Google Member Map

[countludwig]

well I've been at it for hours and run out of things to check.
I went over each of the mods by hand and they are right.
the fields in the table are there, when a user sets the pin, it saves the
long. and lat. properly as far as I can tell.
The issue definately appears to be in the  MapsXML() function
but I just can't tell why it's not running the way it should.

thanks for any comments/suggestions etc.



/* edit */

good lawd I finally got it.
Thanks TLM for an awesome mod !   much appreciated.

What did it take...I gave up and decided to wait for .51 for 1.0.5

I chased down the patch as much as I could!!!

Well, 1.1RC2 is officially out.

I just tried to reinstall .50 and the only problem I'm seeing is the Map button isn't showing up. The code I have in index.template.php is...

Code Select Expand

// Google Maps Mod
if (($modSettings['googleMapsEnable']) && (allowedTo('googleMap_view')))
echo ($current_action == 'membermap' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'membermap' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=membermap">' , $txt['googleMap'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'membermap' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';


There's not a 'blank' or 'missing graphic' button. It's just like it's not in the index.template.

Suggestions?

Ok seeing how 1.1 RC2 went pub, I just finshed testing, hopefully 0.51 is better than its previous for people.  Includes a few small fixes.  I removed alternate languages for now, but expect those to come back sometime.

Thanks!

Same problem here just installed .51 on 1.1 RC2.

When logged in as admin The map works fine, log in as a member and there is no tab and nothing in the profile.

What file needs the permissions changed?

Membermap.template.php is 644 is this correct?

Cool
Thanks....51 works with 1.0.5 perfectly.

Now...Any ideas on setting zoom on specific region of the map?

Yes I am trying right now to work on two diffrent requests, the default viewpoint and the input the coordinates by hand.

The coordinates by hand will probally come about first if I can overcome one last hurdle which is validating that they did not enter letters instead of numbers.

The default viewpoint, I am not sure how to go about having that option in admin panel, due to I don't think I can easily put the map in there to where you could just go to the area and save....  Probally going to have to have a manual input but not sure on how to go about inputing that either.

Great...
and Thanks Again...
and
Happy New Year

I am open to anyideas on how you might think I should implement this.

In admin view of the Map
Have a button or text link that shows/says set current zoom level.
The button/link should be visible only to admin/permisions

Now that RC2 is out it would look better if you sue tabs for the map and adding the pin instead of having it in the profile.

That might get further overlooked, I know people that barly fill there profile, much less do anything on sites.

[JayBachatero]

Yea most members do not edit their profile.  Maybe a secondary option?

The only other change I would prefer is that the map defaults to MAP and not SATELLITE or HYBRID when in the profile page.

[carbonize]

is it possible for members to relocate their pin after the initial placement?

Soon will be an option...

Click to remove, or re-click somewhere on the map to replace.

Thank you for this wonderful Mod. I liked it so much I bridged my Coppermine Gallery to SMF so I can have this functionality.

I tweaked the function in MemberMap.template.php to show different text/link based on if the user is logged in.

For example:
logged in users see:

Click here to place your pin if you have not already. You can also view this in Google Earth with the kml file.

anonymous users see:

To add your pin, please log in or register.

function template_map() {
global $context, $modSettings, $scripturl;

        echo '
    <table width="100%"><tr>
        <td class="windowbg2" colspan="2" valign="middle" align="center">
            <div id="map" style="width: 700px; height: 500px"></div>';
if ($context['user']['is_logged']) {
            echo '<div id="message"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;sa=forumProfile">Click here to place your pin if you have not already.</a> You can also view this in <a href="http://earth.google.com/">Google Earth</a> with the <a href="index.php?action=.kml">kml file</a>.</div>';
} else {
            echo '<div id="message">To add your pin, please <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=login">log in</a> or <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">register</a></div>';

}
echo '
