this may have been answered already but
i have the map working fine
its just not showing anyone's location ... its just a map\

version 4.2.4

This plugin didn't work on the site of someone (didn't show any locations on the map) and I found the cause of it. In the cronjob file around line 75 where it does json_decode, a second argument (true) has to be passed so the object is converted to an array, else the is_array check after this line fails.

This probably doesn't happen on all PHP version, but on 5.4.16 I had to make this modification.

That's great. But... where is the cronjob file located? I checked on the server in the membermap folder, but there's just he php file there.

I checked in the admin under scheduled tasks, and nothing with 75 lines is there. Can't seem to find this file you are referring to.

Can you post the location?

Thanks.

Thank you for that.

One problem.... what is the exact code that needs to be put there?

I know vbulletin pretty well, but I'm not a coder. You say "a second argument (true)" needs to be put after the json code. But what is the the code for this argument?

[durham]

I'm just getting empty map on php 5.6 and vb4.2.4 so would welcome the exact change required in the posts above please?

Ive taken a guess at : $result = json_decode(curl_exec($ch),true);

let's see!

support request raised at https://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forums/member-map.204/

I've updated the .zip file here with the json_decode change as well as changing the API endpoint since the current endpoint will stop working on July 1.

Support is handled @ our site so any replies to this thread is likely to be missed.

I have looked through this thread but either I'm missing it or it hasn't been answered. Is there ANY way to search this map for a particular member? Because the IP location is often not accurate, it is often necessary to manually move your pin. When you have a LOT of pins however, it is almost impossible to find your pin if it is way off the mark. Hard to move it if you can't find it.

Got my answer on Dragonbytes site. Search is not an option and won't be added. I have removed this product.
