Google Maps + Gallery

Just saw that. I will fix that in a different way (like I said orginally).
In the *.inc files I will just add a statement that does the replace beforehand and so we can just remove all of those tests ;-)

It's not great practice to have hardcoded tests like that anyhow (sorry I'm being a jack**s again)

:D

Can you tell me how to reporduce this? I don't see any error in the FF JS console.

Found another bug ... when album and photo legend are shown, if one uncheck a specific color in (let's say) album then all item (photo and album) of the color will be hidden/shown

I need to fix that too

If you look in ShowMap.inc for

foreach ($imagearray as $images) {
                    $msie='/msie\s(5\.[5-9]|[6-9]\.[0-9]*).*(win)/i';
                    if( !isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) || !preg_match($msie,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) || preg_match('/opera/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
                      // set a variable for the legend to use as well
                      $map['isIE'] = false;
                      $allimagesarray[] = "<img src='".$base."modules/map/images/markers/".$filenames."/".$images."'/>";
                    } else {
                      // set a variable for the legend to use as well
                      $map['isIE'] = true;
                      $allimagesarray[] = "<img src='".$base."modules/map/images/blank.gif' style='filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=\"".$base."modules/map/images/markers/".$filenames."/".$images."\");'/>";
                    }
                }

I added the $map['isIE'] = true; part and I can then check in the template file (legend.tpl) I used {if $map.isIE eq false} to add the correct image and parameters.

Regarding the browser test . . .

Thanks for both of your replies. I was working at trying to get the stuff
floridave mentioned when I posted the above Hi-Jack. Just before I saw your
replies I managed to succeed in my quest (using that strategy). Now, I must
look at just what pellets from the shotgun approach actually are the one(s)
I need. I'll also look at what Termite mentioned and see what happens to me
then. Down with IE (even though FF has it's own problems)

I guess I'm heading toward a version 1.0.4a of the theme.

Now that I have upgraded the web dev tool every page I browse has issues. With version 0.9.4 I did not see any warnings/errors.

Dave

I have the same some of those errors are everywhere. the trick I guess is to figure out which ones are related the map module and which ones aren't

I would like to know how to add the zoom function of the edit photo page? because I cannot precisely identify the coordinates for the picture.
I tried to edit by the Google Map modules, enable the GxMagnifier. It also do not have the zoom function!

Yes

You need to compile the file into a modules_map.mo and put it in modules/map/locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/ and also in the other folder (es_MX and es_AR) after that you need to reboot your webserver.

I have been told that sometimes, the webserver keeps localization in memorry until rebooted or for a certain amount of time.

Anyway, here is the compiled file (remove the .txt extension at the end, it got added automatically)

FYI, this will be part of the release to be published soon this week

I've tried it, and it works withouth the rebooting the webserver (which is fine, because I don't have permission to do it

I've found a few problems with the translation, now I can see it working. I'll try to make a new version when I have time to.

I have started to look at Version 2 of the google API and it looks like we are in for a lot of work.
Zoom level #'s reversed. Overlays are different.
I can't even get a <div> to overlay properly.
I will continue to experiment.

lets hope that they keep verison 1 for more than a month.

Lol, now that's funny while I was writing my message about v2

Hello All,

I was just taking a quick look at the Map Module team pictures and and such (located here for those who don't know)

And there is some pics without GPS coords so since the only goal of this gallery is to see who's using the module and where they located (for fun) I will be deleting those pics if no-one add a GPS coordinate or claims them at their own. (like within 2-3 weeks)

Here is the list of the pic names:

gilrim_avatar_plate
ninjainvasion (I don't know where you're located dude, so hurry quick )
slate
seehundnz
IMG_0050 (some cat picture)
joseph

Thanks

Changes to the infowindow template deal I was talkin about won't be on the next version (0.4.8 I mean). version 0.5.0 will be the one after that and will be a complete cleanup of the code as well as integration of the Google API v2 (if the poll are positive, which they are for now)

Changing the infowindow will be right after that because I saw that there is a bit more option on the infowindow with v2 of the gogle api (like tabbed is now documented at least)

As for the "g2" infowindow, I have fixed that already with a simple routine check in the .inc file using PHP. It will be released in 0.4.8 but if you need it now, I can e-mail it to you or something.

The direction from routes idea seems very cool, i'd like to see that

Also (maybe a stupid suggestion, but ...) we should try to think of better names for the infowindow templates as "gxyz", "g2xyz" and "g3xyz" doesn't talk much of what it is .
Maybe adding a "comment" field that has info about the currently selected template ?

I'm patient... I'll wait for 0.4.8.

I agree, better names -or- instead of that, maybe have "virtual"
infowindow templates. By that I mean, settle on a basic set of
templates (like the original ones with some stuff from the 'g2'
templates included - like scrollbar). This 'basic' template
could be chosen in admin -and- an additional choice would be
the 'virtual' template. I think we'll need a new admin tab for
this... In the infowindow admin tab would be a bunch of options
like the links in the 'g2' infowindows I put up, Get Directions, ???. The selections a user makes by checkboxes
would in turn write out the virtual template file -or- just
spit out the necessary code on-the-fly. The possible checkboxes
could/would be added to as time goes on and people think up
new possibilities. Heck, the admin tab entries could be read
froma text file (to make adding things without a release
easier). How's that for a stupid suggestion? ;-)

On the info window topic.
I am not sure if version 2 of the API will have more than 2 tabs. BUt I think this would be benificial to have more than 2 tabs for the info window.
From the "group";
more tabs
Added to the codex.

Just a thought for the back burner.

Well, hello everyone.

I have been having some pretty darn annoying roadblocks in developping this new version but I finally got them all worked out !! (I know even I am surprised )

Version 0.4.8 is the last version before the code cleanup.

So I'm asking everyone (except floridave as I already know about it) that had planned to add more things (or changes) to hold off or contact me via PM or e-mail or whatever to see if it wouldn't interfere with the code cleanup work (which I believe will be quite the task).

The cleanup is going to bring many changes to the way we all develop things for the module and so I wouldn't want you to work for nothing

Anyways, here it is for you all to enjoy !

Version 0.4.8:

    *  More control over the blocks
          o Possibility to remove and add as needed from the admin panel
          o Adding the possibility to put them on the top and on the bottom 
    * Add the grouping feature
          o Management for the Group coordinates and such
          o A group Define a map and it's content
          o Create markers on the map for Groups
          o Define which albums / items / Groups should be in the Group 
    * Fix the "G" and "G2" infowindow to include code in the template instead of the main files 
    * Other Bug fixes but I don't remember them all
    * Added/changed a bunch of little things her and there to make the all thing more friendly
    * Modify the rewrite rule to access to the map via /gallery2/Map and the groups via /gallery2/Map/G1 (Group 1)

Let me know if you have any issue/problem so i can fix them

-------------------------
The Termite

0.4.8:
Attempting to save on the 'Theme settings' page results in:

There was a problem processing your request.

wihout even changing anything. Have not determined why yet.

0.4.8:
The group deal is pretty cool. I'd like to mention to anybody wishing to
use it -and- upload/set a thumbnail for the group, that they first change
the permissions on map/images/group (either to 777 or make it owned by
the account that the server is running under (nobody?); otherwise, you
will probably get a permission denied error.

Now for the bad . . .
I get no map, just Loading... and done. From the FF javascript console:

(NOTE: this is old and has been seen before)
Error: Expected ',' or '{' but found '*'.  Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.
Source File: http://u30/tgallery/main.php?g2_view=map.ShowMap&g2_Group=
Line: 7
-----
(NOTE: these two are new)
Error: syntax error
Source File: http://u30/tgallery/main.php?g2_view=map.ShowMap&g2_Group=
Line: 350, Column: 47
Source Code:
                       createMarkerHTMLRegroup(, "", "", "", "", , , ,
-----
Error: myWidth is not defined
Source File: http://u30/tgallery/main.php?g2_view=map.ShowMap&g2_Group=
Line: 629

Something more that might help figure it out:

                       createMarkerHTMLRegroup(-105.63624,35.97440, "http://u30/tgallery/main.php?g2_view=map.ShowMap&g2_Group=G1", "Test Group", "http://u30/tgallery/modules/map/images/groups/hawk.jpg", "1136966400", 5, 228, 226,
           "Initial Test Group"          ,
           "This is a group created to check out the group feature."          ,
                    photoIcon        , 0, 0, 1);
                      
      var photoIcon = new GIcon(DefaultphotoIcon);
      photoIcon.image = "/tgallery/modules/map/images/markers/smallpushpins/marker_.png";
      
                       createMarkerHTMLRegroup(, "", "", "", "", , , ,
          ""          ,
          ""          ,
                    photoIcon        , , , 1);

Interesting that 'marker_.png' appears to be missing something.

Another, more minor item, is the Legend box is squished (see pic).

I don't have that on any of the 3 machines I have it installed, can you tell me what option are selected on your theme page ?

Weird ... that's the call to get the form variables ... The weirdest of all is that I made no changes to this area at all ...

Nope that's not it ... did you add a group without GPS information maybe ?

Ok So the problem with the Group that galmoid found is related to the fact that there is no GPS information entered in the database for that group. I can solved that pretty easily.

The other thing I just realized is that "Get via map" does not work for the groups ... I think I simply forgot a piece of the code ... sometime my head is just now screweb back in right

For the "Save Theme" thing I still can't reproduce it on any of my installs

The Termite

You beat me to my response . . . good.

Make sure it's not a case/CASE thing.

I have that same error when I turn ON magic_quotes_gpc, is that the problem ?
