What option out of the 50+ or so controls just the editing of markers? I do not want to give them any "moderation" like privileges, that's what moderators are for. edit: actually, the Administrators section seems to do what you refer to, except that with the following set for the group Area Organisers they still can only edit their own markers No, the Administrators section is for administrators and permissions in the ACP. You should do something like this App the app tabs will appear when you go to the "Content" tab and click "Uncheck all". You should also go through all the other tabs and remove privileges they shouldn't have. Link to comment
Westfield Sports Car Club Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 That was it! Initially, I did as you described, but the Community Map tab remained hidden, until I unchecked all in the Content tab. Bit weird, but I got what I needed, a group of non-moderators being able to edit markers they haven't created themselves. Cheers! Martin A. 1 Link to comment
Westfield Sports Car Club Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 And no, it wasn't it. Well, it does allow the Area Organisers to amend markers other than the ones they created themselves, but they are also now able to see private information stored by our members (address info) on their profiles. Weirdly enough, a moderator itself isn't able to do this, but an AO with only the community map privileges is. I've had to delete the restricted moderator group for AOs again as that is a big no-no.

Without being able to confirm it right now, it does sound to me that they are still added as administrators? It is the profile fields that are only visible to admins they are seeing, right? I believe everyone that is given access to the ACP can see this info. Did you also go through all the other tabs in the moderator page unchecking all other privileges? There is nothing in Community Map that would override this access. Link to comment
Westfield Sports Car Club Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 They were added as Moderators. The profile fields are set as I just logged in as a moderator, and they can see these profile fields as well. So I just think that this is not going to work for our situation. I did disable all other tabs, only the Community Map tab was enabled. Link to comment

Not sure why they haven't made a separate moderator permission for this. I believe you can use this plugin to control this behavior: @Adriano Faria Can this plugin be used to remove view permissions on fields set to "show to staff and profile owner"? This members needs a member group to be able to edit markers, but not be able to view these hidden profile fields. Link to comment
Adriano Faria Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yes, the admin can override these permissions and choose specific groups to view: Martin A. 1 Link to comment
jesuralem Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hi there, is there a live instance or a demo of this somwhere. i may have several use cases for this but i am not sure i can achieve what i want to do. My idea would be to display pages DB records on a map with the users able to browse the map and access records. it would eb great if DB catgeories could have their own map with only the entries from the category, and even a small map block on each entry page...

There was a site that did what you're trying to do, but looks like he changed his entire site over to Wordpress now. Community Map can map records from a database if the records have a custom field of the type "Address". You can choose to show that custom field in the record which will give you a mini map there. Community Map will not show anywhere in Pages. Link to comment
jesuralem Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 my issue is that most of my records wouldn't necessarily have a real adress. For instance dive spots have a tendancy to be in the middle of the sea 🙂 Steph40 1 Link to comment

bassangler Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I'm getting a ton of "Field doesn't exist" errors. Everything otherwise is working fine. What could be causing this error? Link to comment

What could be causing this error? This is debug information and you should disable that logging if you don't want your system log filling up with large amounts of irrelevant info. I assume you're also getting a log entry for every single HTTP request made by the site? Remove the following from your constants.php define( 'DEBUG_LOG', true ); Link to comment
bassangler Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 So the "fix" is to disable the error message? What if I need that for other error messages? How about we fix the issue that's throwing the error? Link to comment

How about we fix the issue that's throwing the error? This isn't technically an error message, this is debug info used by developers and support staff. But it makes me wonder why it isn't self-correcting itself, so it may actually point to an underlying issue. In communitymap_markers_groups, can you show me what data is stored in the group_customfields column? Link to comment

Don't understand why this would produce tons of these debug messages. I don't get it when I use your data. I have however added some more checks there to properly set that field to NULL when it's empty. You can do that yourselves now in order to stop the messages.

I have just cleared the system cache and the board failed to load totally with a 500 error! Changing back to PHP 7 fixed it! Link to comment
