Um - help? "A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred Technical information (for support personel): Error Message The "ManageLocation" class referenced by "ManageLocation" does not appear to exist. Affected Elements ObjectFactory.NewObject();"

jsamlarose · March 2007

Anyone...?

jimw · March 2007

Is that error occurring when you activate the extension?

LoOkOuT · March 2007

Ahh... that's the problem I was having weeks ago. No solution thus far. Mine would tick along for hours and then fall over (when attempting to access the Account page) with that error message.

jimw · April 2007

@houseinprogress: If you could update your extension with respect to this comment GoogleMapDirectory # 55, we would appreciate it.

Uploaded version 1.1 of Member Google Map.

houseinprogress · April 2007

@jimw: Done.

gpreston · April 2007

Any work on getting this working properly with FriendlyURL? I just had to manually edit the code to get it to play nice, but would like a solution that works for both situations out of the box. Edit, I think I fixed it. The two changes I made so far was the following: Edit again... found out how to use GetUrl(), lets do this properly!

gpreston · April 2007

Alright, here's how it would go with using GetUrl() properly, so that'll create the Url appropriate to the forum configuration...

Find:
header("Location:account.php?PostBackAction=ManageLocation&u=$u");
Change to:

header("Location:".GetUrl($Context->Configuration, 'account.php', '', '', '', '', 'u=$u&PostBackAction=ManageLocation'));

Find:
<form id="frmAccountMyBlogs" method="post" action="account.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Change to:

<form id="frmAccountMyBlogs" method="post" action="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'account.php','', '', '', '', '').'" enctype="multipart/form-data">

I missed one of the links accidentally. This is to update the link 'View all members' under a user's small google map on their account page.

In default.php

Find:

$GoogleMap = '<li class="MemberLocation"><h2>Member Location</h2></li><li><div id="GoogleMapLocation">&nbsp;</div></li><li><a href="extension.php?PostBackAction=GoogleMap">View all members</a></li>';

Change to:

$GoogleMap = '<li class="MemberLocation"><h2>Member Location</h2></li><li><div id="GoogleMapLocation">&nbsp;</div></li><li><a href="'.GetUrl($Account->Context->Configuration, 'extension.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=GoogleMap').'">View all members</a></li>';

gpreston · April 2007

They just keep popping up! Found 2 more links that needed to be updated...

Around line 224, Find:
<a href="account.php?u='.$u.'" class="CancelButton">Cancel and go back</a>
Change to:
<a href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'account.php','','u',$u).'" class="CancelButton">Cancel and go back</a>

Around line 287, Find:

var marker = createMarker(point,  \'<div style="width:200px; height:auto; text-align:left; color:#333;"><a style="font-weight:bold; color:#333" href="account.php?u='.$row[4]).'">'.addslashes($row[2]).'<\/a>';

Change to:

var marker = createMarker(point,  \'<div style="width:200px; height:auto; text-align:left; color:#333;"><a style="font-weight:bold; color:#333" href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'account.php','','u',$row[4]).'">'.addslashes($row[2]).'<\/a>';

gpreston · April 2007

And another one...

Around line 153, Find:

<select name='RoleFilter' class='LargeSelect' onchange=\"document.location='".$Context->Configuration['WEB_ROOT']."extension.php?PostBackAction=GoogleMap&amp;'+(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value > 0 ? 'RoleID='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value : '');\">

Change to:

<select name='RoleFilter' class='LargeSelect' onchange=\"document.location='".GetUrl($Context->Configuration,"extension.php",'', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=GoogleMap')."'+(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value > 0 ? '&amp;RoleID='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value : '');\">

hi all!

i modified the google map to show an inline map at the "Define your coordinates" page.
by clicking on the map a marker is positioned there and the coordinates are set in the input fields.

if someone is interested in the changes, i'll upload the new script :)

houseinprogress · May 2007

@jehul - That sounds cool. If you email it to me I can bundle that and the other needed fixes in to an upgrade of the extension.

Email me at aaron at houseblogs dot net

jehul · May 2007

hi houseinprogress!

i mailed you the new ManageLocation class.

also please add
"RoleID > 2" to the query in the googlemap class.

because banned users shouldn't be shown in the members map! :)

regards, J

jimw · May 2007

How about color-coding the tags on the members map for different roles?

barbe · June 2007

http://mapki.com/getLonLat.php Could we implement this map instead of copy/paste the position from an external map?! - sebastian

houseinprogress · June 2007

@barbe - We'll acctually implement the approach jehul suggested above soon--it will be graphical directly in Vanilla. There are just a few bugs to troubleshoot before uploading the new version.

ryanopaz · June 2007

Looks to work great except for one minor thing, under the text "User Location" there is a big white space. Nothing else! No map in other words. Anyways i don't see a way to turn on or off friendly URLS, but I don't think I'm using them. Am I missing something?

gpreston · June 2007

Friendly URLs is used in conjunction with the GetUrl() function built into Vanilla, and then installing the Friendly URL extension. By using that function, an extension can be built where all the URL's generated will be normal, or SEO compliant.

Which page are you looking at that has the text for User Location?

ryanopaz · June 2007

My "account" page...and I now know I don't have friendly URL's enabled

thanks

gpreston · June 2007

Did you add your Google Map API key to the config already?

ryanopaz · June 2007

yep

ryanopaz · June 2007

ok I was a bit confused...but here's the deal, I've followed the thread, made changes and I still get this:
Error Message
The "ManageLocation" class referenced by "ManageLocation" does not appear to exist.
Affected Elements
ObjectFactory.NewObject();"

So for now, I'm leaving this alone till the next version or the download is fixed.

amosborne · August 2007

@houseinprogress: This is fantastic, thank you! Any ETA on the graphical "choose location" interface? I'd be more than willing to help troubleshoot/beta the functionality if you're close to release.

houseinprogress · August 2007

We got the graphical interface working in Firefox but there's still a bug with IE that prevents the clickable map from loading. I forgot about it and stopped testing it...I'll see if we can figure it out.

amosborne · August 2007

Wonderful! Thank you so much -- and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Lussumo Bot · August 2007

Uploaded version 1.2 of Member Google Map.

houseinprogress · August 2007

OK, this version now includes the graphic interface for setting a user's map location.

Many thanks to Barbe for the suggestion and sample.

amosborne · August 2007

Thank you so much!

I notice you've removed the Userpicture from the all-member map display. I was having a little difficulty accounting for different sized user pictures as well. If you're interested, I've changed the add-on slightly to display the user's Icon instead by editing lines 336+ with:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT A.latitude,A.longitude,A.Name,A.Icon,A.UserID FROM ".$this->Context->Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."User A WHERE A.latitude != 0 AND A.longitude != 0 $where",$this->Context->Database->Connection);
				while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
				{
					if ($row[0] <> 0 AND $row[1] <> 0)
					{
						$Image = '';
						if ($row[3] != "") $Image = $row[3];
						echo 'var point = new GPoint('.$row[1].','.$row[0].');
                        var marker = createMarker(point, \'<div style="width:200px; height:auto; text-align:left; color:#333;"><a style="font-weight:bold; color:#333" href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'account.php','','u',$row[4]).'">'.addslashes($row[2]).'<\/a>';
						if ($Image != "") echo '<br \/><img src="'.$Image.'" \/>';
						echo '<\/div>\')
						map.addOverlay(marker);';
					}

Again, thank you!

Howdy, Stranger!
