[Map Module] 0.4.9 Bugs (No more posting in this thread!)

0.4.9b has been released. This thread is dead!

Termite,
You've been very hard at work . . . maybe too hard.

Seems, at least in my case, 0.4.9 is broke. No map.
One thing I quickly noticed is the 'Area to Sow on the Map'
dropdown shows all entries of the Map Key profile listed
as separate entries as Album:...

Will keep looking.

The New Admin interface is nice.
Maybe change the 'pink' backgrounds on some of the item info
listings (hard to see white text on pink). Maybe the pink
background/white text is only on my system.

The pink/white issue:

I have black text so I didn't see the problem. it will obviously always look better on some theme compared to others I'll try to get the text forced to black (at least on the table to select items)

Also for infos:
Blue is for groups item
Green is for album item
Pink is for picture item

I can't reproduce either the "%" thing or the "area to show on the map" issue. Do you have a link/credentials so I can take a look at those ?

Thanks

I'm using straight (I think ) matrix.

% - Maybe it's just me. I'll keep looking. Unfortunately, not
accessible from outside (Maybe some day).

Area - Here is some info which You may be able to use to guide
me in the right direction...

        //Get the list of album with GPS Item in them
        $map['listalbums'] = $parentsequences;
        foreach($map['listalbums'] as $tmp) $temp[] = implode("`",$tmp);
echo "<pre>tmp";print_r($tmp);echo "</pre>";
echo "<pre>temp";print_r($temp);echo "</pre>";

The Profile entries appear in the second echo.

OK. I found out the cause of my % vs px problem. In MapHeader.tpl there is:

<script src="/gallery2/modules/map/GoogleMap.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Well . . . my gallery directory is -not- named gallery2. Maybe this shoul not be a
hardcoded value for 'gallery2'?

Still looking for the reason for the Profile thing.

For the profile problem I would start looking into 2 files:

map.tpl (in the block folder) is the template used to show the dropdown
callbacks.inc is the file that creates the list to display by the template

Let me know if that helps looking in the right direction.

I'm getting a no key valid for this website. did you change something ?

In addition to the previous finding in Callbacks.inc . . .

            elseif (empty($routefilters) and empty($albumfilters)) {
            $filteroptions[0]['name'] = "« No Filters »";
            $filteroptions[0]['params'] = "";
            $filteroptions[1]['name'] = "Define...";
            $filteroptions[1]['params'] = array (
                               "view" => "core.SiteAdmin",
                               "subView" => "map.MapFilterAdmin");
            }

Maybe these -are- correct; but, just too much for pea
brain.

Maybe. Attached is a text file that is the results from placing
echo/pre statements in ShowMap.inc like so . . .

        //Get the list of album with GPS Item in them
echo "<pre>parentseq";print_r($parentsequences);echo "</pre>";
        $map['listalbums'] = $parentsequences;
        foreach($map['listalbums'] as $tmp) $temp[] = implode("`",$tmp);
echo "<pre>tmp";print_r($tmp);echo "</pre>";
echo "<pre>temp";print_r($temp);echo "</pre>";
        $listofalbums = implode ("`",array_unique($temp));
        $temp = explode ("`",$listofalbums);
        $listofalbums = implode ("`",array_unique($temp));
        GalleryCoreApi::setPluginParameter('module','map','albumlist',$listofalbums);

        //Trim the list if the "Album" filter is ON

Thank You for maintaining your patience. I recognize what a
bummer it is to have something (after much effort) work
perfectly in one environment only to have it blow up when
the "peas" get hold of it.

No offence meant to "peas" anywhere and everywhere.

Ah, maybe that's what's happening ... garbage collection

Can you try to add

$temp = array();

Between
$map['listalbums'] = $parentsequences;
and
foreach($map['listalbums'] as $tmp) $temp[] = implode("`",$tmp);

Thanks !

Termite,
Regarding the pink/white thing. It is not the theme; but rather, the colorpack
that causes the situation. Actually, probably a combination of the two. The same
theme with different colorpack combos will result in . . . undesired results, since the colorpack changes the
FG/BG combinations.

BTW, conorboy the problem with funky filterlist would be corrected with the fix aboce ("garbage collection")

Hello guys,

Please try the new release http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gmap-module/map-module-0.4.9b.zip?download

I should have those bugs fixed in it

Thanks for your help debugging!

Termite,

Great!

Everybody else...

When upgrading
-Be sure to copy over any Group Thumbs you may have uploaded (they would
be in map/images/groups). If you don't your map will not display.

-Be sure to alter the permissions or owner of the map/images/groups directory
or you may experience problem uploading Group Thumbs.

This is just a friendly reminder from a fellow "pea".

Termiten,

I tried today updating to the latest nightly snapshot (Had older version of EXIF module) so I could install the map module and themes.

Now I get an error about incompatibiliries between the Module, Core and Theme APIs used by G2 and the ones used by the module and the theme.

Is there a new version of the APIs that needs to be adopted by your module and your theme? If you say yes I can stop pulling my hair

Incredible. This is just my luck. Ha! I just go and install a nightly snapshot for the first time in four years or so and I happen to hit an API version change. And one affecting exactly the Module I wanted to try.

I should've done the "modifying the EXIF module manually". That'd been much easier.

I'll see about going back to 2.0.2 and modifying EXIF module manually, though. Unless the changes to the Map Module are not complicated and I could do them myself.

I wasn't even aware of the API change, so it may take a while, though.

I do understand your reluctance on releasing a new version of the module as it may not be backwards compatible, though. Count on me if you want to test it with the new APIs.

One question: I've seen that it's possible to trace routes in the map. I can't use it so I can't know for sure but is it possible to trace a route independently of the photos in the route? That is, could I trace an exact route through a lot of streets even if there are only few photos to include in said route? I was under the impression that the points connecting a route had to be photos themselves.

hi all!
i'm having some trouble with the 0.4.9... I just installed it and everything worked great. but when I set the filter block to "hide" the whole left block disappeared!! I tried to set it back to be "left", but all I get is an empty block. I then tried to alter something in the themesettings for matrix and added a new block but it still remains blank...

any ideas on how to get the blocks back?

seehundnz :wink:

Termite:

No luck. I thought I had a backup but upon reloading everything (including a backed up version of the whole database) I get messages about the core being in the wrong version.

So I'm stuck with 2.1 which is a bummer as one of the modules is being used in my blog (WPG2) and isn't compatible.

I know, I know, the fault is all mine.

BTW, I meant tracing a route not unlike the way it's done in Gpedometer (these two routes are from actual trips, and I have dozens of photos along the routes):
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2689
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2688

Interestingly the site can also export to GPX anyway, so that's alright, I guess

Eduo, back to a conflicting Wordpress/Gallery2 installation and no way to go back!

Nope this is a bug and should be filed :wink:. I have to look into that I recall having the issue once but I haven't be able to reproduce it ever since.

It must be something very simple. I'll find it

PLx post a bug if you have time :D

I'm not an expert but it doesn't sound good

Well, there is not warning either ... once it's done you're done :D. I managed to get my installation back but it wasn't an easy task ....

It's kinda like blow away the all thing and start fresh plus restore some of the information on the database so you don't have to re-type everything

I don't really understand how the site operates, sometimes I get a marker when I click, somethime not.... Well I guess the idea would be to be able to have "points" in the route that do not necessarely belong to a "item". Kinda like a blank marker on the map that could be added to the route ...

Sounds a bit tricky but do-able. maybe yet another feature request .... (on sf.net )

Man we'll never be done.

Termite,

Sorry 'bout that. Live and learn.

Ha Ha . . . I get the last message. ;-)
