Location Mod

[AtariKid]

Hi, I just downloaded and installed the Location Mod with success; however, Admins are the only guys who can access it. 

Can someone please tell me what I need to do so my members can access it as well?

Thanks !!

I've verified the permissions on the list of files I don't know howmany times but I keep getting this screen:

FTP Information Required
Some of the files this package needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and chmoding the files.

Can someone give me an idea what I'm doing wrong ?

thanks

I don't know directly what is the problem, but I have a guess...
I had (and still have) the problem that the package manager doesn't work..
So I made all changes manually....

Finally I found out that it seems to be the problem that my provider is running PHP with Safe mode set to ON.
SMF doesn't like this...you can make a textfile with the following code:

Code Select Expand

phpinfo();
and name it info.php or something you like.
Upload it and open it in your browser..it will show you your config...
If safemode is ON...then that probably is your problem.

In that case do the install manually....it's not that difficult as it seems..
Read the xml file and do what the file should do..

Hello - total newb here.

After install, still nothing was appearing anywhere...

with the help of dunrobin, was able to figure out that it is because I am not using the default theme, but rather the wonderful xtSMF theme. Have now added a button for the member map to the menu, but my coordinates are probably wrong and am also unsure if I coded right - can someone advise? First, here is the code I added to my index.template.php -

//The [member map]!
   if ($context['allow_member map'])
      echo '

<area coords="142,12,10" shape="circle" href="', $scripturl, '?action=mm">
';

Is that right? I sort of suspect the if ($context['allow_member map']) is wrong? If so, what should it be?

Next, can someone tell me if there is an easy way to figure out the coordinates of where my newly added  "Member Map" circle iso n the xtMenu.gif menu so it isn't way off? I guesstimated but am not sure I got it right? Image link below.

Muchas gracias any and all helpers!

I installed this mod today and the extra maps. Very nice work!

I was originally looking for something like a profile field where they could just choose a country and then the flag would show up next to their posts, but this is indeed a nice mod with the maps .

I do have one question however. I looked through as many pages of this thread as I could, but I didn't seem to find much info on how to edit additional themes to include the flags on the posts, as well as the flag button on the top.

Thanks in advance for any help on how to do this (I'm using the 7data_smf skin, but would like to know how in general)

gobalopper.locationmod.zip => the *required* base install, this provides you the member map
gobalopper.locationmod.additionalmaps.zip => this will install extra maps for you to use
gobalopper.locationmod.whoflags.zip => this provides the ip2country database and the ability to see the users flag on the who's online page

For more details please see the discussion thread:

Images of the mod in action can be seen here:

If you read the first post, you need to go to http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=56 and get additional maps after you install the main part of the mod.  Have you done that part already and it still isn't showing up?

[Mike Frith]

i have all the maps they just arnt showing up

all i get is the world map showing

[Gary]

The mod for some reason was causing the Member colour link mod and Multiple Stars mod to go haywire. So as a result, I have deleted the Location mod from the forum.

  I love this Mod! It's so wonderful   Great job! I just wish there was a close up of Hawaii Maybe it could be added just to the side of the mainland U.S.?

I just uninstalled both including the extra maps but now there's an empty link in my navigational bar (still tries to lead to the maps) where's the code to fix? Thanks for your help...

[Kindred]

I expect the code you're talking about can be found in index.template.php

[carmelkevlar32]

Got it fixed... for somereason the code was above and below the code for the calender... weird...

[carmelkevlar32]

Don't mean to flood this thread with stupid questions but after adding the extra maps... it's quite noticeable how off a few of our guesses were when placing pins on the world map instead of at zoom level. Is it possible to remove or edit pin points? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the pins are till there... thanks for you help!

I am discontented. I installed this mod, just trying it out. I didn't like it, and went to uninstall it. But now, my forum won't work.
