MyMap: any live demos out there - any implementation in zikula 1.0xy  Bottom

  • g day zikulans,

    fairly new to Zikula. I need to implement a google (or something elese) map application. Heard bout the MyMap and now i wonder if this runs in zikula 1.0xx

    Any live demos out there - any implementation ...

    well - you get the code here http://code.zikula.org/mymap/downloads

    Anyone running this module in a zikula 1.0.xy - how to implement
    On the Cozi page there is nothing said how to treat the module - how to implement it
    and install it.


    look forward to hear from you
    cheers

  • hi AmmoDump

    thanx for the quick reply. I googled a little and found out some ways to include and implement the mod. See the examples i found

    http://www.packie.de light
    http://www.packie.de/city-guide/ full (but modularized as well, don´t ?)

    Q: how did this guy implement the module...?


    BTW: found another example
    http://www.netbiker.de/module-pnMap-showCard-card_id-13.html (dunno what is that!? )


    these are all my findings - nothing more...

  • Hello AmmoDump,


    [..sent you a PM]

    good day - thank you for the quick reply. Well i hope that we can solve the issues.

    well i grabbed the module and uploadet,installed and regenerated the module. Then i went to the site to administer the module: http://www.mypage.com/index.php?module=MyMap&type=admin

    Please choose the provider you want to use on your site. At least one key for one provider has to be stored here!

    API key to use Google Maps: ... well: it seems that i have to get a API-Key from the google-Team. How to proceed if i have this key. I want to make the map showing in one of these two modules:

    a. pages
    b. content

    is both possible. Do i have to make a Hook!?


    The Install-Instruction of the MyMap-Module says;

    Quote


    If you want to enable the insertion of maps into other modules
    like pnForum, Weblog, News etc. please activate the MyMap hook
    for these modules
    If you want to include a map in a pnForum posting for example
    just write ::mymap::5:: to display the map with the id "5".


    hmm hmmm - whatever that means

    Well i want to run the map in one of the both modules

    a. pages
    b. content

    -,... It would be nice to insert the pages module like the guy did on http://www.packie.de (light)

    BTW: (if we are looking at the hooks:) Well - if i go to the hook-panel of my site - i can read the following
    text:

    Quote


    Modules to be hooked to other modules, to provide them with enhanced functionality
    This administration category is empty. You have probably ended up here because you have administrative access to a module which is not in the default administration category.


    hmmm - do i need the hooks?! Or do i do neet them not..?

  • Where are you stuck, exactly. I installed as a test and had it working in 5 mins of download. I just followed the directions.

    Hooks are set in the module-Module list. They are the paperclip looking things.

  • Hello AmmoDump,

    thx for the rely. Nice to hear from you!

    i have achieved the API-code from Google - tried to fill in the code in the configuration of the Module. if i click on "Update the module" then the page returns with the same fields....

    Quote


    Administration interface for MyMap To use the MyMap module you need to register to at least one of the listed providers. Please store the API key that was genrated for your site here!


    it seems that there is something missing... I am pretty clueless. And as i have to get to _connet_ the module with some others - to appear in the

    a. content-module
    b. forums
    c. page-module?!?

    i guess that i have do something additonal!? Don t i?

    Do i need them acutally? Can you tell (and describe) me the default way to set up the appearance of the module in - let me say

    a. the pagemodule (if not possible the content-module)


    BTW - while i googled to find some nice demo installations i found the page

    http://www.packie.de/ (light)
    http://www.packie.de/city-guide/ (module-version)

    See his installation. I want to place a google-map-module at the my-start-page -
    simmilar to the solution on http://www.packie.de/

    As we have almost no demo-site with map-inclusion i would love to add my page to a demo or showcast forum.... icon_wink . Because open source matters


    conclusion: if you like then you can have a look at the page.- i sent you an PM with the login data to the page - and the API-key... which seems to be difficult to add to the administration-system...!?

  • If your google API key is on your page, then you are good.

    What happens when you try to use the module? Is there an error?

    Lets worry about setting up a map before moving them into other modules, first.

  • I dont see the issue with adding the API key, other than having the correct one icon_rolleyes icon_wink

    Everything seems to be working, but the API key is bad http://www.mädche…&func=display&mid=1

  • hello David,

    many thanks for the quick reply. I see that there is a huge progress.

    As for the API-key: no glue what went wrong.... What about the domain-name. Can the
    domain-name cause any troubles!? I am not sure - we have an ___ä___ in the domain-name. Can this character cause any troubles!?

    Anyway i will try to get a second key and will insert this new key in the admin - interface... Then - if all goes well the map that you created will appear in a propper way, doesn ´t .

    Hopefully i will get a second key - for the same domain. I will come back here an let you know how i proceed.

    For now: Many thanks to you for your great help!

    BTW: found another example

    This is not MyMap, this is pnMap. See http://www.ifs-net.de for more details.

  • hi again - hello quan, thanks for the information.


    well the troubles with the key are probably very obvious.... Heard that others have had that troubles too. The domain-name seems to run into troubles - have to translate the name into the punicode.... http://mapki.com/wiki/Punycode

    i will see what i can do - with the punycode...

    BTW i also am owner of maedchenhaus.org - perhaps i try to achieve a key for the maedchenhaus.org - name... Doe this work?

    i will try it out later today...


    BTW - any ideas how the guy on http://www.packie.de/ created the special way of appearance ... it looks nice and neat...

  • ä is the issue, I guess.

    Simple solution is to use your ascii compliant domain name...

  • hello David,

    many thanks for the answer.

    David, i am almost sure that you are right... I took the punycode for the domain, mädchenhaus.org - which is http://xn--mdchenhaus-q5a.org/

    i generated a new key at the google-site

    ABQIAAAAu7GtwftiN1wg0rXsVN-GIxRTG16O1lv4dP9laQGXnKCbGKAbSxRkvad2yh9FiVLCdT5y_RE6nvAubg

    and entered it at the admin-site of the mapsModule. The system told me that the data were updated correctly. So i am ready to test now...

    Hmmm - i guess that i try the trial-site that you linked in your posting. I will try out if this works... If not, i will try to change the domain-settings in a quiock way so that i can make sure to get the map-things running....

    But for now i try the map that you have created some hours ago... Hmm - if i succeed , the map will appear - doesn ´t it. Let us see.

    I come back and report my findings.

    update: well i thougth theat the key is right. But not at all... This was told to me when i created the key:

    Quote


    This key is good for all URLs in this directory:
    http://xn--mdchenhaus-q5a.org/
    ABQIAAAAu7GtwftiN1wg0rXsVN-GIxRTG16O1lv4dP9laQGXnKCbGKAbSxRkvad2yh9FiVLCdT5y_RE6nvAubg


    well after updating the stettings of the module i went to the site you have created...

    http://www.mädchenhaus.org/index.php?module=MyMap&func=display&mid=1


    i get the following response:

    Quote

    The key is generated for another domain - please create a new one


    well - i think that you are right - i have to try out the second solution.... the other domain name.... [in order to make sure that the key does not fit to my domain...ie. punycode...] i will come back and report my findings...
