Hi Oliver,

as I had a problem with version 2.0.5 I installed the new version 2.0.9 but I have the same problem. Greyed-out map with an error message from Google. Using the FF browser console, it gives me 2 links in regards to the API keys for google maps

[developers.google.com]
[developers.google.com]

Where should I look or what can be done from my site ?

Thank you.

New version:

2016-09-27 v2.0.9 by Oliver Riesen-Mallmann 

    - Fixed missing marker images. The module uses now locally
      stored images.

    - Switched to new "google-style" marker images.

    - TODO extended.

    - Fixed a malformed anchor tag introduced in previous version.

Hi,

I'll have a look...

Hello,

I have a problem with this module. I don't know when, but from many months there is no more color around numbers on map. When there are more than 1 person on a same zone. I just have white numbers, and it's difficult to read.

Am I the only one who have this problem ?

I tried with Firefox and IE11.

Have you been asked by your browser whether you give permission to reveal your current location? Just a thought..

In my case it was the improper handling of https (hard coded http...). I publish an updated version 2.0.6.

Yes, it would be very tiresome, but the api.php script file has a conversion function on board that can be used for converting the old data format to the new format: mod_google_maps_upgrade_userdata

Thanks Maurice, it's good to know there is conversion code I can access.

Did you write a conversion script?

Oliver

Hi Maurice,

I'm using Phorum 5.2.20 and try to update your module from 1.1.7 to 2.0.5.

The module doesn't work for me.

If I go to the control center no map is shown and search gives me only a grey background with a moving circle...

Any idea?

Regards
Oliver

Re: Module: Google Maps, german language file missing variable

gelbeseiten — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:59:52 -0500

the above mentioned problem is fixed.
When using the german language file "german.utf-8.php the following variable is missing and therefore the module doesn't work as expected and is not showing the link in the user's profile.

One has to add

'CCMenuItem'          => 'Standort',

and all is working fine.

Find attached the corrected german.utf-8.php
Maurice, maybe you will find time to put a corrected german.utf-8.php in the downlaod.

Hello Maurice,

we have Phorum 5.2.19 with googlemaps 2.0.5 installed. Using custom templates, we created new directories named after the custom templates in \mods\google_maps\templates\ournewtemplate and copied the original template files from the supplied emerald directory into those new created directories.

"Display automatically in the user's profile" is activated. Unfortunately, there is no link shown under the "Options" menue, like here at phorum.org, nor any google map or form to enter the users location is shown.

Looking through the phorum event logger we found the following entries.

Additional details:

Message:

PHP notice: Undefined index: CCMenuItem

PHP notice generated at \forum\cache\tpl-ModernBlau2-google_maps__cc_menu_item-aa5503ad7c853fddc750a21c91705808.php-stage2:16

Purging the cache didn't help. Where should we look at ?
What kind of additional information do you need ?

Thank you for any help to get this working.

The module does not provide a conversion tool for converting all existing users. There is on the fly conversion on a per-user basis in there. The function could be used to implement a total user base conversion.

That's interesting, as this doesn't seem to be working for me. Any idea why that may be the case? Is my data structure too old possibly? (example data above).

I have just upgraded from version 1.1.7 to 2.0.5 and my "View User Locations" screen showed: "Sorry, no user locations available yet"
I then read the readme(!) and disabled the mod, deleted it and uploaded the latest version again but it didn't fix the issue.
I've just set my own location in my profile and now my user map shows my location only.
Have I inadvertently wiped hundreds of user locations by upgrading without disabling the module first :(.

EDIT:
OK, I have searched for all custom profiles with a type of 17 which seems to be the map module type in my install.

My new location looks like this:

P_SER:a:13:{s:13:"map_longitude";d:-0.271521500000080351355791208334267139434814453125;s:12:"map_latitude";d:52.22809449999999031888364697806537151336669921875;s:8:"map_zoom";d:12;s:8:"map_type";s:9:"satellite";s:16:"marker_longitude";d:-0.271521500000062587787397205829620361328125;s:15:"marker_latitude";d:52.228094499999997424311004579067230224609375;s:20:"streetview_longitude";N;s:19:"streetview_latitude";N;s:18:"streetview_heading";N;s:16:"streetview_pitch";N;s:15:"streetview_zoom";N;s:14:"geoloc_country";s:14:"United Kingdom";s:11:"geoloc_city";s:8:"St Neots";}

My old user's locations look more like this:

P_SER:a:4:{s:6:"center";s:41:"(21.286295344637022, -157.69383788108826)";s:6:"marker";s:41:"(21.285935456000253, -157.69434213638306)";s:4:"zoom";s:2:"15";s:4:"type";s:6:"hybrid";}

I'm already predicting that it is possible but tiresomely difficult to batch-convert the old format to the new...

Any advice appreciated.

Hello,

It's a language mistake. I don't understand your sentence. I thought "View userS location" and no "View user locationS"...

Thanks for your help. It works.

Using this module, each users profile has a map with their personal location.

And then there is a community map page with all user locations on one world map.

It's really cool.

From the README

3.6 Linking to the user map
 ---------------------------

  For linking to the user map, the template variable
  {URL->MOD_GOOGLE_MAPS_USERMAP} can be used. So a basic link could
  be put in your templates like this:

  View user locations

Please explain what you do not understand here. All you need to do is update for example the header.tpl in your template to add the link to the page header.

Hello,

I read all this thread 2 times, and I read the README file many times, and I'm still searching where is the map with all my phorum users :/

I install this awesome module for the first time. I enable it and modify my own profile.

But now, I'm searching how adding a link to the map with all my users like Robert Angel do...

Can somebody help a lost french user ? ;)

Thanks

The fact that you ignore requests to test unhacked code (this was not the first time) is plain annoying, no matter how much you appreciate the work.

Re: Module: Google Maps

korsakov — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:15:17 -0500

I was under the impression that it had worked before since I had this code in there for a while. Otherwise I certainly would have tested it without the hack. I might send a "notice" but never a "complaint" since I appreciate all your work!

Re: Module: Google Maps

Maurice Makaay — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:07:58 -0500

So you were running a hacked version after all? Please always check an unhacked version before complaining that things don't work.

Re: Module: Google Maps

korsakov — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:04:49 -0500

Module works fine.

PS: I found the problem. With IE you cannot dump content into a table using "innerHtml" as I tried within plotter.php. Only Div's work. Sorry about the confusion!

Re: Module: Google Maps

Maurice Makaay — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:03:08 -0500

That's like saying: "When I delete the module, the error disappears". I find it a really unusable bug tracking comment.

Now tell me: are you running a fresh unhacked version of the module right now? It works for you on this board, it should work on another install as well.

Re: Module: Google Maps

korsakov — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 07:33:37 -0500

It supposed to serve as a hint in order to better locate the possible issue. When I take out these lines, the error message in IE8 disappears.

Re: Module: Google Maps

Thomas Seifert — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 03:37:27 -0500

that is php code, not browser code and therefore not browser specific.

Re: Module: Google Maps

korsakov — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:36:33 -0500

This apparently is the problem zone within api.php for IE8:
[code="php"]
// Grab the map code.
ob_start();
include dirname(__FILE__) . "/maptool/{$maptool_type}.php";
$maptool = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
[/code]

Any ideas?
