Location Mod

[Vinspire]

i can see people are discussing the google mod and the location mod

ive used both and i can say this honestly: both have their advantages and disadvantages

how?

Location mod:
- it has a really cool feature that little flags get added to user profiles / posts and on the map and 'whos online' list (if u install the flags with it)

Google maps
- You can zoom in right down to your neighbourhood so its awesome

So basically if you run a big forum i would recommen googlemap since it allows more pins to be placed, but not without consequences, the more crowded the map is the more slower it will take to load

But if you run a smaller board then location mod will be A-OK for you

Akulion, any demo on google maps ?

Users of the forum are consistently getting an error message - as follows:

An Error Has Occurred!
You cannot view the member map.

Members have reported the problem occurs no matter which browser they are using.

Fix??

Nevermind - I found the answer (simple).

I am getting this error too, can you advise me how I correct it?

By default, no one has the permissions to see the map, so you need to set everybodys permissions accordingly.

Hopefully that's the problem!

Hehe ok I fixed that.

One more question: why are there are maps under my name when I view a post I've made or replied to?

What file needs to be edited to fix this?

maps or flags?    The mod should add a flag under the names of people who have selected a location on the map (in the user information in posts)

Go here for example: http://www.surfexcelerator.com/smf/index.php?topic=576.0

It shows TWO flags under each person's name that have added their pin.

looks like you either added a mod that placed a flag there before...   or you clicked install twice for this mod...

You'll have to edit display.template.php to remove the duplicate code...

What part of display.template.php do I edit? What should I look for?

Edit: thanks, I found it!!

[GreenToes]

I tried installing this Mod and it said it was sucessful,
yet when I go into a topic, any topic, I get this error:

Not unique table/alias: 'pin'
File: /home/chatfest/public_html/Sources/Load.php
Line: 783

Help!

[Pureblood]

alright, sux looking through 65 pages of replies..

could anyone tell me why the additional maps don't work on my 1.0.7 forum?
also, it looks like only the admins can use the mod for some reason... how do I fix that?

Okay, I have installed the mod, several times, and as of yet it still won't work.  I can't get it to work on my admin account, after I install the mod, I attempt to place a pin, and it won't work.  I have tried to place the pin using IE, firefox, and opera.  As of yet I can't get it to work.  And when I try to create a dummy account and place their pin, it says that I don't have permission to view.  Unfortunately, I am pretty slow to pick up new things, so whomever decides to help me please give me specific instructions to follow.  Thanks in advance.

purebllod and youwill...

1, you have tro go into the permissions for each group and give them permission to see the mpa and place a pin on the map...


youwill....
2- installing multiple times is going to cause issues...       why do people assume that installing again and again will solve problems?  Computers do not leanr by repetition. If you had a problem the first time, you are going to continue having problems unit you fix the original issue.

[youwillbowdown]

Kindred, I backed up SMF before adding the mod, and just reverted to the previous state after each failed attempt to install.  I have been asking for help on this issue for quite a while, and no one can give me any ideas as to what is going wrong.  I am still pretty new to this, and it is taking a LONG time to figure out some of the easier issues.  I can install the MOD just fine, that isn't the problem.  It just will not allow anyone to place a pin.  I have tried as an admin, and created a new group that had all permissions, and it still won't allow a pin to be placed.  I am using firefox, and have cleared the cache from my browser after every install.  If there is something that I am doing wrong, or should be doing, please enlighten me.  I have asked the other admins, and mods on my forum, and none can place a pin.  We can all see the map, and I have checked the permissions to make sure that they have the ability to place a pin, but yet it won't allow it to happen. 

Someone with some ideas please help!
Thanks

are you using the default theme?

[youwillbowdown]

Okay, I have this problem solved for the default skin, but it won't port over to the other skins that I have installed.  Anyone know how to solve this problem?

TIA for any help.

[Kindred]

yes, you have to add the code into your other theme template files by hand.

Alright, I was having issues with the mod not placing pins, and tried finding this board to find out if anyone else had this issue and been fixed, but for the life of me, couldn't find a topic listed on the thread index. So I uninstalled the mod, to use later, and after it was uninstalled, the button is still visible. How do I get rid of this, so I can attempt a reinstall and clearing the cache on my server? I have tried reinstalls on things before, and two buttons appeared, which is very annoying.
