Member Map

[ascott]

I don't see a membermap.css file, should that be in the Manage Skin Set and Templates?

Yep, go in there, then click the name of the skin that you use, then you will see a CSS button above the list of template bits, click that.

Then click membermap.css in that list.

Thanks

I don't have the memberrmap file listed!

Ah that would explain it.

Ok, the step you did above to 'rebuild html', do that again, but tick the CSS box instead, then recache the skins. That should sort the map out.

Working fine now :thumbsup:

Is there anyway to move the markers around after they appear on the map, would like to add photography locations which don't usual have an address.

You can provide either an address or co-ordinates, so you would need to locate the lat/lon of the location and put that into the box.

Busier sites using GoogleMaps may want to be aware of this news: http://www.bbc.co.uk...siness-15523050

Just installed this, when I insert the API key I then get a HTML 500/blank screen when clicking on the member map.

What am I doing wrong? :/

Hi Tom,

You may need to have a look in your PHP error log to see what is causing that, if you use cPanel, there is an 'error log' link on the main page.

Hmm I'm on a IIS setup so using Fast CGI/PHP setup. I'll look at the IIS error logs a second.

[Tom_F]

Nothing of note on the IIS logs, enabled php error messages and got none :/

[stoo2000]

It's most likely something to do with the import of the templates, try rebuilding the HTML for the membermap app in Template tools, then recache your skins.

[Tom_F]

That's fixed it, had tried that the other way around to no avail.

Many thanks :)

Hello, I would really enjoy having a nice minimap block on the board index, it would give an immediate visual message to our users that there is such a module.

When i installed and tried to add a location all I get is:


"There was an error communicating with Google, Please contact an administrator."

What would you show in the block ? It would be too small to be a normal map..

Your server doesn't allow outgoing connections it seems, at the moment there is nothing you can do about that.

1.1 will be adding client side geocoding support though.

I was thinking of something like offered by http://www.clustrmaps.com/

I checked with the server admins and they said outgoing connections are allowed.

Any other ideas of what may be causing this?

I'll try disabling other apps and hooks to see if they are interfering as well.

Membermap uses an IP.Board class to handle fetching the data, it tries to use CURL and then falls back to FOPEN. However in this case it cannot get the data by using either method.

You will need to check that CURL is installed and working, or your server configuration has 'allow_url_fopen' enabled (http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen)

I ran a check and allow url fopen is on, as is CURL.... this has got me stumped.

I don't think it's just this as my recaptcha would not work properly either and I had to disable that too. I'm wondering what I did that's conflicting with everything.

Oh well, I'll keep thinking

I have just posted an update that includes Facebook Integration. :drool:

[kotaco]

Well, I've ensured allow url fopen is on in my php.ini

I've run a script to test to ensure that CURL is installed, and I just can't seem to get this to work.

It runs for awhile after submitting the address, then gives the error communicating with Google message as though it timed out.

Not sure what else I can do if anything.... so... any idea when the next version will be available so I can try that one out?

I'm really bummed I can't use this.

Could you please explain a bit how would this work? (I am not using any facebook application) I guess there is a facebook application we could activate for our pages and your application would be synchronizing the data with it in some way?

[stoo2000]

The integration allows you to embed the Membermap into your Facebook Application or Facebook Page, there is a document included with the download, with instructions and a list of requirements that must be met in order to use the functionality.

If the user viewing the map is a member on your forum, they will be show the options to update their marker position (just ike viewing the standard map)

The other possibility is that your server doesn't allow outgoing traffic on port 80. I'll send you a script later today that should shed some light on the isuse.
