Google Member Map

[ptucker2]

Hi. newbie here. I've installed the google member maps mod and everything looks ok. Except the member map page shown no maps. I have applied the API keys and enabled etc.. but it still does not display anything. I've tried on FF, IE, chrome etc.. but the result is the same. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Could be any number of things ... do you have a latitude longitude and zoom level entered in the admin panel?

Is there a Dutch translation ?
I am sorry if i missed it.

And how can i make it to show onely the Netherlands  ?
Latitude-Longitude

None that I know of

Latitude-Longitude

You will have to put in the latitude and longitude that best defines the map centerpoint and then set the zoom as needed to fill the screen with just the Netherlands.

This makes my website a lot slower so i removed it.

Never seen any performance impact on any sites I have installed this on, especially since it does not do anything unless you look at the map ... but you can blame Google if you like

I guess if the majority of your visitors are dutch and that you can live with just having the mod in dutch only and no english version, you could always go in and translate all the text yourself....

Why would he need to lose English?  He just has to add/translate the strings to named dutch language files

Hi all, I'm still running version    1.0 beta 4, on SMF 1.1.15.  All was working great for the past couple years until I recently relocated my server to a dedicated server.

Now, the map loads.  The pinned members load, but the pins are gone.  If you click on a member, it will show you where they are, but still no pin.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Luap

I just took a quick look, that old version of the mod used the pin graphics from

Code Select Expand

http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_green.png for example.  The ridefinder service from Google was discontinued quite some time ago, the new version of the mode moved the pin graphics to a supported Google service and away from ridefinder a long time ago.

Anyway when I went to the old ridefinder location today and I got a 404 error, so looks like Google finally pulled the remaining scraps of ridefinder down, the service has been long gone but the site graphics remained available, until recently that is.

So you can either find those old images on google images, save them on your server, and update the googlemap.php file in the sites Sources directory to reflect the new location (there are several pin colors and a shadow, just look for those ridefinder/images)

or you can try using the google chart api instead (its what the new versions uses), but this may not work correctly in the old version, I think those old pins were much smaller.  Any as an example you would find

Code Select Expand

    icon.image = "http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_green.png";
    icon.shadow = "http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png";
and update it to

Code Select Expand

    icon.image = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter_withshadow&chld=%20|66FF66|202020";
    icon.shadow = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_shadow";

that 6ff66 is hex for green, you would just change that for the other colors.

Hi, the Member Map mod has been working great for a long time even after updating to the latest SMF version.
Now, suddenly the map pins are not displaying, and there are some broken icons.
I checked the Google Map API key and settings... Any suggestions?
It will export a KML file and work in google earth.
I am on SMF 1.1.15 and 3.   Google Member Map 1.0 beta 4
If i install the latest version of the Member Map, will it retain the member data in the database tables?
To upgrade to the latest member map, do I uninstall the old one before installing the new package?
Thank you very much!

Thanks, changing the code to googles new chart api indeed fixed it.  I appreciate the help.

Hi, I just made this change and it fixed the problem and the pins are showing.
Would it be worth upgrading to the latest version of the member map?
If I uninstall the old member map, will it delete the data in the member map tables?
Thank you very much!
