Thank you Mike, you did a great job.
Wow, great tool!
ok this is just amazing but i have too issues:
1- after saving the location i don't get a map in profile but a link and when it's closed it doesn't open a lightbox it goes to google maps instead with wrong place but close to the location.
2- when editing location again it goes to the default map and not to the place you already chose.
thanks a million
forget about it, the plugin is just amazing thanks a lot
i noticed it keeps the exact location....
but is it possible to show a small map on the profile?!
that'll be lovely
ya, and still the light box doesn't show, it takes you to google maps.
thanks a lot
I haven't had any issues yet. make sure it loads somewhere low, after flexprofile. Don't forget, some plugins need to load after others.
unfortunately i found that the theme is not at the bottom....
could it be the problem?
i can't move it to the bottom because whenever i try to move it i get token mismatch?
any help??
thanks
That could be a problem. there is some discussion on here about the token mismatch. It helped me when I had that problem. Do a search for token mismatch. I had to edit the .htaccess to fix mine.
zanzoon,
I looked at your site. The lightbox shows on your site, the problem though is afterwards you're redirected to the Google Maps. It's because the lightbox tries to use google maps libraries that are not there. Try to add a google-map widget to your profile, and profile location will work as well.
It's because you use google-map plugin ver. 0.92. My plugin is compatible with 0.9 I will fix it with the new release.
Also, making it compatible with 0.92 will fix another problem. Right now selected location is moved to the closest named location. It's no problem when marking your address, but if you mark two points on the lake, they both will be moved to the center of the lake. This will be fixed in the next release.
great great great, now i have it all working and it's lovely!
suggestion for next release to save the zoom level :)
thanks a lot :)
you can set that in the start.php of the google-maps plugin:
define('GMAP_DEFAULT_LOCATION', '"Omaha, NE"');
}
define('GMAP_DEFAULT_ZOOM', 13);
13 is real close, 3 is zoomed out far.
thanks a lot !
great plugin, thanks
I downloaded and read the readme and it says it needs some flexprofile mods before intalling but I was not able to find them here in the plugins dir, can someone post the required plugins URLs ?
BTW, I created lots of groups that need a location field, can this maps be added to the groups as well or is just for members?
Thanks in advance
Form plugin is Here: Visit resource
Once you setup the form plugin, the location field is available for flexprofile and flexgroup.
txs skot.
im trying to get something like yours at paddle but for groups only, however found hard to setup for groups, no matter what i try the "location" button does not appear when creating or modif a group, looks i need to play with forms a little more :)
@cabaz888
make sure your flexgroupprofile plugin is below the group plugin.
I have them like this:
groups
google_map
flexigroups
vazco_gmap
is that way OK?
today also installed flexprofile and and looks google maps works for that, however it is not for flexgroups, I think something is wrong for groups, can someone who installed both check it for groups to know if is just mine? thanks in advance
cabaz,
You have to add:
require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))))) . "/vazco_gmap/models/field_types_extended.php");
to the first line of flexgroupprofile/views/default/forms/groups/edit.php
I'll try to make it easier in the next release.
vazco, thanks. that fixed the location button for groups.
last error is that even the location was picked, it is not showing within the group profile, I tested the default, default not extendsed and tabbed views with no luck at all. I think a call is still missing there
thanks
yes, you have to add:
extend_view('flexgroupprofile/extended','vazco_gmap/field_types_extended', 1);
to the vazco_gmap/start.php, after:
function vazco_gmap_init() {
//extend form fields
thanks again, it almost worked. the only thing I see is still missing is the default (not extended) view which still misses it, sorry to be a pain ;)
It would be the:
require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))))) . "/vazco_gmap/models/field_types_extended.php");
in flexgroupprofile/views/default/groups/groupprofile.php, at the beginning
btw. No problem, this plugin is still in development. By pointing out things that don't work, you save me some work ;-)
fixed, that was great
Vazco - Any possibility of integrating this into Kevin Jardine's "Events" plugin and the "TidyPics" plugin?
