Google Member Map

[TLM]

When its done?

Keep in mind as well I am having to work on it bit by bit when free time comes to me and I am not stressed.  I can tell you this, clustering might be gone or different, have not decided yet.  Gonna have ability for people to import there own custom .kml files for those people that want to use the map that way...  Thats about all the major changes I can remember at this hour of the night, gg homework,

I am sorry for having to keep delaying this for such a long time, I hope it is worth the wait once I am done with it.

[Bigguy]

I am sure it will be. Looking forward to seeing the new version.

i have a question about clustering, how is it implemented? do how close do pins need to be to eachother to be considered part of a cluster?

Instead of "Frodo Lives!" it should be "TLM Lives!"

I am not really sure, for I used someones clustering script, that I really should have asked first to distribute like I did.  If memory serves me correcly, it works off of how close the pins are and figures with zoom level.

the clustering isnt work on my board. if i disable it the user pins are shown, but enabled the map is empty ;(

[TLM]

That is probably due to the changes in the google maps API and old script, therefor probably throwing a lot of js errors and you just don't see them?

I am wondering if a smaller maximum zoom can be set.
Some members are a bit afraid to define their exact location. Or, they could define it, if other members are not able to zoom too much.
For example see the map at www.frappr.com It doesn't zoom too much.

Also, why are the maps of the member map and the profile page, different? One has a zoom bar and it starts with the defined default zoom, the other has no bar and starts by showing the whole world.

I was playing around with my implementation of TLM's (much appreciated) Member Map - running on SMF 1.1.2.  My clustering doesn't work at all, (I think it used to on an earlier SMF)  nor does the map display in Internet Explorer.  I use Safari and Firefox, on a Mac, and the map displays fine for me. (all 3000+ pins!)  It takes a long time, but it works!

Besides the problem of most of my users not being able to use it in IE, I am running into a real scalability issue.... mainly due to my clustering not working.

so.... just put me on that list of patient, appreciative users.

Just wondering what the latest progress is on this mod? I know your all very busy so no pressure

O.

[qubbah]

Anybody can pack this mod for 1.1.1

im still waiting for this for a along time....

[flodav]

Hi Guys,

The mod is well installed on my SMF 1.1.2 + Tinyportal. I have the admin panel working: I disabled the clustering of pins. In the profile, everything seems to work well: I can enable and disable pins. When I launch the map, I can see the map with the correct zoom but no pins at all.

In IE, I have some errors: clusterer is undefined

Can anyone help me showing the pins ?

[flodav]

Ouahh I've just find the solution, I disabled the following lines in GoogleMap.php

// This is so we can try to cluster some of those pins together so the map does not get over loaded?
        //var clusterer = new Clusterer( map );
        //clusterer.icon = clusterIcon;
        //clusterer.minMarkersPerClusterer = ' . $modSettings['googleMapsMinMarkerCluster'] . ';
        //clusterer.maxVisibleMarkers = ' . $modSettings['googleMapsMaxVisMarker'] . ';
        //clusterer.GridSize = ' . $modSettings['googleMapsMaxNumClusters'] . ';
        //clusterer.MaxLinesPerInfoBox = ' . $modSettings['googleMapsMaxLinesCluster'] . ';

and

//if ($modSettings['googleMapsEnableClusterer'])
  //  echo '
    //                clusterer.AddMarker(marker, label);';
//else


And now the pins are showing up. So disabling clustering in Admin panel isn't enough, you also need to remove the code

So is anyone gonna update the package for 1.1.2 or not?

[brianjw]

I would like to see it updated for 1.1.2

PS: Storm, I see it on Tinyportals.com. You should post it here. Give me a pm.

i think this is the best time to make the latest google map mod. Why its take soo and very long time to make it.... is there no specialist about that...

Are you having trouble understanding the following........

It will be done when time allows! You just have to be patient like the rest of us!

Thanks Brian, yes i had to fix several things in the package before it would install correctly. I also believe the reason you can't use cluster pins is that in the code it appears to be either or not both, If i manage to solve it i'll post the fix but in the meantime you can view the working model on my 1.1.2/TP9.83 site

Hi, i'm wondering, if it is possible to add a search box,  as it is explained hxxp:www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/index.html#Geocoding_Examples [nonactive]

Code Select Expand

var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

function showAddress(address) {
  geocoder.getLatLng(
    address,
    function(point) {
      if (!point) {
        alert(address + " not found");
      } else {
        map.setCenter(point, 13);
        var marker = new GMarker(point);
        map.addOverlay(marker);
        marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address);
      }
    }
  );
}

I tried but got error responses, so maybe you can help a french googlemap addict

That would be pretty cool

You PM me or email me on your site or SMF when you get it up so I know when to look
