difference in the name and id attribute of the tag so firefox was trying to update the wrong element which already existed on the page but hidden.

Because firefox cannot update two form elements with the same name/id he just stops updating anything.

Make sure you upload all the files in the upload folder including the bitfield for the permissions.

If you do just reload the product-vbgooglemap.xml with overwrite to yes and the bitfields will be rebuild

Did you upload all files?

Do you see usergroup permissions in your usergroup manager?

If so try to log out

I think you forgot to upload all files.

Please follow the instructions included in the psd

yes all files are uploaded and i see he usergroup permissions...

[EasyTarget]

maybe this has already been suggested, but could you make it so we can add locations that aren't users (like say the location of the server) or allow certain usergroups to have more than one entry?

I have 151 users on my googlemap page here (http://www.tokyo-nights.com/forum/vbgooglemap.php), yet refreshing the page doesn't always show all 151 users. Additionally, a former super mod is still listed as such on the map (Rody; he's in the Netherlands), and none of my regular mods are shown for some reason.

Additionally, a former super mod is still listed as such on the map (Rody; he's in the Netherlands), and none of my regular mods are shown for some reason.

There is no direct link yet so the users has to click update on his entry once if the usergroup changes.

As for the moderators, they should be mod as primary usergroup.

Can you please check?

Are they not listed as normal users?

[Omega Prime]

I do have them as a primary usergroup, yet I still don't see them listed. Also, is there any idea about how come refreshing the page sometimes doesn't show all users? I sometimes don't even see myself there (I'm in Rhode Island), so I dunno if it's a glitch in the program or the browser I use (firefox).

[username12]

First report I get

You can set the color per group in the options normally.

If they are part of the standard groups everything should work out fine. Can you make sure the primary group is the standard and then it should be fine.

Imported from where?

My supermods managed to get around it by simply updating their entries. My imported admin usergroup (imported from UBB) are still listed as normal members, though.

Starting from 150 + the script does take some time to place all the markers. The faster your server the faster it should go.

But there is a clear volume warning in the main page.

Can the mods see their "your entry" page and they taken to the update or insert page?

Can you please check what ID your moderator group is ?

[Tyegurl]

okay i have a request or two....

when ballons are right on top of eachother is there a way to distinguish them or rather can there be one? ( i have a problem with this lol obviously. my forum states 8 users but only 7 balloons. finally noticed a slightly darker and wider edge to a balloon. have to click just right to bring the member up.)

maybe a solution would be to list the members somewhere or the member groups and then the members like a drop down menu or something...then when you click on the member their balloon will glow or blink or something crazy to get your attention....

[Trana]

Mine never seems to show anyone, I let it sit and load for a while too.

I can see myself when I click on Your Entry, but only then.

Changing the default zoom in the backend will allow a better visibility.

markers.xml shouldn't be displayed...should it?

you need to point your browser at vbgooglemap.php...

[stonyarc]

And yes, it should render as xml eg: http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/forums/markers.xml

There might be a data issue.

Can you please attach the xml file?

Also remove any old VBGooglemap.php you might have and make sure you reverted the templates if they were changed

[stonyarc]

Sorted.

For some strange reason (unrelated) I must have mess up my apache settings, I needed to add back in xml (using addtype) and all is well.

:surprised: :banana: :rolleyes:

Nice it worked all out.

The code for special chars does normally take care of all the data posibilities
so I'm happy it works now.

524 users and it still loads nicely. Nice to see that.

I really think it's a config issue on IIS or php config issue on IIS.

It's not normal that a plain xml file like markers.xml is unreadable on your server

In attachment 2 test files please upload them and see if they show empty too.

If they show up empty, your server/php config maybe the issue.

Also check if the .htaccess hasn't got a xml entry somewhere in it that sets xml applications.

That flexibilty is plannend for 2.0.3 or 2.0.4.

There was a typo in the avatarwidth setting. The version now only is fixed. Just reimport the xml with overwrite to yes

You'll have to dig in the code for that one now (not that easy)

I have linux and apache but for some reason xml file types were not included in the httpd conf files (?!) so I just had to add them in again. No idea why they were removed in this case, I might have even done it myself for some strange reason. :eek:

It's already indicated in this thread a few times but the thread is getting too big.

I'm thinking of asking the mods to prune.

in the vbgooglemap_display_map

Look for

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"),{mapTypes:[G_NORMAL_MAP,G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_HYBRID_MAP]});


Change to

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"),{mapTypes:[G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_NORMAL_MAP,G_HYBRID_MAP]});

that should fix it

[S@NL - BlackBik]

Thanks a lot.
I just moved "G_HYBRID_MAP" upfront and that's my default now.
I did a search in this thread on "hybrid", but i didn't find this sollution.
Thanks for spelling it out ones more :)

You can build your style around it.

The version 2.0.2 stores the markers locally so you can even create your own markers as long as you respect the filenames.

Try uploading the version 2.0.2 now online. There have been some minor changes.

There was a naming issues in the update screen which was causing the effect your describing.

Just handle it as a normal update like in the pdf only the template xml needs to be uploaded and overwrite to yes

As it's indicated in the text above the map it does require a double click as I want the single click to be free for future use.

Sorry about that. It's needed for some cool new thingy I'm trying to create

Can't wait to get my hands on it !!

Keep up the good work

[devguru]

stonyarc, I have a Googlemap vbulletin plugin in my forum too. It's a little different from yours:

1) it uses Google Map wrapper class for google map API: PHP GoogleMapAPI
http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/GoogleMapAPI/
2) it has the of geocoding ability (the ability to convert a street address to latitude and longitude , for example support a Canadian Postal Code or Address for eg. M2J 3R7 or 277 Wellington Street West Toronto )
3) it supports query information by distance.

you can see these functions in this website:
http://www.iask.ca/

I am not sure to release this as a new vBulletin plugin, do you like to intergrate them into your code?

[stonyarc]

Devguru,

Thanks for the tip.

And I'm writing all this code ;) It's a good training.

There is a slight problem with the class. It's not API v2 compliant as the vbgooglemap is since the V2.0.0. I'll have a check if I can rewrite the class to make it compliant as google will discontinue v1 somewhere in the future. I was even writing my own class so I think I'll probably integrate it if you don't mind. There's not a lot of point in multiple mods doing the same things.

vbgooglemap has also support for custom markers

I'll release hotspot edition as is and take it from there. Address support isn't possible on a global scale so that's not integrated in the vbgooglemap. It would be nice but there's the privacy thingy again.

There are some sites that offer global address support but these are paying services where you have to pay for each query you launch so that's not a possibilty. Moreover the database for global support is HUGE.
Hotspot Edition will do just that and even more. Thanks for asking.

If you click your entry on the Member Edition you'll see that this is already supported. So yes, it's also supported in the HSE

I even released a how to for the postbit integration.

You can change the default view standard in code but additionally the vbgooglemap also lets you create your own marker images if you want (/images/googlemap)

The core map remains the same and is of course google technology.

Hi stonyarc,

great extension, my forum-members love it ;-).

One remark:
a lot of the users try to enter their coordinates directly and use the wrong strings with the degree chars like: 47.6833 / 47° 40' 60

Then I get error-mails:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO googlemap (userid,username,usergroupid,text_map,lat_map,lng_ map) VALUES ('1120','testuser','2','Testuser','47.6833 / 47° 40' 60'' ...','9.83333 / 9° 49' 60''');

Would it be possible to check the form for degree chars with JavaScript when the forum is submitted?

I also need a filter-feature that would allow the user to show only the markers of a certain usergroup. Is that possible? I`d sponsor this one, just drop me a line.

groetjes,
Sacha

Hi,

I just updated the smallhelp phrase in german, maybe it`s useful for someone else
Ermittle den L?ngen- und Breitengrad deines Wohnortes durch Vergr?sserung (zum Vergr?ssern einfach den Schieber auf der Skala nach oben bewegen und ggf. in die Satellitenansicht wechseln) und hin- un herziehen der Karte mit gedr?ckter linker Maustaste. Ein DOPPELKLICK zentriert die Karte punktgenau z. B. auf deinem Wohnhaus. Nach Eingabe der richtigen Koordinaten brauchst du nur noch das Textfeld auszuf?llen und auf "Aktualisieren" zu klicken. M?glicherweise ist es wesentlich einfacher, wenn du die Koordinaten deines Wohnortes hier: http://www.fallingrain.com/world/GM/ heraussuchst und direkt in die Eingabefelder links einf?gst. Dabei aber bitte beachten, dass immer nur der erste Wert eintragen wird. Also bei L?ngengrad z. B. "9.83333" und bei Breitengrad z. B. "47.6833".

I think this link: http://www.fallingrain.com/world/ could be added to the original phrase as it contains all coordinates of all towns worldwide (don`t know if it`s really true).

Ciao,

I think you may have forgotten to upload all the files. make sure you upload all files in the upload directory.

Also revert all templates and install the product xml with overwrite to yes.

That will rebuild the bitfields once you have uploaded the files.

HSE News,

To set the markers in Hotspot edition you'll just have to click once a marker will be inserted and the map will autocenter.

This will be integrated in the Member edition too.

I'm building it in Hotspot Edition and I'll integrate it in 2.0.3 which is about planned for this weekend

Other big news:

The set your location from HSE will be build in 2.0.3.

This uses a single click to add a real marker on the small map and autocenters it so that no more mistakes can be made.

click on another location removes the old marker and place a new one on the new location with a center to that spot.

You want hotspot to be ready do you ::bandit:

yup, we do :D, no problem with size of copyright from me, the work you put in really is appreciated and deserves credit.
