Do you have your groups set properly in your settings?

Under setting I removed the 5,6,7 and put back 7

That is a board leader.

On the map it shows a bunch of reds. About 20 of them. But we only have 2 leaders. I even removed all numbers from settings and it still showed same number of reds. Does it cache somewhere or something.
This is a very private site for pregnancy issues. I hate to post a link to it.
Thank you.

It caches the location (long/lat), but not the colors... so not sure what could be causing it to be honest.

I went to option - settings -digital point map.

I removed all usergroups and save.
I should have no red pins.

I took a smapshot of the map.

Can I fix the usermap.php to not select any group and see what happens?

I wonder if the reds could somehow be the guest visiting the site. Is there anyway I can check that? Maybe output the ids or something on the map page to see what is says. I get so many reds it acts like they are the guest.

Do you have any of them set to the Admin or Mod secondary usergroups by chance?

Could my session table be corrupt? WOuld it hurt to empty session table?

Right now I don't have anything in the box. If I have nothing in the box it shouldn't show any red pins right?

Okay. Strange. I emptied my session table.
Now all I see is two red pins. One in china and one in California.
The one in china is the chinese search engine bot Baidu and the other is the google search bot.
Why does the usermap show them with a red pin?

here is a snapshot of my usermap and session table
The id 2999 is me

It looks like the bots are user id 0
Why are they showing as admins?

Are you running a cache on your server? And did you clear your browser cache?

no cache on server.
I cleared browser cache.
I can delete all sessions in table and all pins go away
Strange.

What do you have set for the cookie timeout?

The code itself doesn't look at secondary usergroups, so you can rule that out.

Let's see if it's the setting first of all...

In your usermap.php file, if you change this:

to this:
It should barf out an array of usergroup IDs that it thinks should be mods/admins.

When I tried this it came up with the correct userid.

Update:
I did nothing. The map started working. I have no idea.

The session table must gave gotten cleared out okay.

Any ideas.?
My host says they do support it.

Thanks

They are wrong. :)

lmao..

Is there something i need to do to upload or enable it or something, or do you really just think they lied to me.? lol (not that i doubt they would lie, im just asking)

I'm not saying they lied to you... just that they are mistaken about it being installed. Probably they thought they installed it, but for whatever reason it's not installed properly.

You could try a stand-alone PHP file with any of these functions...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.geoip.php

If the server tells you that the function isn't available, well... it's not available/installed.

The simplest one would probably just the be the call to get info about the geotargetting database:

If that PHP file throws an error, ask your hosting provider why that would be if it's installed. :)

for some reason this plugin didn't work for me. I just get a blank page.

I installed the Spy and Thread Avatars and both are working fine but not this one.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function geoip_record_by_name() in /home/arabdeaf/public_html/usermap.php on line 100 ?

Do you have GeoIP installed on your server?

I need to wait next version of GeoIP to be installed on my server. They told me that

Why did they tell you to wait?

Geoip has had security issues and we're waiting on the new release to install

This is the first I have heard about it. I've had it installed on the server for quite awhile now with no complications. Sounds like someone is giving you a line, for whatever reason.

I'll wait what else can i do

Not much else you can do, other than to start looking for a new host. ;)

Yep... no way to magically make it work on a server without the extensions installed (well... maybe not *entirely* true... but the other options are way more work than it's worth).

no. i'm very satisfied with urljet

URLJet told you GeoIP had security issues? I'd like to know what they found and where they found it then because as far as I know, they are the only ones reporting any issues.

Would love to have something like this for my club forum. Is it possible to restrict the map view to a state?

It is probably because i'm currently on shared server. I think it will work after i move to vps and dedicated

This application is working great now.

If a person is not on the map can I manually add their IP somewhere and it show on the map?

No, it only shows people who are online now and pulls their IP for geotargeting from the session table.

While I got you here I wanted to thank you for the program. It is nice.

I can click on the online users link and see this user's IP address. 98.249.54.16
When I lookup the IP it shows culpepper virginia
On the map no pin is any where near virginia.
Does that mean the ip is not in the geoipcity.dat file?
So I couldn't add to the usermap.php 98.249.54.16 and show this pin on the map?

Could be part of the cache... if the user is hoping IPs (from a proxy) or something. Any way you could ask the user?
