Cosmetic change: fix of marker appearance in location editor. It will always look like the vbGoogleMap red marker, rather than Google Maps's default marker. Assumes the line numbering of the previous fix.

In product-vbgooglemapme.xml:

Line 863:
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point, icon));
to
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point, {icon:icon}));

Line 877:
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point));
to
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point, {icon:icon}));

ETA:

Another cosmetic change: fix of marker position on map:

Change all occurrences of

icon.iconAnchor = new GLatLng(...);
icon.infoWindowAnchor = new GLatLng(...);

to

icon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
icon.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(8, 1);

Coordinates are left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

lpetrich,

Since you obviously have the map working, do you think you could read posts 797-800 above and see if you could help us out with getting it going on 3.7.3. It seems to be a common problem and some of us are curious as to where we're going wrong with the install/configuration so that none of our pointers show up.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

You'd implemented ZeroHour's fix, I guess -- that's what I had done, and it had worked for me.

I had also edited markers.xml to get rid of troublesome XML-breaking characters in it, getting rid of ? and & and the like.

If you have Firefox, you can do some debugging with it by selecting
Tools > Error Console

Any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript errors will show up there.

If you are more adventurous, you can go to the Firefox add-ons page and install the JavaScript debugger and try to use it to see what's happening.

Yeah, I had done ZeroHour's fix to no avail. I also stripped down the xml file so the first line is <markers>, the next 2 lines are 2 markers I created on the map, then the file closes with </markers> Still doesn't load them on the main map. But, you can see the marker when you select "Your entry" which is odd.

When I ran Firefox's error console, it gave to errors in the css for "word-wrap" saying it was an unknown property and the declaration was dropped.

You could try displaying markers.xml in your web browser: <forum root address>/markers.xml

That will show what your browser "thinks" it is, and perhaps purge the browser's cached version of markers.xml

I remember editing it once, but some time after that, it got some bad image links again, so markers.xml may be created from the database. I think that it gets periodically re-created by vbGoogleMap's cron job; it also gets re-created after an entry creation or edit.

So you could go to
Admin CP > Vbgooglemap ME > ME Full View

and edit the possibly-troublesome entries, using markers.xml as a guide. By the time you read this, that cron job had likely restored markers.xml to the database value; you can run it again by going to
Admin CP Scheduled Tasks > Scheduled Task Manager > Googlemap ME Cron

and pressing "Run Now".

The two vbGoogleMap data tables in the database are:
googlemapme
googlemapme_settings

So you can try deleting those if you get desperate.

Some knowledgeable people here. A question if you do not mind. My site is in UTF-8 encoding in Cyrillic. Everything is good but tooltip encoding is messed up. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Thank You

Seems like some trouble in generating the HTML for the info bubbles.

Here's a kludge that will work:

Enter the Cyrillic text or special characters as HTML entities when editing an entry, characters in this form: &#<decimal>; or &#x<hexadecimal>; or &<name>;

It should be displayed in the info bubbles correctly. However, it'll get displayed as the translated characters the next time you go edit. Digging in the plugin code for how to take care of this mess will be rather difficult for me, however. However, I've prepared a kludge:

Create a translator page with this HTML code

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

<!--

function Make_HTML_Entities()

{

        var text = document.getElementById("TextInput").value;

        var uctext = ""

        for (var i=0; i<text.length; i++)

        {

                ucchr = "&amp;#" + text.charCodeAt(i) + ";";

                uctext += ucchr;

        }

        document.getElementById("TextOutput").innerHTML = uctext;

}

//-->

</script>

<table>

<tr>

<td>Text to be expanded:</td>

<td>

<input id="TextInput" type="text">

<input type="button" value="Go!" onclick="Make_HTML_Entities()">

</td>

</tr><tr>

<td>As HTML entities:</td>

<td>

<div id="TextOutput"></div>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

It'll turn whatever you had typed into HTML entities, which can then be used as input.

Same here as well. Did you happen to figure it out?

lpetrich

Rend Sever and MediaHound, had you tried ZeroHour's fix? It's post 697 here.

And when you run it, be sure to go to "Scheduled Tasks" in the AdminCP and run the vbGoogleMap cron job to refresh markers.xml

You can see if it has bad HTML by getting <forum root>/markers.xml on your web browser, and you can find out where the page execution bombs out with Firefox Tools > Error Console.

Thank you. It's a good manual solution, but when you have hundreds of users adding their info it becomes a liability. Unfortunately for right now I am unable to use this awesome mod due to the tooltip encoding issue.

lpetrich

11-04-2008 12:27 AM

I looked at the product file, and I found the editor page in it. It does a simple HTML submit-page operation, but I'd have to find which code receives the submitted data, and find that code's path from the submitted data to the database.

But once that is done, it should be easy to turn out-of-band characters into HTML entities with code like what I'd written.

I run in the postbit a link for each member that filled the map a link to his pin on the map. The earlier version of this mod that I was running allowed those links to work. The update I did no longer lets those links work. Example of a link:
http://www.forums.com/vbgooglemapme....865128&zoom=10
That type of link would zoom in to said location. Now its just as if I were to pull up vbgooglemapme.php without passing the variables. The variables in the URL don't have any effect anymore. I wish they would. Have you got an idea to fix this please? Thanks in advance!

lpetrich

11-04-2008 08:55 PM

I did some checking, and I found that

(vbGoogleMap page) >[List users] > (some user) > Show on map

has a URL syntax of

<forum root>/vbgooglemapme.php?lat=<latitude>&lng=<longitude>&z oom=<zoom>

like your link, MediaHound. I tried composing a URL with that syntax, but with nobody's location in it, and it worked fine on my site's vbGoogleMap installation.

So see what happens with "Show on map". If you have Firefox, I recommend going to Tools > Error Console, in case it's an error in the generated page.

MediaHound

11-04-2008 10:20 PM

Nope, when I click those as well (same link format), the map stays on:
"Currently viewing <is null>"
"Current Zoom level: 1" (meanwhile the URL dictates it should be 6, or 10, etc..)

715 markers on the map all seem to appear just fine.

Latitude and Longitude are not matching up between the page and in the URL.

Error console is reporting many instances of this:
Error: self._setBlockingState is not a function
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/notification.xml
Line: 262

Thanks again :up:

Ok, I opened my debug script and there was only one error in a javascript, something about forground or something. But I also edited the two php files and I still can't see all the member markers on the main map. However if I choose to edit an individual member I can see their marker on their own page.

11-10-2008 08:07 PM

I´ve added googlemap ME, everything looks fine, but when i set "your entry" and then "update" there´s no Marker on the map, then using a test account (all rights set)
doing the same, "your entry" but i couldn´t see a marker?

All files are in correct Maps, marker rights set "777" settings ok....whats wrong?
vb 3.7.3

Somebody an Idea?

lpetrich

11-11-2008 06:15 PM

effeff70, did you try ZeroHour's fix?

I suggest that after doing that, you run the vbGoogleMap cron job again; it's in Scheduled Tasks. It will regenerate markers.xml with the fixes.

You can look at markers.xml with your web browser by going to <forum root>/markers.xml -- check to see if there's anything that an XML parser might gag on, like a & or a ?

You can fix those bad characters by going to "List users" and then editing their entries to get rid of them. That'll update their entries in the database.

MediaHound

11-11-2008 06:23 PM

Anyone know how to make the old links work again to link to direct markers on the map?

Falcon Capt, thanx for that patch. But the original code works fine in my installation. However, I haven't had such trouble with my site's installation of vbGoogleMap -- the location syntax works fine with it:

<forum root>/vbgooglemapme.php?lat=<latitude>&lng=<longitude>&z oom=<zoom value>

Try composing a URL with some latitude, longitude, and zoom values and see what happens.

In reference to crkgb's troubles, I added some Cyrillic text to the description text by copying and pasting some Cyrillic text from a text field elsewhere (Dashboard auto-translator widget). I used this Russian phrase:

Где я? (Gde ya? -- Where am I?)

It showed up without any trouble -- I tested it on the most recent OSX Firefox, Opera, and Safari, and also the most recent Windows Internet Explorer. It may be that crkgb's installation of vBulletin had been set to use a different character encoding; mine (talkrational.org) uses vBulletin's default, as far as I can tell.

It's possible to HTMLize the text that one inputs in the editor page; that involves changing this code in in vbgooglemap.php:

$title_map = $db->escape_string(trim($vbulletin->GPC['title_map']));
$text_map = $db->escape_string(trim($vbulletin->GPC['text_map']));

to:

$title_map = $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars(trim($vbulletin->GPC['title_map']),ENT_QUOTES));
$text_map = $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars(trim($vbulletin->GPC['text_map']),ENT_QUOTES));

I tried that, and it turns the Cyrillic characters into HTML-entity text, which is displayed in that fashion:
#1043;#1076;#1077; #1103;?
(initial &'s removed)

So using this fix would require reverting ZeroHour's fixes back to the original, and then editing all the users' map info -- one can do that if one had set one's privileges appropriately in the usergroups editor. ZeroHour's fixes are for composing markers.xml from the database info; users' web browsers then read markers.xml to find out which markers to display. I found htmlspecialchars in this PHP string-function reference, along with other PHP text-conversion functions.

I am ever so grateful for this patch, good work. I would like to add to the record that in addition to the version upgrade of this mod, I did also do a server switch recently as well. As you experienced as well, I guess it may have been my server switch that caused this to stop working, not necessarily the version upgrade as I initially thought.

Good work once again Falcon Capt, bravo!

I have the same issue on another board I just did a version upgrade.
I upgraded the version from 2.5.x to the latest version and went to run the scheduled task when it choked on this error:

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:



Invalid SQL:

MySQL Error  : Unknown system variable 'NAMES'

Did you perhaps get it fixed yet wrang?

... all fixed.

To fix this SET NAMES error,
open /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php
find line 29:

Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_first("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

change to:

Code:

//$vbulletin->db->query_first("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

Fix: added the ability to choose "Terrain" as a default map type:

In vbgooglemapme_admin.php

After line 39:
'3' => 'Satellite',
add
'4' => 'Terrain',

In vbgooglemapme.php

After line 73,
change
if ($maptype == 1)
{
$map_type = "{mapTypes:[G_NORMAL_MAP,G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_HYBRID_MAP]}";
}
...
}
to
switch ($maptype) {
case 1:
$map_type = "G_NORMAL_MAP";
break;
case 2:
$map_type = "G_HYBRID_MAP";
break;
case 3:
$map_type = "G_SATELLITE_MAP";
break;
case 4:
$map_type = "G_PHYSICAL_MAP";
break;
}

In product-vbgooglemapme.xml

change
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("mapme"),$map_type);
to
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("mapme"));
and likewise for "memap" instead of "mapme".

After
map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);
add
map.setMapType($map_type);

I'd earlier described my terrain fix, which involves adding the line
map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);
after each instance of
map = new GMap2(...);

Fix:

Centers an image in the info balloon's "Image" tab. If the image is larger than the maximum allowed size in either direction, then it will be rescaled to fit.

In product-vbgooglemapme.xml

Line 550:
var content2 = "<img width=\"$gmimagemax\" border=\"0\" src=\""+pimage+"\"></a>";
to
var content2 = "<img style=\"max-width: {$gmimagemax}px; max-height: {$gmimagemax}px; display: block; text-align: center; margin: auto; vertical-align:middle\" src=\""+pimage+"\">";

Hello,

I have just installed this on my forum and it looks great so far. However, I'm having a problem when I try to manually run the cron from the scheduled task manager within the admin CP. this is the error I get.....

Quote:

Warning: main(********/forum/includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 110

Any ideas what I need to fix?

Thanks in advance. :)

I am having an interesting problem with this app. I installed it about 2 weeks ago and it worked great. Just today when I logged in none of the members locations are showing on the map. If you look at the member list they are still listed, but none of the pins or anything are loading on the map. It used to have the "Load: X of X" in the upper right, now it just says "Load:" with nothing behind it.

Any clue as to what happened? No settings or anything have been messed with since it was installed.
