This might sound stupid, but how do I extract the ( GoogleMapsMod-0_55.tar.gz )

I am only used to .zip files, what do I need to used for the .tar.gz

Hope anyone can help.

Thank you

I use WinRar, which is free (with nag screens).  Google should find you a download site.

If you want to unzip it, use winrar, like the other guy said.  If you just want the package manager to handle it, simple upload the gz to the packages folder, and the forum will do the rest..

What mods do you have installed statornic?

Hi People,

I just installed this mod, it looks pretty good.
I've made a spanish translation if anyone wants it at the spanish forum.

Now I have two questions:
I just enabled the mod in the admin section, I can see the map in my profile. But where are the pins indicating the users location?

I don't see them!. I've warned my users I was going to install a mod to map them all in a map so I guess lots of them have written something in the Location, mine is Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It's because I'm looking at the map in my profile page? It's supposed to show in any other page?

Best,
Carla

You will have to get your uses to go back to there profiles to place there pins.
It should also put a link in the menu bar, if it does not, its a known template issue, it should add a link to ?action=googlemap which will show everyones pins

[carlatf]

ups... i'm a moron
I thought the pins were put automatically acording to the users location...

[Prasad007]

cant it be that the pins are put on the basis of the user's IP for each user?
so that its all automatically done...

Yes/No
Yes it can if I spend the time to do that, No, I will not put my time into it right now.
The only problem with that idea is if you have 20 users on the same ISP, you would have 20 stacked pins unless the user edits there profile.  Also what if your user does not want there location revealed in any way, this idea would violate what they want to reveal.

ok. ive installed and configured a few packages, so im not totally blind .............

but this google map package is driving me nuts.

after trying to install the mod.....i get this:

1. Execute Modification ./index.php Test successful
2. Execute Modification ./Sources/Load.php Test successful
3. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php Test failed
4. Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Test successful

16. Extract File ./Themes/default/images/english/googlemap.gif 
17. Execute Code add_settings.php


basically number 3 FAILS.

if i continue to install, afterwards i click on the map button, i get an internet explorer error stating that the .../Forum/index.php?action=googlemaps cant be found, aborted.

the google key and path are correct.

just exactly where and how do i configure this thing to give it permission as outlined in the line 3 error?

I installed this on my forum and it seems to work with one minor issue. When I first installed it and placed my pin if I clicked on my name on the side bar it made my pin blink. Now that others have placed their pins the sidebar does not make the users pin blink when their name has been clicked. The javascript error is that myclick is not defined. 

This is with SMF 1.0.7

Well for one, what mods/packages have you installed?  I am willing to bet one of them also modifies that file and my searching and adding to it failes cause of that.

First word, impossible, I never put any code into make pins blink, the location mod does that, I belive.  As for the function not defined, give me a url and indoubtably a test user so I can see the map.

Sorry, my discription was inaccurate. It was the info cloud that popped up I believe, which it no longer does. I have sent you a PM. Thanks for the willingness to take a look at this, as well as for the mod itself.

Hi, I won't search this thread by myself, the search is down...

Ok, I installed mkportal, now Google maps doesn't work anymore... where the map should be there's only a gray field Any ideas?

[TechnoDragon]

Ok...I finally finished reading all of the posts here (there are A LOT of them), so now I ask the questions that were not answered in this topic.

1. The Mod installed with relative ease and I installed the fixed googlemap.php file...I still get a javascript error of clusterer not defined in ie.

2. I can place my pin in the profile, but no pins show up in the main map at all...

ummm...that is actually all of the errors i have...

OH oh!...one more (sorry) did the issue with the sidebar error get fixed?  I am using version.55 and if i turn the sidebar off it gives me a tom of errors...turn it in and n errors.

Thanks in advance!

[Brad Jones]

I think I'm having the same problem as technodragon73 whereas the main map won't actually show anything.  The package installed without incident.  The profile part works without problems.  Just the main map doesn't want to display.

<snipped web site URL>

It's viewable to guests but if you want to login, there's a test account (user: test, password: test).

Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?

Edit: Using SMF 1.1 RC2 and Google Member Map 0.55

[Brad Jones]

Nevermind my plea for help.  I just did a fresh install of SMF to test on and it installed and works perfectly on it.  Thus, it must've been something I did with my theme.  I'll figure this one out.  Thanks anyway!
