Location Mod

[1948Pal]

Ok new version is now out. It should work with 1.0 and 1.0.1. It now comes in three packages.

The base install which is required has just the member map functionality and only the map of the world.

The additional maps package includes all the regular and extra maps released so far. Currently found in the second post of this thread as it is too big for the mod site.

The who flags package is the who's online ip lookup part from the previous version.

New additions are the text now being separated from the html for easier translation. A new image for the menu bar at the top. An admin console for turning off maps or renaming them. And also some other minor code tweaks.

Please let me know of any bugs. Thanks!

Yeah, great. Thank you I'll go try now.

If you have the old version you should run the upgrade. The full install should only be done if the files are fresh.

If you have the old database tables the only one that needs to change is smf_mm_maps. You can drop that table or run the upgrade on it.

I will look into the map pulldown problem, I think I know the reason.

[Gobalopper]

Ok the download now contains a newer MemberMap.php that should fix the map dropdown not changing problem. If you've already installed 1.1 just take that file and replace it with the old one.

Let me know if it fixes the problem.


Also don't forget about the javascript caching problems that have been mentioned many times before. Until your cache gets the updated version the pin placement likely won't work.

Hello Gobalopper,

I tried to install the new version (old one is still up in my forum), but I get an error message:

2: mkdir(): Unable to access /mnt/ja1/01/142/00000000/htdocs/forum/Packages/temp/flags/
Datei: /mnt/ja1/01/142/00000000/htdocs/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Zeile: 413

All folders have been chmodded to 777 ... why this error message?

And:

where can I get this "upgrade" for already installed location-mods you mentioned?

Thanks a lot,
Ravey

The mod site now accepts 4 meg files, Gobalopper .

Thanks a bunch Gobalopper! The new packages installed just fine without any problems for me.

I had been waiting for this, thank you.

I had not previously installed this mod, and the install of all 3 parts went fine, on a 1.0 install, using the package manager.

I had the cache problem, but once I cleared it, it all works great.   Top mod.

Just a note to those of you who had the old version the only database change can be upgraded by running this query:

Code Select Expand

ALTER TABLE smf_mm_maps ADD COLUMN visible TINYINT(1) NOT NULL default '1'

If you are going to install this mod and not the upgrade be sure to have the original source files.



Ravey76, I'm not sure of the cause of that error... do you have any of the files from the first version still installed?

Okilly Dokilly...

Ran your Alter Table query using  "MySQL Front" then deleted & reinstalled the packages.
We're away at last!  Thanks very much for your efforts!  Very much appreciated.

NB: Somewhere along the line I managed to clear the XXX_mm_pins table.  Good job I could use MySQLFront to replace the data from the back-up!

Still have the problem of only the worl map showing up in the drop down menu...

Spoke too soon!  Maps work fine, but Forum doesn't.  If I try to open a Topic I get:
Not unique table/alias: 'pin'
File: /files/home2/zillion/familynews/Sources/Load.php
Line: 480

This other Topic refers, but I haven't yet made any sense out of it!:

[Gobalopper]

Roger, you have to install the additional maps package to get the other maps now.

zillion, can you post the previous and next 20 lines from your Load.php around line 480? There should be a query there. Most likely it got duplicated when you installed the new version over the old.

[zillion]

Too late! After reading carefully through the previous posts, I've already deleted the Chat Mod and uploaded a new Load.php file.  The Location Mod still seems to be working, and I can now view ordinary topics normally.  Obviously there is some sort of clash with the Chat Mod; but I can live without the Chat Room!

[Roger]

Thanks for the info Globalopper.  Will try that!

I've a lot of errors because the $profile['country'] and $profile['name'] are empty (or undefine) in the load.php. I put this in the code and add a new record in the 'location_country' and uplaod a picture 00.png.

Code Select Expand


(Line 405)
         if (empty($profile['country'])) { $profile['country'] = '00'; }
if (empty($profile['name'])) { $profile['name'] = 'Unkown'; }


The other way is to use one of the standard flags.

Code Select Expand


         (Line 405)
if (empty($profile['country'])) { $profile['country'] = 'de'; }
if (empty($profile['name'])) { $profile['name'] = 'Germany'; }


But i'm sure there is also another way to clear this error. But this was the quickest way to clear it
(And the sideeffect each user have a standard flag.)

Use the Replacement from Reply #167 is the better version with no sideeffects .

[Roger]

The additional maps download link gives me an empty file on download completion.  Is there a working link?

Thanks,
Roger

[Gobalopper]

Not sure why that would happen din1031, it should just be an empty value not undefined...

Roger maybe try again, it worked for me.

[Roger]

The link works with IE but not in Firefox for some reason.... weird...

The mod works now!

Hello Gobalopper,

I really dont know why this error message appears.

Okay, I tried to install this mod by hand. Followed all instructions of install.xml
MemberMap is now working again, all users are still present, but their pins are all on the right side of the screen, like pearls on a chain ...

Please have a look:

How can I fix this?

Thanks a lot,
Ravey

[Roger]

Ravey, clear your cache.  That did the trick for me.
