Google Maps + Gallery

...tried it before, the same thing will try to do fresh install...

request/idea...what about using different marks on same map? Ability to choose mark type when entering coords?

Upgraded from 0.3.2 to latest (actual from cvs as of 7pm PST today) and viewing my map I have no markers displayed and a nice error message at the top of page

Warning: array_unique(): The argument should be an array in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/gallery2/modules/map/ShowMap.inc on line 46

I followed the wiki for upgrading.

EDIT: I just noticed by editing an image I had linked to the map has the Custom tab with entries still present and on the Google Map tab all entries are blank. I thought they supposed to have been automatically carried over.? Do I now have to manually update them all for the Google map tab?

Hi,

I modified the ShowMap.tpl a little bit to have a more compact JavaScript to produce the markers. The result should be exactly the same (if I made no errors), but the download of the map page should be a little bit faster.

The changes are:

• Instead of creating a new GIcon and setting every attribute for each icon, use the GIcon copy constructor (ie. new GIcon(DefaultphotoIcon)) and modifying just the property that changes (ie. the image of different color). (This saves quite some lines of JavaScript)
• Create only a new albumIcon for albums and only a new photoIcon for photos, instead of both each time. (Makes sense, duh?)
• Create the HTML for the marker infoWindow inside a JavaScript function (createMarkerHTML(...)) instead of printing it every time. (This one reduces some more of the JavaScript/HTML code to download. On the other hand it probably slightly increases the JavaScript work that the browser has to do...)
• and included the fix by galmoid for the zoom problem.

It works fine on my site, but it would be cool if somebody else could also test it. I attach the ShowMap.tpl (zipped) to this message, simply overwrite the old one in the modules/map/templates directory in order to test it.

Please comment!

I think this is Termitenshort's favorite bug... sometimes capitals, sometimes not - you never know

I reverted back to my previous ShowMap.tpl and I still have the same problem! I could swear everything was working fine when I went to bed last night.

I have seen this happening 3 times to me already ... I dunno if it come from the zipping or the fact that the files are going to CSV ... I'm confused it used to not happen before

I find that this new ShowMap.tpl works just fine here.
-I have noticed that the 'Zoom In' link appears to be inconsistent (not
related to the new ShowMap.tpl). Sometimes it does not center the
map (appears to be on the first use); but instead, zooms without
actually centering.
-Not related to that inconsistency, I've also been trying out:

onclick="javascript:map.recenterOrPanToLatLng(new GPoint('+px+','+py
+'));map.zoomTo('+zoomlevel+');">{g->text text="Zoom In"}

in place of the 'centerAndZoom'.

I think the modified .tpl shouldn't change the behavior of ShowMap.inc - but I'm not 100% sure, this is my first g2 template modification...

Anyway, did you check if the fields that have problems (GxZoom, GxZoomNum, GxSize, GxSizeX, GxSizeY, GxPan and GxAutoPan) are correctly set in your database? And maybe if you also have two different tables, g2_mapmap and g2_mapMap?

Greetings.
Ripe with the expectation of great things with the route feature I have installed the Google Map module V0.4.1 ,everyting seems to have gone ok with the upgrade. I have tranferred my locations data to the new table. The map is looking fine as before. I have added a route by selecting some of my photos which appear on the map. However the route does not show on the map neither does anything appear on the Routes Management screen when I try to edit the route. Something is amis but I dont wnow wht. Any ideas to help me sort this problem.? Regards, Dave

Edit, Sorry I hadn't noticed the bit about Route Edit not being available. Where can I check if the route data has been entered properly? Dave.

Oops, it seems that it is vital that a sequence number is entered when creating a route, I works now. sorry to trouble you. tahnks again, Dave.

Sometime when you change a template you need to go and delete the template cache I regularely have the issue ....

You are aboslutely correct on that, modifying the .tpl does not affect the .inc

see you

Even better, do you mind updating the wiki ? (http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Modules:Map), you should also put your name in the developer team coz I will add your change to the code permanentely (thx btw)

Hmm yeah of course ... i will do that now, should be quick enought

Yes if you choose "Stock - Large" in the theme tab, you can have the slider.

GxMagnifier is basically a zoomed windows that is linked to your mouse and let you see a "zoomed" version at all time.

See you

Don't we all

Is there a trick to removing the coordinates from an item (album / photo)? I can change them but not remove them.

Something else that would be cool... if you already have coordinates entered but want to adapt them, it would be great if the "Grab coordinate from Map" feature would center and zoom to the current values (GPS coordinates and zoom level). (Added this to the To do list)

I had this problem where the route I created didn't show up. It must have been because I did not add any order numbers on my first attempt. On subsequent efforts I filled this in for every item and the routes now appear. This is tedious and prone to error - but it works. Dave

Igrcic has had a great idea:

We should all upload a pic (a logo, a photo, anything really) on a gallery2 with our GPS coordinate (doesn't have to be exact, don't give up your address ...)

Then a map would show where we all are !!!
Blue icons for developers
Green icons for testers
Purple icons for other users

Wouldn't that be fun ?
Well I have created a gallery album that has that possibility http://termite.responsiveweb.com/gallery2/v/dev/ , guest can upload pics and change the settings (we count on honesty to keep it acurate)

The map can then be seen here: http://termite.responsiveweb.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=map.ShowMap

Thanks Igrcic for this really good idea and let's all upload a pic/photo/...

See you

I have added this to the module and uploaded revision to the CVS, thx galmoid :D

Bug Fixing:

* Cannot delete GPS coordinate from an album/photo -> change the preg_match

* Cannot have 0 in ZoomLevel

* HTTP 500 Error In some cases the glob() function of PHP errors out, it needs to have *.* instead of *

Those are solved in the CVS. I will leave them in the wiki until I upload a new version

See you

GxMagnifier doesn't appear unless you are logged into the gallery.
