Location Mod

Same question: Can you please confirm this mod is compatible with SMF 1.1.2 ?

Thanks! 

Try this to make it compatible with 1.1.2. Download the package, unzip it and open the Info file. There find where it says Install and at the end of the smf versions that there are already mentioned there, add 1.1.2 after 1.1.1 or replace 1.1.1 with 1.1.2, same thing.
Do the very same thing where it says uninstall, zip the package back againn including the changes you made and you are good to go. It worked for me and I hope this helps and it works for you as well

Thanks, i'll try this

It worked after few reinstallations, thank you so much

I'm having the exact same "modification parse error" problem/message as niatram posted last week. 

It's taken me all day to get alll the previous problems/errors whittled down to just this one last error message......so I don't want to cross my fingers and click on Install hoping that I won't have to delete everything and start over from scratch.

If someone has any ideas, comments, suggestions, advice or anything else to say about how to solve this "modification parse error" please don't hesitate to post it here (and soon!! ).

Thank,
Diamondhead

Mine started working after 2-3 uninstall and reinstall, if this is of any help?

i was never able to resolve this and have since installed the googlemap mod

This is all VERY confusing.

It appears that this mod is NOT compatible with SMF 1.1.2. Some people have success with it - and others do not. On the downloads page, the author of the mod does NOT indicate compatibility with SMF 1.1.2, so positive experiences of some folks notwithstanding, it seems there is a likely compatibility issue.

What are the chances that the mod will be upgraded to be CONFIRMED compatible with SMF 1.1.2 ?

[Diamondhead]

Niatram, how is the googlemap mod working?  Any problems or heavy drawbacks you've noticed yet?

Surferbird, uninstalling and reinstalling this mod is what eventually whittled down the errors to that final "modification parse error."   

I ended up clicking the Install button anyway.....and nothing about the forum changed.  It didn't install the mod (although it says it is installed).....but at least it didn't crash the forum.    Oh, and the difference between my error message and Niatram's was that on Line 7. of his error message it says "smf1.1.x/install.xml" whereas mine said ""smf1.0.x/install.xml"

(After the install) the error logs from within the Admin section of the forum were informative about what caused the problem....but gave no clues about how to fix it.  Apparently the install program is looking for maps and flags in the TEMP folder (which I had to manually create, per instructions elsewhere in this forum thread)....and when it can't find them there it gives the mod parse error.  "Parse" means "read"...so I was already aware that problem was that the mod was unable to find/read/interpret a file.

Btw, I also installed the "unlimited number of member fields" mod....and it has the same problem.  It shows as being installed  but it doesn't do any thing.  Seems as if those mods that have been around for years need a little code tweaking to bring them fully into compliance with 1.1.2?

I'm wishing everyone else the best of luck with these mods......

been using it for about 1 week with no issues, my users love the functionality that it provides. hopefully it will scale well as more users add pins

[Surferbird]

I cleaned up temp and files on server after install, run table error fix every time and then, voilaa it was there and working very well without detailed reasons that i know. I'm in no way experienced with programming and PHP...therefore the "Voilaa"

[Diamondhead]

For those of you who are as new to this as I am here is some fantastic advice about installing mods....

Even from clean SMF (re)installs I was having to fight most mods to get them in.  Somewhere in these forums I discovered that you have to manually create a "temp" directory within your Packages directory (I never saw that in any of the official SMF documentation)....and I was having to recreate that "temp" directory with every new attempt at installing a mod.  Even though I created the "temp" directory, most mods still would not install without those "modification parse errors" and Test Failed messages.

I had almost decided to go mod-less when I installed the No Temp Directory Removal mod from a new SMF reinstall.  WOW!!  What an incredible difference that made!!  Once that mod was installed, every one of the 11 mods aftwards has slid right in without a hitch.  The only one that has still refused to install is the Location Mod.  Not a big deal.  I'll wait until they shake a another bug or two out of it and try it then (or go to the GoogleMaps mod).

Bottom line to this story...  If your 1.1.2 mods are refusing to install, try installing the No Temp Directory Removal and see if it doesn't make a 100% difference in installing the mods specifically noted to be 1.1.2 compatible.

One more thing... I just discovered a site called SMFHacks.com.  I have only scanned their site for a minute but they seem to have tons of mods not found here on simpleminds.org.  They are definitely worth a look.

Good luck and happy installing!

Good to hear you solved the problems

[cixus]

I found them maps, thank you.   

[JSizzal]

Installed like a Charm, works Fine on 1.1.2, just wondering if/where I can find more specfic maps. Something like the 50 states.. Would be extra nice..

[wilsy]

Apologies if this has already been answered, i did search but didn't find anything.

Most of my members are in the UK. How can I make the drop down country list (not map list) default to United Kingdom, rather than Afghanistan?

Great mod btw - worked like a charm on 1.1.2

Regards,

Wilsy.

[Kindred]

there is a default map to show listed in the admin for this mod...

[wilsy]

Hi Kindred,

There is a default map option, but I want the drop down country list to default to United Kingdom, rather than Afghanistan.

Regards,

Wilsy.

[Kindred]

then you will have to change the code in membermap.template.php

[pasqualino]

new versione wen are aviable?

Weird error

Installed the mod in 1.12  It works for me as admin but no-one else appearse to be able to view the membermap

Found a solution , I un-installed and reinstalled the mod and there are now additional options in the permissions settings for each group, to enable disable membermap

I can confirm the validity of this.  Took very little effort and worked like a charm.
