Google Member Map

[brianjw]

The mod isn't compatible for other themes than default unless done by manual install.

There should be a map in the profile page. There was an error in your install.

[mwp]

OK, my bad - I dropped a curly bracket in the profile.template.php

It now works well.  Is there a simple way to import or use a text file with geocoding to display a bunch of pins?

Better yet - add an address in the profile page and use the Google geocoding to place the pin??

Thanks for all of your work on this

I tell all my members to place their pins near their house not on their house. Keeps the stalkers away.

@mwp: As this doesn't have anything to do with the mod itself. It has more to do with Google's side of the Member Map so I am going to have to ask you to contact them regarding that. I know you can export things from the map through .kml (for google earth) but i don't know if you can import.

@kizer: As the mod says, "Place your pin as close as you feel comfortable doing so."

[mwp]

Thanks to both.  I agree re: exact location, though my site is for a private organization and is password protected (FWIW).  I wanted to give users the option of disclosing email addresses.

I've created a separate map with pinpoints based on a CSV doc with geocoded addresses - just didn't know if this was a "solved problem" in SMF

Thanks again

when i try to load thru package manager on smf it says FTP Information Required. how do i get around this?

There is no way. The mod needs to make it temporarily writable to modify those files. Enter your ftp username and password and you'll be good. It doesn't store it anywhere.

Thanks! Works fine! I had to make some changes to adapt it to my theme, and i translated it to Spanish.
Thanks again!

confused. so im to use the ftp info vs the database info? only ask because everything i do with the forum is smf and through the database. but you mentioned i should use the ftp info. so the ftp login/password for the website where the database resides.

just curious how this writes to the database if the ftp and database are different.

[brianjw]

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is basically the system you use to transfer files on and off your website. If you use CPanel, the ftp is called File Manager. If you still need help with FTP and CPanel if you use it, I recommend using your favorite search engine or contacting your host.

[jdvarner]

thanks. i understand ftp. I guess my real question is... do you have to execute a file after transfer so to install the google map? just figured i can upload the files via my own ftp client and then execute whatever needs to be executed to actually install the mod.

Hi,

I've installed your latest version on the default and custom theme. Everything works fine except that the pointers aren't showing up.

Is there a fix for this ? I've looked through this thread and on google, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance

As far as i know not.  I have reinstalled this script over and over agian checked for duplicate code and nada. Pointers show on profile and show on map but only with firefox. Try looking at the page with firefox and if they appear welcome to my world LOL

Hope its not same issue for you though lol

[brianjw]

jdvarner, it should install by itsef through the Package Manager after entering the full correct FTP information.

HellBent & biggbigg, this is Google's side of the issue. As answered many times. Narrowing down your search in the future may help. This also doesn't have an affect on all sites - my site displays it fine. I recommend putting fresh files over the current SMF ones except for Settings.php and Settings_bak.php and all the install files and this will uninstall other mods and modifications that may have had an affect on this map. Reinstall the mod.

Hi bigg, I've done several re-installs too, totally from scratch. I get the pointer in profile, but that's it. I don't even get it in firefox.

I'll do one more install of smf from scratch and post the link to see if any of you can see pointers.

Thanks for your reply

Edited to add:

ok I finished re-install and this time I checked the UTF-8 option during install and it's working fine.

Settings in admin panel:

The default Latitude  - 45.089035564831036
The default Longitude - -35.859375
The default Zoom - 2

If you can bear to do a fresh install, I'm sure it would work for you also, unless you tried that already

Here's a neat site where you can get the exact lat-long you need:
http://mapmaker.donkeymagic.co.uk/  you have to sign up but no validation required so you can use it immediately.

Choose the view you want as your membermap default and then get javascript:  in the javascript code it generates, you'll find the lat + long settings

It was the utf-8 option during install. I checked it this time and all worked like a dream  

[brianjw]

Glad it is now working. I am going to update the readme in the mod to tell people about the known issue. It's not really fixable, it's just preference.

[jdvarner]

This is error i get. Fixable?

Attach your ModSettings.php file. It's another mod conflicting with this mod. I can fix it for you.
