Member Map

[stoo2000]

Hello

Just installed the application and it looks great, congrats for this nice piece of work.

Having a small question hope anyone can answer me please, there is any way for the administrator and only administrator to add locations for members instead of letting them to put their addresses? At Admin Forum Set permissions i already have changed permission and put YES to View Map,Add Location ,Update Location and Delete Location.

Anticipate thanks.

Hi Mark,

Only members can add actual member markers, you can however add 'custom markers' via the ACP.

How to update version 1.07 to 1.09 and the new version will run on IPB 3.3.4?

Thank you

Hiya,

It's the exact same method as installing an application or updating an application.

Upload the files from the zip to the correct location, then log into your ACP, you should get sent straight into the Upgrade process.

Stoo,

Possible to make it so that it uses php GeoLite function or something and auto populates?

Something like:

Unfortunately geoip is only able to be used by a small amount of users (since it requires access to install PECL extensions).

PECL not install on all machines? I believe many VPS and dedicated server admins can use it. No? Or PECL causes issue?

Hi, this is excellent map! thanks for that.

I have two questions (sorry for my english but i am not an english speaking person and I hope that you wil understand what I mean ;) )

1. is it possible to ad marker manually, not by the choosing name of city? we have some users from small villages and it is not on this map so it would be great to add them just in put the marker where it should be?

2. is it possible to add some personal information, just like "I invite you to coffee"? our members would like to meet during their holidays journal and it would be nice to know when they may stop for tea :)

The problem I forsee is that the board admin might not always own the server/vps (I honestly think that it is the minority).

1. Your members can put their co-ordinates in, if their location isn't mapped. No click to place marker available yet.
2. You could add 'custom markers' via the ACP for this purpose. (But your members cannot add these (yet) )

[Agnieszka]

thanks a lot :smile: when it would be possible to add own text by users? :D - this "yet" is such hopefull :D

You'll need to have a look in your error log for any PHP errors that occur at the same time as attempting to add the location.

No events in the error log that i can track to the membermap..

There will be something in there if it's an issue with the application, however without knowing what is there, I can't make any suggestions.

As i said my error log has no events related to the member map or any ipb apps for that matter.. How should i proceed?

Using Google Maps Api is expensive since 2012. Please use Bing oder Openstreetmaps instead.

And by the way: Note: The Google Maps JavaScript API Version 2 has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010. The V2 API will continue to work until May 19, 2013. We encourage you tomigrate your code to version 3 of the Maps JavaScript API.

You need to get your own API key with your OWN Google account.

You need to update the URL in the settings. :)

expensive!? I'm using it for free !

expensive!? I'm using it for free !

It's free up to a certain number of uses per day. But even then, from what I understand, they only start to charge if you're consistently going over that usage over a period of time.

In fact, here it is directly from their pricing page.

How do I avoid a large bill if my usage unexpectedly increases?

The Maps API usage limits do not take effect until a site has exceeded the limits for 90 consecutive days. If your site has met this requirement and you are purchasing excess map loads online, the Google APIs Console allows a cap on usage to be set on a project to protect against unexpected increases in use after billing has begun. See the Google APIs Console Help for more details.

The version that I'm currently working on uses Bing Maps.

How is that size of the speech bubble for custom markers calculated? Can I change that somewhere?

Because no matter if my text has 5 lines or 50 lines, the text block is always larger than that speech bubble.

That's all part of the Google Maps API, you'll also notice that if you re-open it, it will be the correct size.

Hi, please can you give us a choice of Google or Bings Maps API's rather than force us to switch? IP.Gallery uses Bing Maps and they make you jump through hoops to use their API compared to Google which for the majority of users is free to use. Besides, surely if you hammer their free service you would be expected to pay something?

[Strikes]

I keep getting this after doing a fresh install, creating a new API account on Google and I've got V2 and V3 enabled. Not sure what else I'm missing?
