It isn't on the mod site, though, you have to download the files in that post. I used this for my forum and it works fine for 1.1 Beta 3.

Hi.
I know my vision is not that good any more now that I am so old, but I don't seem to find those files any more, did they get removed, or am I just blind?

the files are there...   but you have to be logged in to see attachments.

Sorry, my session must've expired by the time I got to that post. I see the files now. Thanks.

When I try to download the additional maps for 1.1b3 it gives my a file that's 0KB...  Anybody have an alternative address?

There are some bugs with opera / mozilla browsers, and there are some bugs with code, but once i finally made it work, i can say that I'm very satisfied with it...

[!Hachi!]

how i can uninstall this?there is uninstall.php     but nothing in package manager

Ok I've posted a new version. I don't remember if it has new features or bug fixes as its been a while since the last release.

This new one will only work with 1.1 Beta 3 Public.

I have some ideas for a new version but it will likely be a lot of work and I won't have time to even think about starting that until the fall.

If you're considering a new version, can I make some suggestions for it?

Here goes anyway:

• Other regional map splits, e.g: SE Asia; Indian Sub-Continent; Middle East, etc.
  
• Major city names on the maps?
  
• Location flag showing city and country
  
• Location from the profile to be nationality
  
• Current location if different from nationality - basically, I'm from here, but now I'm there. Picking this from the logged in IP would be one possibility, but you don;t necessarily want to track people as the log in while travelling on holiday, so i'm thinking more of ex-pat workers or emigrants.
  

I'm using the map on SMF 1.0.5 - very nice mod.

Those are some good ideas, kinda wish I thought of some of them.  I especially like the first two and the last one.  There's already a flag for the country and I don't understand why you'd want a flag for a city...to my knowledge cities don't have their own flags but in the US states do.  I also think that'd be hard to get and implement even if you did provincial/state flags.  Country flags seem to be sufficient but the other ideas are nice.

¨Hi !
I tryed to mod it manually but I got this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in XXX\Themes\default\index.template.php on line 453
What I have in line 453 is the text I copied from  the changes according to the install.xml file:


<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=mm">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/mm.gif" alt="' . $txt['mm_mm'] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt['mm_mm']), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
            
It really looks diferent in colours (wich I think means something is wrong) but I don´t figure WHAT...
Could u please help?

Thanks

I don´t know if what I did was right but at least it made my forum come alive again.

I noticed that there was one

echo'
than it acame  a comment
//
than another
echo'
So I deleted the second one and added it between the next two lines.


It appeared a link to member map by the menu, but when I clicked in it it said that it could not find the files membermap.php and membermap template.
I checked and it was really not there, so I upploaded them to the source directory.

Now I get this: An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'MemberMap' template.

Could anyone give me any advice please? I am so excited to start using this mod. It is maybe the 23rd time I try it But now it looks like something is happening

Thanxz!

More errors:

Everybody (including myself) that tryes to read their Personal Messages get this error.
Database Error
Table '5051-1.smf1_mm_pins' doesn't exist
XXX\forum\Sources\Load.php

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum files are currently at version SMF 1.0.5, whereas your database is at version SMF 1.0.2. It is recommended that you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

AND:

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the \Themes\default/Display.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP



***It looks like it should have created a table but I don´t know wich are the parameters to use. Once again I have to ask - Can someone help me to fix this?

You should be running SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public for this verison of the mod. What version are you running?

[Sylander]

Hello,
I've tried this a few times and can't seem to get it to work.  I'm currently running 1.0.5 and have modified the XML to install on this version but still get version incompatibilities.  Is there an archive of older mods which will work with this version or am I stuck having to upgrade to a newer version of SMF?  Getting the:

Code Select Expand

9. Execute Modification ./Sources/Load.php Failure
10. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs-Members.php File not found
11. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php Success
12. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs.php Failure


*edit*
Ok, I've given up on getting it to work with 1.0.5 and upgraded.  I completely wiped board, reinstalled 1.0.5 and upgraded to beta 1.1b3.  Installs for all 3 packages went perfectly but now whenever I click on the Membermap button the index page just reloads without loading the membermap.  I've completly restarted all IE instances to clear caches, etc. Anyone have ideas?

[JustJa]

I am running 1.0.5...
I´ll try to update it.

This is an amazing mod, great job  My members and I really like this.

[perplexed]

Does this mod display a flag under the poster's name in posts also ie where the avatar, karma, no. of posts etc are displayed.

If so, then mine isn't doing that

Also some members seem to have problems placing a pin on the map and getting it to work?

[^Raven^]

Further back in this thread someone mentions how to place the pin.  But, I'll re-iterate.

People must go into the Member Map.  There you will see in bold black letters, "PLACE YOUR PIN."  Click that.

Now, the page will refresh/reload and you'll be able to place your pin anywhere on the map.  After you place the pin, type in your City in the appropriate white space and then choose your Country from the list.
Now, click on the button that says "Save My Pin."

If you do this in the wrong order it won't work.  To my knowledge you place the pin first and then do City and Country.  But, doublecheck that because it has been ages since I've placed my pin.  If it doesn't work in this order, do your City and Country first and then place your pin.  Hope this helps.

Tau Online, I see you have a Tau/40k forum.  You may want to check mine out too.  We cover 40k but we do a lot of other gaming.  Fantasy, the other GW games, Mongoose Publishing (aka Starship Troopers), Warmachine, and a lot of others.  You may get some fun ideas and we could always swap links.  PM me here and we'll talk.

Thanks, I have given instructions to that effect to my members and it still doesn't allow them to do it.

I have mine in place but I don't see a flag next to my posts, is this meant to happen?  I am trying to ascertain if there is something wrong with it or if I am expecting it to do something that it is not supposed to do.

If I click on the 'who's online' I see flags next to people, including guests, so that does not seem to be related to the member map?

thanks
