[map module] Export to Google Earth not working

I think there was a report that the curl_init() function ins't a very good choice as it's relying on some library to be installed on the Server. I also think that there was a solution for it.

I'll dig in a bit and let you know (unless someone else finds it faster) ;-)

See you !

I commented out these lines and indeed, an almost correct file is produced. The only problem is that the URL is not generated correctly. Here is an extract:

Instead of just "main.php?..." it should prodcue "http://www.brics.dk/~chris/gallery2/main.php?..."
I could resolve this by manually add the correct URL into the GoogleEarthAlbum.inc file, but I guess this is not the way it should be done in general...

curl_init - probably something (I'm not sure); but, since this works
without it . . .
solution - get and install curl on your system

URL - try this change (I have not tried it on the original file that
you are probably using; but it might work):

current code (with line numbers that might be accurate):

    125             echo $urlGenerator->generateUrl (array (
    126   'view' => 'core.ShowItem', 'itemId' => $child->getId()), false);
    127             echo "\">\r\n<img src=\"" . str_replace('&amp;', '&', $urlGenerator->generateUrl (array (
    128   'view' => 'core.DownloadItem', 'itemId' => $source[$child->getId()]->getId(),
    129               'serialNumber' => $source[$child->getId()]->getSerialNumber()),
    130               false));

changed code:

    125             echo $urlGenerator->generateUrl (array (
    126   'view' => 'core.ShowItem', 'itemId' => $child->getId()), array('forceFullUrl' => true));
    127             echo "\">\r\n<img src=\"" . str_replace('&amp;', '&', $urlGenerator->generateUrl (array (
    128   'view' => 'core.DownloadItem', 'itemId' => $source[$child->getId()]->getId(),
    129               'serialNumber' => $source[$child->getId()]->getSerialNumber()),
    130               array('forceFullUrl' => true)));

Very nice! Thanks a lot for the support, Galmoid! Works perfectly now.

also to Termite: I hope these points will incorporated into the next release of the module.

Termite,
Remove the curl stuff and we will no longer need to try and
explain anything about it (which we don't know anyway).

Just had a quick glance at the new new release 0.5.1a.
The GoogleEarthAlbum.inc changed quite a bit to the last version, but is, again, not working properly. The export-URLs are fixed to http://www.eansk.com/esgallery/
Probably someone else who hacked around the bug in the same way as I did.

I also experienced problems uploading the GPS data, the result is not satisfying, the coordinates are wrong.

I recommend using the GoogleEarthAlbum.inc from the last release with the changes indicated by galmoid in this thread.

I am curious... did you try to upload a gpx file? Was the gpx file used?
Please answer that question if you can. I believe the gpx file might
match gpx timestamps to pic timestamps... so in the final kml file pics
that do not have coodinates assigned in the database but have matching
timestamps would be plotted.

I think a version of this file that was being attempted which would allow
for it's use without the need for a gpx file managed to find it's way
past our rigorous testing and release procedures. I assure you, our pre-release
manager will be... nevermind.

All, I think, pretty easy to deal with. I'll try.

Have you tried using the old file with the new release?

I am still curious to know the answers to the question(s) I posed; but,
here is another GoogleEarthAlbum.inc file to try out (since you're in
a testing mood )

EDIT: Deleted the attacment. See newer post below for this file.

So which version should be put in the module, I'm all confused

The version sent by Galmoid + change to invert the coordinates ?

The Termite

OK. I made the correction for the reversed coordinates (Thank You).
New file attached here.

Huebli, please make sure it works for us before Termite goes ahead with it's incorporation. Thank You.

Great so that I will put the new files in the 0.5.1b & 0.4.11b
