Google Maps + Gallery

Nothing to do with the Map Module deal but if anyone is still using the Map Theme and is having the issue where it says that the key is invalid. I have found a solution for it:

Open Album.tpl in the template directory of the map theme and edit the line with the script source, replace it with:

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=1&amp;key={$theme.params.GoogleMapKey}" type="text/javascript"></script>

Problem is gone

Just to avoid duplicate work on this module I want to annouce that jcampbell1 as made a function that will help for the AutoCenter/AutoZoom deal (I should get that all integrated tonight) also he's currently working on the EXIF data extraction/conversion to auto-import the infos in the GPS fiels.

I'm still finishing up the ROUTE feature and I think it will be in tonight's release

I've also gathered some small things here and there that I already added.

Well i might have found a totally free alternative for the geocoding thing, let's wait and see ;)

Can you do a "view source code" and copy/paste into a .txt file and post here ?

Will someone please help me!
I know my away around gallery1.
I decided to setup a gallery using 2.0 for my trip to Japan. I leave tommorow. The question is how do I set this up?

I downloaded the module and set it up but when I go into the configure all I get is a white screen. No options or anything.
Will someone please tell me to set it up step by step. I only have a few hours left to set it up.

Thanks!

Thank you for the fast reply termitenshort but it seems I still have a blank page.
I Opened the file MapSiteAdmin.inc and at the very end change the name of the template from mapSiteAdmin.tpl to MapSiteAdmin.tpl but it still has a blank screen. Should I uninstall the module and re-install?
I am using Version: 0.4.0

thank you so much for the help

termitenshort

Ya'll been movin so fast I can't keep up! The latest map-module I currently have installed is 0.3.2.
I'd like to catch up and install 0.4.0c and then perhaps try from cvs. Anyways in order for me to upgrade do I need to follow your latest instructions? Where you start off with,

WARNING - WARNING !!! since the module does not rely on CustomField anymore, on the first installation you will see no markers anymore !!!
How to fix that:
1 - Export the content of the table called g2_customfieldmap to a file.
etc..

thanks!

Well as I promised here is today's upload with some more changes to the module

What's new
- Added the Route feature to draw polilynes between markers (album or pics)
- Added support for geocoding in the album/photo Edit (get via address link)
- Added a link to show the google map in the "ItemAction" block (thx nicroets)
- Added a link "get via map" for the Center of the map in the AdminPanel
- Added a AutoCenter&Zoom feature (thx Jcampbell1 for the code)
- Moved the "Control" settings to the theme tab (made more sense)
- Added a pre-created MarkerSet as a Zip file
- Added Error control for the GPS coordinate entry in the Albums/photos
- Fix the issue with 50% and 200% resizing of the markers

I've also updated the Wiki with the new Todo

Enjoy !

Hey termite do you have any idea why the map function has javascript errors on my website. Thanks

http://www.lumiere.net/~clock/cgi-bin/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=map.ShowMap

Termite, can we make a sticky comment to this topic, for Map Wiki page?

Hi valiant, i think that short description with link to map wiki page should be enough

http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Modules:Map

I don't see any JS errors beside the one related to the theme (but those are normal i believe)

Idon't know how to do that plus the wiki page is not completed yet. I'd like to get the complete instructions in

0.4.1 is looking really good.
I found that I did not care to see the 'Show Google Map' link under each
album; but rather, only in the sidebar. I went about looking for a way
to make this happen and qucikly got in over my head. I'm thinking that
permissions may not be fully addressed; but, I'm probably wrong. In any
case, I found where these links were generated from module.inc by commenting
some code and having the links disappear altogether. After muckin' about
I came up with this . . .

I commented out this:

//    function getItemLinks($items) {
//      $links = array();
//        foreach ($items as $item) {
//            $itemId = $item->getId();
//            $links[$itemId][] =
//              array('text' => $this->translate('Show Google Map'),
//                    'params' => array('view' => 'map.ShowMap'));
//        }
//      return array(GalleryStatus::success(), $links);
//    }

and replaced it with this:

    function getItemLinks($items, $wantsDetailedLinks, $permissions) {
        $links = array();
        foreach ($items as $item) {
            $itemId = $item->getId();
                if (isset($wantsDetailedLinks[$itemId])) {
                    $links[$itemId][] =
                        array('text' => $this->translate('Show Google Map'),
                              'params' => array('view' => 'map.ShowMap'));
                }
        }
        return array(GalleryStatus::success(), $links);
    }

}

Now the 'Get Google Map' link appears only in the sidebar (always).

The greatest thing about the wiki is that _anybody_ can fix the documentation.

I just installed the 0.4.1 version of the module and I think I have configured it correctly. After configuring that module, I went and added coordinates to one of my images using the "From address" option. The coordinates retrieved and were saved. However, when I click on the Show Google Map link, I get the map of the world (focus on 0,0) and not the coordinates.

I would appreciate any help that you might be able to give? I tried looking for the solution but could not find anything...

Thanks for the quick reply! Actually, that was one of the problems. The other one was that I need to select a marker in the photo properties. I guess, without a selected marker color, there is no default and the marker just doesn't show.

Once, I changes those two little things, the markers started showing up, the map would center and zoom at the right place. This is a pretty awesome module!!

Hi,

I just successfully upgraded from 0.3.2b to 0.4.1 - it looks and works great, thanks for the great work Termitenshort! The only problem that I still have is the HTTP 500 internal server error whenever I go to the map.MapSiteAdmin page. My internet provider wasn't very helpful with the error log, but I could identify the code line that causes the error by inserting some die() calls... it seems that the glob() call on line 929 in MapSiteAdmin.inc causes the problem (the line is "foreach (glob($basegallerydir."images/map/*",GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $filenames)"). Checking on php.net it says that the GLOB_ONLYDIR is only available in PHP>=4.3.3, but I use 4.4.0, so this should work. Checking the properties of the images and images/map directories and files in it, it seems all good... 755 for dirs and 644 for files, like all other dirs and files of the gallery. So I really don't see the point why this fails...

Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks

Stay tuned for the Ninja Invasion

thanks for fixing this problem, I was about to add a bug but I guess it's solved now ! :D
If you have a wiki account (for the gallery codex), you should add your name to the developpement team HERE

See yo and thanks I added your fix to the current module files

Do you know what OS is the server running on ?

ninjainvasion, you can try a couple thing:

Try to change "images/map/*" for "images/map/*.*" in MapSiteAdmin.inc (just in case)

if not fixed, can you try this:
before the foreach on line 929, add a line:
$arrayfiles = glob($basegallerydir."images/map/*",GLOB_ONLYDIR);
(with a die after you can see if the problem is here or not)

Then check if $arrayfiles has some things in it:
if ($arrayfiles) { //do the foreach loop with $arrayfiles instead}

You can try to add this if condition for both foreach. It's possible that glob() does not work right.

Let us know

ninjavision, can you also check if your server has safe_mode or open_basedir-restrictions ? maybe there is something preventing glob() to function all together

thx

Quick question: is there a way to remove the saved coordinates for an image or an album?

sweeet, I'll be changing that on the next release, it shouldn't affect anyone else negatively :D

Also, if you feel like not entering 0., you can add the following to mapItemEdit.inc at line 90:

if (($form['fields']['ZoomLevel']!="") and ($form['fields']['ZoomLevel']==0)) $form['fields']['ZoomLevel']="0.0";
