Map Baker Module

[AR1306]

Dear friends,

did you find a way to upgrade an existing installation of the modul? Is there any way to export or import items ... to use kml files ... I´ve installed the latest version 1.2.59 of dfelix - without any possibility of export or upgrade ...

THX

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I think nobody was working on that feature so far..(unfortunately)

cheers

Edit:
But, I think you can just replace files via ftp or whatever since there is no DB changes.. (and please make backup just to be save before you do this..)

[AR1306]

Hi crnogorac081,

thanks - it´s good to know that there aren´t any changes in the database. So I will try your/this way ... but for the future it would be cool to have such a possibility or feature   Maybe anyone could create this, I´m not a coder ... unfortunately ...  ... but I think I´m a ceative person and have many ideas  

Regards

Andreas

[crnogorac081]

Just when you are done let us know if there were any troubles..

cheers

Since there aren't any database changes you should just be able to install it over your existing one. All that the upgrade.php file is for is changes that are more than simply uploading the new files.

[crnogorac081]

NO !

Dont do that, as it will drop your existing tables on install, and you will lose all your markers you entered so far !!

[Paul - Westhouse IT]

Goodness, I hadn't spotted that.  That seriously needs fixing. Thanks for catching. 

[AR1306]

Hi crnogorac081 - I took your way, the way over ftp - and after reloading the modulinfo all works fine ...  I also choused the way of westhouseit ... but there was no effect (not in the tables and not in the modul on this website (it´s only a testspace ...   - maybe there is a problem with my provider (filesettings 777 and such things) on this space ... will try this later on an other webspace ... it would be the better way, because sometimes there could be any changes in the db ...

... we need an export feature for the items

THX for the hints and mind

Andreas

EDIT: ... mhhh, one effect isn´t nice - round icons are now elliptical

[Paul - Westhouse IT]

Okay, upgrading works. All I did was add an empty upgrade.php. v1.6 attached.

Please make sure to backup first, even though it worked for me doesn't mean it's guaranteed to work for you.

With regard to icon sizes, modify the sizes on line 59 of view.php to hard code a new size. Once buildGSize is fixed this won't needed anymore.

[AR1306]

... many thanks for your contribution to this modul - I will try the upgrade with the new version 1.6 later and I´ll give a feedback later too ...

... my wife is calling me 

cheers

I´ve made a german language file. Might be useful for someone

[AR1306]

... uupps - I´ve not seen your german language file  

I made one by myself - ok anyway I changed some things, so I think we will have a new version like 1.7

 v1.7 (arogait 2011/02/14)
+ Added German translation
+ Admin-Url replaced by Theme-URL in the modify.php (Now Map Baker is using the back-end style of WB 2.8.x!)
+ Configurable map style (border-width, border-style and border-color) in settings

There is one question to anybody - could you help me to get ready this version? I need the following translations for this module, because I changed some things and integrated new fields:

french

$MBTEXT['MAP_BORDER_WIDTH'] = 'Largeur de la bordure la carte (1; 2; 3 ...)';
$MBTEXT['MAP_BORDER_STYLE'] = 'Style de la bordure la carte (none; hidden; dotted; dashed; solid; double ...)';
$MBTEXT['MAP_BORDER_COLOR'] = 'Couleur de la bordure la carte (RGB Hexdecimal #FFFFFF - red; blue; black; white ...)';

portuguese

$MBTEXT['MAP_BORDER_WIDTH'] = 'Cartão de borda larga (1; 2; 3 ...)';
$MBTEXT['MAP_BORDER_STYLE'] = 'Cartão de estilo de borda (none; hidden; dotted; dashed; solid; double ...)';
$MBTEXT['MAP_BORDER_COLOR'] = 'Cartão de colorido de borda (RGB Hexdecimal #FFFFFF - red; blue; black; white ...)';

These are translations I made with google … so I´m not really sure – is this right?

… and I found an issue with version 1.6 and of course in the new one maybe you can help too – there is an error in the backend with the modify_marker.php if the php_error_settings in the backend are on E_ALL&E_STRICT you will get an error_message:

Notice: Undefined index: marker in /mapbaker/modify_marker.php on line 29
Notice: Undefined index: latitude in /mapbaker/modify_marker.php on line 30
Notice: Undefined index: longitude in /mapbaker/modify_marker.php on line 31
Notice: Undefined index: description in /mapbaker/modify_marker.php on line 32

Please be carefully if you will update an existing installation - in this case you will not get a border around the map because you need 3 new fields in the database - I´ve to find a solution for this issue, maybe an updatescript ... any idea?

Please have a look at the attached file ... this is one way to make the change in your database until we´ve found a solution - if you will do this before updating the module there is no problem to use all features with this module ...  

Thanks!

Andreas

[AR1306]

Thx to dfelix I´ve got the translation for portuguese ... Is there anybody who speaks french? I want to work on this module at the weekend ... There are some very interesting idea´s ...

cheers

Sorry to ask, but i look for therse on google GeoRSS or KML URL: i dont seems to find a place where i can pinpoint the place i want? i have an api key

[AR1306]

Sorry, but I don´t understand your question. There are 2 possibilities to set one or more markers. You can add a marker after you created a new category in the backend of the module. In this case you choose "add new marker" ... after you did this you will see a map where you can set or put your pin on the map (take your mouse to do this) - call the marker how you want and save your settings - that´s all
In the other case you need a GeoRSS or a KML-file (you can create such a file with google-earth for instance ... or take a file you will find in the web ) If you have the URL you can put it in the backend ... please make your own experience with one example I used on our website ... http://www.goisrael.com/Israel_Tourist_Attractions.kml (It´s a working KML-file ...)

Regards

Andreas

[AR1306]

If you have any question ... please feel free to ask  
Maybe you want to use the new version MapBaker 1.65 - No new fields are inside (no changes in the database are necessary) - anyway you can update your existing version ... I want to make the next version with some new ideas - maybe I need time and some input. If you have an idea - feel free ...  

Version MapBaker 1.65

+ Added German translation
+ Admin-Url replaced by Theme-URL in the modify.php (Now Map Baker is using the back-end style of WB 2.8.x!)

Hi Andreas

I understand it now, and its a fantastic modul, thanks,,,

[ufferichter]

Just an ideea, why dont input Latitude and Longitude of a Point where the point is the location?

[ufferichter]

Andreas, did you see my last 2 post

[Paul - Westhouse IT]

v1.65 above didn't have the updated version number in the info file. It's fixed here.

[ufferichter]

i already use v1.65

Hi All,

I have a little problem using a kml link.

My default text color on my site is white so the name and description in the baloon of a marker is not visible.
If I add a marker with the module it uses the code you setup on the settings-page. In this code I can set some styling options.

With the kml file it does not use the settings you setup there.
Is there an easy way to change the module to use the same settings?

[CodeALot]

For some reason MapBaker won't save more categories now that I've made 4 of those. It lets me "Add" a new one, I fill out the form, click Save, the module says "Succesful", but the new (5th) category is NOT saved.

Any idea why this happens and how I can fix it?

(Version 1.65)
