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.

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

You should email Rob and see if he has any ideas. he’s a cool dude.

This is a fantastic plugin – exactly whatI was looking for.

Unfortunately I run everything through firefox so it all worked brilliantly but it has been pointed out me that now my site can’t be viewed in IE (cannot be displayed OperationAborted) but works fine if I disable the plugin.

I know cap_nemo has pointed this out and come up with a solution but I’m a bit clueless when it comes to code so could someone tell me how to implement the solution? I did try bracketing the whole of the existing plugin with the code below but it gave me a parse error:

txp/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(459) : eval()’d code on line 1
The above errors were caused by the plugin:rss_google_map

Thanks!

I just found a HUGE setback. The google maps JS seems to totally hose up IE. I’m just now checking it. Any ideas? It looks like it’s also doing it on your about page.

UPDATE 2

I just fixed the IE issue. IE was trying to load the map before it was completely drawn, i think. Anyway, per this page’s reccommendation i added an additional function to the JS and it seems to work in IE now… SWEET!

window.onload = showMap;

function showMap() {

... all the code ...

}

Now, the only problem left is the multiple points and the incorrect address displaying!

Hey Gidden!

I see your problem. The code that actually fixes the IE bug is part of the javascript that the plug-in generates. Towards the bottom of the plugin you’ll need to add the showMap function, but it’s added as part of the markup generated by the plug-in. Check out this page to see how the javascript should look.

Please let me know if this isn’t clear. :)

hmm, can’t you use this plugin for showing other maps than US locations? any way around to use longtiude – altitude reference points? as I would like to show some maps for different countries i.e.

another thing, how do you find the reference points from yahoo maps, as I can’t find any locations anywhere else than by looking at the url adress field in the browser … thanks!

giddyn · 2006-05-14 12:01:13

cap_nemo – thanks for the quick response – it works brilliantly! Very impressive site by the way. Now off to wrestle with CSS Columns!

Shanghai – This may not be the best way, but I just use the cityfield as the international town and the state field as the country and it plots – I don’t think yahoo can do international addresses but for cities it seems fine.

If you want to get Lat & Long from Yahoo directly just type the following in your browser address bar:

http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=YahooDemo&location=

followed by the town and country separated by commas and it returns some code including the Latitude and Longitude. I hope that is some help.
