Or does it use other resources, like brandwidth, but not CPU ? *praying*

[stoo2000]

Okay, thanks ! So it may use CPU ?

You'll have a hard time trying to find an app that doesn't have any CPU overhead, processing a lot of markers can sometimes be quite resource intensive, that's why I'm looking at methods so they are not processed as often (once per page load).

Okay, thanks ! Do you have an idea, regarding the date you would publish a new version that wouldn't be as resource intensive ? :D

Note, I didn't say that it was particularly resource intensive, I really wouldn't wait for an update, it's happening slowly though.

I put my API key but when I go to the map page I get:

Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. The provided key is not a valid Google API Key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps Javascript API v2 on this site. If you are the owner of this application, you can learn about obtaining a valid key here:

http://code.google.c...l#Obtaining_Key

Any ideas why?

UPDATE: It worked. Probably needed some time until Google activated the key. Edited September 1, 2012 by RObiN-HoOD

Is there a chance for next release to move pin on the map by drag-n-drop?

Hiya,

It's unlikely that it will be in the next version, it's pretty much a re-write so far.

Could you post your suggestion in the suggestion forum please, don't forget to tag it!

Hi !

I've downloaded it, and... Okay, I'll maybe look like an idiot but whatever... I do not manage to create a proper API Key, I beleive, as when I go in my Google api account, and then in the tab "Api acces", though I use the key for server apps or for browser apps (tried both), and then enter them in the system parameters... it doesn't work.
An error message is displayed, in a popup window, telling me my API key isn't valid.

How should I do ? Is an OAuth API key required or anything ? Can't manage to make the app work :(
Thanks for your support, and sorry, I'm quite newbie with Google services.

Glad you liked my message, but is any answer possible ? XD

You edited your post after I had liked it :P

You need an API V2 key from the following page: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/306966-download-member-map/page__st__1120#entry2301668

Thanks

Oh, okay, sorry xD

I though it was an API V3 :o Thanks ! :)

Sometimes I see on the map a standard google mark (red with black circle) but some other times I see a marker with the letter F. Why?

[.Ian]

F would be when they are a friend of yours on your community

[Samourai]

Talking about that, how could I change the 'F' image ? As my community isn't in english, "F" doesn't mean anything for my members.
Also, I was wondering if I could put the default view on "Mixt", instead of "Plan" or "Satellite" ? :D

Thanks a lot !

There is only room on the marker for one letter.

Open public/js/ips.membermap.js

on line 71:

ipb.membermap.friendIcon.image        = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=F|00E141|000000";

You can change chld=F to the letter of your choice, i.e. chld=M As for default map type, open template mapGoogleJavascript, and find

document.observe("dom:loaded", function()

{

After that add one of the following, depending on the default type you want.

map.setMapType(G_NORMAL_MAP);

map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_MAP);

map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);

map.setMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);

[Samourai]

Thanks a lot for your great help !
Just wondering though, if I could put something else than a letter ? A custom image for example, or a special character, and if so, how ?
Thanks a lot !

Thanks a lot !

You could change that URL to your own image, you'll need to make sure its the same size as the current one though.

[Samourai]

Okay, thanks ! :)

It's working perfectly on v3.3.4.

However, it would be nice if the member map didn't have to be featured as one of the main tabs. For example, it could be discoverable under the Member Tab or in the profile menu. It's a nice feature but I don't think it needs THAT much attention.

Still, great app :)

[Eric Allione]

I was just wondering... Is there a way to make it so it isn't zoomed all the way in every time I click on it?

[Samourai]

The default zoom is relative to your members localisation. For example, if they are all in France, it will automatically zoom on France, though if they are all around the world, the map will show wider space and more countries.

Hello, today I have realized how useful it would be to have a simple hook listing the latest locations saved in the map. We are using it for our compatriots living abroad to save their locations, and the list of the latest countries would encourage other members to save their locations as well..

What is the status of this add on for v 3.34 and the Google API v2 issue mentioned in other posts?

Looks like a great add on but if it is going to have a short shelf life due to the API issue any timeline for updated release?

V2 will stop working in May 2013, there will be a new version out before then.

As the Marketplace Listing says, the app support IP.Board 3.2 or newer.
