[plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_google_map - display articles on google maps

cap_nemo · 2006-02-11 19:17:06

Matt, you’re right. The documentation does say that it puts multiple markers on the map, i’m slow. :)

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. I hacked around and got it so it’s pulling only the data from the current article displaying. So you get ONE marker per article. Check out the link below to get the updated PHP.

WAHOO! Victory!

What i also found helpful is this plugin that allows you to check and see if there is data in, lets say, the custom address field and allows you to display the map if there is.

Good luck all!

Excellent work, cap_nemo! Thanks for this.

I just updated that page again. I fixed a small display wrapping glitch with the popup box and also some breaking issues with the city, state and zip.

The more i get figure out about this Google map API the more i’m loving it!

Cap Nemo,
I would be interested in your fix for the display issue and the IE fix (if indeed you decided that was necessary), but I require the original capabilities of the plugin to display multiple markers within a single map. Can you share some of the necessary changes bro?

Thanks man,

Matthew

I wanted to edit the plugin code, but when I try to save any edits I get the a 503 error? What the?

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

This is the only plugin it does this with, and I’ve tried it on two separate sites and it does it on both. Has anyone else had this issue?

I would like to implement some changes to the plugin, unless Rob does it first, but I think he’s busy :) (the theme looks great by the way Rob, well done).

Any ideas peeps?

Matthew

@ma_smith – who is your host? I had the exact same problem and it was with apache’s mod_security module. I host with dreamhost and had to turn off the “Extra Web Security” feature. There is an article on the faq about this but I can’t seem to find it right now. I had the error when I was hacking the google sitemap plugin…

found the link the faq articles references a 412 Precondition Failed error, but it describes similar behavior… Once I ditched mod_security it worked great!

RBE, oh yeah, yer the man, I am hosted by dreamhost too. I’ll go look this up. If you can find that faq it would be helpful :)

Thanks man, maybe I can begin rolling on this little guy.

just go to the panel -> domains -> manage domains -> pick your domain and click edit… uncheck “Extra Web Security (Highly Reccomended)” and save it. All should be well after that :) Good luck!

hi

when i try to install this plugin in the admin section i get the error message,

‘Badly formed or empty plugin code’

does anyone know whats wrong here?

thanks

squaredeye · 2006-05-02 16:37:22

shermer,
you likely didn’t grab the entire code, but only part of it.
Try again. Make sure the code full loads before you copy/paste it.

:)

shermer · 2006-05-02 16:48:31

thanks for your reply…

have tried again and still no joy. i’m definatley copying the whole code and all my other plugins work just fine.

im building a site locally at the moment so is it possible that this is the problem?

cheers
simon

shermer,
are you getting the plugin code from uptop? I just installed it fine locally, no problem whatsoever?

Try disabling all other plugins and see if anything changes. I have only ever seen that error if you weren’t grabbing the whole code.

Describe your process?

shermer · 2006-05-02 17:23:00

yep, copied the code from above by pressing ‘apple+a’ keys on the mac. then scrolled to the bottom of the page to make sure its all selected. then i pressed ‘apple+c’ then went to the plugins tab and pasted ‘apple+v’ the code into the ‘install plugin: ‘ box.

i’ve tried deactiving all other plugins first aswell and still cant get it working.

squaredeye · 2006-05-02 17:25:20

If you’re running on MAMP,
you may try installing fresh and seeing if that works?

If you’re not using MAMP you should be :)

Maybe we can yet get this solved?

shermer · 2006-05-04 14:32:48

im not running mamp on my mac. but im running xampp(freshly installed and a fresh install of textpattern) on my pc and im still getting the same error message when i try to install the plugin. i’ve tried switching between versions 4 and 5 of php but its still not working.
