Hi everybody,

As many markers as you want !
The plugin help provide an example of how to use it on a gogle map.
Options allows selection of fields and section/category choice.

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
Hello Aleth, Love the idea of your plugin. When I tried to check it out I got the following errors. Not all of my articles have lat/long data so maybe that’s what went wrong?
Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/mysite/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 23
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/mysite/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(653) : eval()'d code on line 325Piwik Dashboard, Google Analytics Dashboard, Minibar, Article Image Colorpicker, Admin Datepicker, Admin Google Map, Admin Colorpicker

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
Hi Matt,
i don’t think so as the plugin return only article with populated lat/long data.
Just to be sure , did you run the plugin prefs ? (options on plugin admin page)

I get those errors after saving on the prefs page. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and got the same errors after saving on the prefs tab.

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
nice plugin, planeth!
I know it is out of the scope of the plugin, but maybe it will be nice to add a bound fixer calculator to javascript example on the plugin help, because google maps help is really confusing with bounds for dummies like me and it is a tipical functionality everybody needs for his maps at sometime: fit the zoom to let see all the markers by default.

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
Hi milosevic,
what do you mean by fixer calculator ?
Is this a mean of setting the zoom ?
Or the size of the map being displayed ? I’m a bit confused.
Just elaborate a bit further or give an example and i’ll add anything useful to the help.

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
Errors are gone but how do I get the markers.js generated? Should the js_dir be an absolute path?
Actually if I select items in the gg_map_info_window_fields box and click Save I get an error:
Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/mattwho/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 23
Edit: Found the markers tab under content. Hadn’t looked for it there. Clicking Go there results in the following error:
Warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ANDcustom_1 LIKE ‘_’ AND custom_2 LIKE ‘_’‘ at line 1 select ID as thisid, Section as section, Title as title, url_title, unix_timestamp(Posted) as posted, custom_1,custom_2 from textpattern where `Section` LIKE ‘article’ AND (`Category1` LIKE ‘photography’ OR `Category2` LIKE ‘photography’) ANDcustom_1 LIKE ‘_’ AND custom_2 LIKE ‘_’ in /home/mysite/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 89

Also the options button on the Markers tab sends me to /admin/index.php?event=plugin_prefs.plh_export_markers which is not where my textpattern admin side is.

Hi Matt,
Should the js_dir be an absolute path?
no it’s the relative path from your site directory.
Found the markers tab under content
Yes, i added this in the plugin help. I consider that it make more sense to put it there.
Warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
DO you have the v0.5 version ? It should correct this error.
options button on the Markers tab sends me to /admin/index.php?event=plugin_prefs.plh_export_markers
Ooops … i forgot this one.
v0.6 to correct
Actually if I select items in the gg_map_info_window_fields box and click Save I get an error:
Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/mattwho/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 23
Could you tell which version you are using ? I can’t reproduce the problem…
Could you delete the plugin before installing the new version ?

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
v0.6 I still get Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/mysite/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 23 when I make selections in gg_map_info_window.
Other than that and no translations for en-us it seems to be working. I was able to create markers.js.

Re: plh_export_markers : list of markers from articles for google map
no matter what i try i can’t reproduce the problem.
Is it still the same error as your first comment ?
Could you send me a screen-shot of the prefs tab ?
Are you using special names for the fields in the drop_down select ?
