Google Map Module Version 0.4

Posted by Phatbloke on 2006/5/19 10:02:21 (11221 reads) | Posted on Modules
At last after me being lazy and a fair few modifications I have made the module capable of using the Googlemap V2 which has the capabilities of heaps more features along with the main function of displaying a fair chunk of Europe.

Please read the readme as there is a sqlupdate to run as google have changed the way the zoom levels work so that in time they can add greater zooms with higher quality photos.

If there are any problems please let me know and I will try fix them. Either comment below or there is a forum here

Download the module from here

Installation:

1. Just unpack and upload to modules directory as usual
2. Install in module administration
3. Configure module in prefs
4. Obtain an api for your site from google. Link is given in the config page.
5. Add your categories and points from the module menu.

Upgrading:
1. Upgrade module in xoops admin
2. Run update script to adjust zoom levels http://www.yousite.com/modules/googlemaps/admin/sqlupdate.php
3. Login as admin and in preferences / google maps set a map type otherwise the sidebar will not display

Change log

Version 0.4
-Added code to handle V2 of the google API making europe maps available
-Added ability to choose a map type to display as default
-Fixed Shifted sidebar to the side of the map to help if categories get too big

Hmm ...

After updating from 0.3, running sqlupdate.php as posted above results in "Sorry, you don't have permission to access this module" even though I'm logged in as Admin.

Removing the module and reinstalling from scratch results in a "500 Internal Server" error when attempting to run the module from my site. Admin funtions are fine.

Am I missing something?

I'm running XOOPS 2.0.13.

Hmm that sounds odd. I haven't tested it my self in 2.0.13 but have been reported it works fine.
Did you check the permissions didnt get removed in groups in the admin area some how. Make sure webmaster has access to all areas of the module

Ah! It turns out the fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars but in our software -- specifically, mine.

After some head scratching, I deleted the module and re-upped your code using a different FTP client. Everything worked like magic.

Wonderful stuff, thank you very much.

I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE!

Gret work again, thanks!! A quantum leap in terms of resolution for the part of the world my site is on. One question: the Google Maps Api seems to send it's controls in UTF-8, whereas my XOOPS site comes as ISO, which leads to those nasty symbols in the controls when viewed from a computer that requests them in languages with accents and diacritics. Is there a way to fix that?

I've installed version 0.4 clean and it works well with the exception of zooming. After creating a category and adding points when you try to view the points by clicking on them instead of zooming in to the preset level the map simply pans to that point, remaining at the level of zoom already being used. I've removed the mod, downloaded it again from the developers site (or another site at least) and reinstalled to have the same problems.

Any help out there??

Thanks,

- replace <? by <?php tags (still left some in maps.js, i keep that one for later)

To use it, just add to your theme .css such a style (names infobox)

Can anyone clarify please, what is going on? One minute this module is being developed ny Phatbloke, and then Marco?

Had no probs with Phatbloke's code but Marco's screwed up my site! I now have a problem now that I have downgraded where XOOPS does not substitute the variable with the string (if this makes sense). i.e. displays _MD_CAT as opposed to the actual catergory name.

Please help
