GoogleMaps Module [NEW VERSION 3.0, 2009-02-22]

[Lobotaman]

This is going to be an awesome module for me!

I just completed my install and everything went fine. I am using phpwcms v1.3.5

I added my API key and left the version at 2.x

When I click on "New Google Maps Point" and am presented with the following error...

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/  ...###my full path###...  .com/include/inc_module/mod_googlemaps/inc/edit.points.inc.php on line 1

I went to the documentation at the download site and didn't find anything on this particular error. I also looked into the database using phpmyadmin and can see that there are at least three tables related to googlemaps. One has already been updated with the key.

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Thanks,

John

Your installation is fine I guess.
Extract the zip file again and upload the file(s) again, use auto/ascii transfer type and passive mode.
Your file(s) is not formatted correct.

[Lobotaman]

Thank you, for some reason my CuteFTP (regardless of settings) would not upload the unzipped file properly. I had to use my Dreamweaver. Your diagnosis was correct.

I have it working on the backend and have created a map point that shows in the list and I have selected the article where it should appear, but it doesn't appear on the frontend.

I have read a couple threads and, as a result, have tried it in both Firefox and IE without good results.

Are there instructions/documentation that go into some more detail than the ones at the site?

[update]

which php version, server are you running?
Does the map show up? If yes, did you mark the point address (ctrl-click) in the CP as active?

[Lobotaman]

Hello,

I am running PHP version 4.4.7 on a Linus host.

The map shows in the on the module tab and it is checked as ACTIVE on the KML and the STATUS.

In the module tab it is fully functional (zoom, pan, etc). It also shows as active on the Google Map Points in the list at the bottom of that page.

And, I have selected the structure, article, and template where it should appear - but it does not.

Even though I am a newbie, I find it interesting that it doesn't show up in the list of Content Part Selection in the Structure page in Admin. Should it?

Wow, is it clear that I'm confused.

Thanks for trying to help me out.

John

[update]

but it is showing up in the Content Part selection field in your article?
If yes - did you "blue" the point in the selection field there - within your CP?

[Lobotaman]

I think not, if I understand correctly.

Does this screenshot (attached) properly address your question?

[update]

You did a little diddling within admin/structure with the CPs down the page, didn't you?
Just give it another try:
1 - make new structure in admin/structure. Done
2 - in admin/article choose this newly created structure and create a new article in there
3 - choose plug-in: googlemaps from the pulldown menu (at the very end of it)
4 - select your formerly created map point
5 - save the whole stuff
6 - enjoy!

You plain chose the wrong map - this one at your pic isn't google maps!

[balbi21]

Ok - i think your problem is the wrong content-type:

There is a "map" by OG, that displays a static image from file source -

and if you have installed the google-map-plugin, there is an additional content-part:
"plug-in: google-map"

In this plugin-cp you can choose the points from the module-page to show on the map...

Edited: Ok - Claus was faster,...

But with this double pack it should be on it's way (hopefully)

I have phpwcms 1.3.5. running on my site. When I activate "show marker" in "article content—plug-in:Google Maps" I get Fatal error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bcdiv() in /srv/www/vhosts/meindomain.de/httpdocs/include/inc_module/mod_googlemaps/inc/cnt.article.php on line 151
and line 151 in cnt.article.php:

Code: Select all

$google_marker .= "icon.iconAnchor = new google.maps.Point(".bcdiv($size[0], '2').",".$size[1].");\n"; //anchor point for the icons

Any ideas?
Thanks

I had the same problem, the same error msg after activating "show marker" in the CP (phpwcms 1.3.3). Since the forums don't mention this problem, I went for trial-and-error and commented out the lines 151 and 152 in the include/inc_module/mod_googlemaps/inc/cnt.article.php:

Code: Select all

//$google_marker .= "icon.iconAnchor = new google.maps.Point(".bcdiv($size[0], '2').",".$size[1].");\n"; //anchor point for the icons
//$google_marker .= "icon.infoWindowAnchor = new google.maps.Point(".bcdiv($size[0], '2').", 2);\n";

Worked for me.
It would be of course very helpful to have the author (respect!) comment on this.

your actual php version?

for the module you need:
PHP 4.0.4 or higher
bcmath enabled

[kivipea]

I'm running 4.4.0, but yes, bcmath extension is disabled. Thanks for pointing this out.
But GM module seems to work properly also w/o bcmath. What functionality is actually contained in this 2 lines?

Thanks for the tips. The great Mod GMap also works on my server (PHP 4.3.10) without Bcmath, if I commented out the lines 151 and 152 and only with default marker(red-dot.png).
