Ready for Beta Testers

[David]

We now have a release ready, and need some beta testers.
Here are the requirements:
1) You are willing to post the url where you installed it here in the forums, and you will attempt to install it within 48 hours of receiving the download package.
2) You are willing to grant access to your admin and ftp if requested
3) You understand support may be limited at times.
4) If you end up wanting to continue running the software on your site after final release, you will pay the licensing fee but with a 50% discount. We don't have a final price, but it should be in the neighborhood of $10-25 for link back version and $15-75 for the unbranded version.
5) You will maintain a link back to the PHP Maps site during the testing period (both branded and unbranded will be available in final release)

Simply reply to this thread if you would like me to PM you the download information and agree to the above.

Thanks,
David

is this the same one that I am beta testing now or is it updated

Sorry just realized this wasn't for phpld its for the map which I don't use

[proprod]

I will try it out, David. This one always had me intrigued anyhow. I tried to implement something similar on SSLD (http://links.scrabblestop.com), but didn't pan out.

[bochgoch]

I'm interested, would like to give it a go....cheers

[shadav]

I could test run it if ya like...

[tomsa]

I'm interrested too David :)

[David]

Great, I sent the beta to everyone.

[bochgoch]

Installing now -- will report back on how I get on!

Good, thanks for letting me know. Good luck with the install.

[proprod]

Took a while to get it tweaked to install... quick question.. where is {$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT} set in this one? It set my doc_root to domain.com/admin, so in admin panel links point to domain.com/admin/admin

[proprod]

I have a few issues thus far, hehe.. should we create a board for maps beta testers? Because others are going to have the issues I'm having.

[bochgoch]

I assume I have to enter database settings into the config.php -- is it safe to install into a database that is already used for phpld or does it need a clean db?

[proprod]

The way this is going, make a new one for it. And yes, edit config.php manually. Then, remove these lines from install/index.php:

Content visible to registered users only.

Then, install will proceed... but note, the database is not set up properly for the addition of the google api key and I'm not sure what more I can do without the proper database setup.

[tomsa]

Hi
thanks to proprod i could access to the install process. But i have a problem on step 3

Tomsa

[shadav]

same as tomsa....thanks to proprod i was able to get past the DataBase Error and enter the db info and create the admin account....but then i get the same message as tomsa....

[edit] nevermind...I had put in the wrong DB Name...dang typos lol

though question in the install it says
Content visible to registered users only.that's only one folder...what are the other 3 or is this a misprint?

also don't forget to either remove the install folder or change permissions to something like 400, 600, or 700...me i prefer to remove it entirely....

[edit again] lol yeah i see what proprod was talking about now.....inside the admin all the links go to admin/admin/

[shadav]

ok 2 questions...how to make address optional
and i keep getting a message that the google maps api key was created for another site (something along those lines)

nevermind, abot making the address optional...
in the new php changed
Content visible to registered users only.
to
Content visible to registered users only.

and in the new.tpl
find
Content visible to registered users only.
change to
Content visible to registered users only.

[shadav]

um ok.....my listing has dissappeared???
I added myself to the map went to admin
typed in domain.tld/admin/approve.php
(since the link is doing the admin/admin/approve.php thing)
The link was there...I pressed on the edit button and it took me again to the admin/admin/ so I went back and now my link is gone, it no where to be found it's not pending and it wasn't added.....

I have to get to work but i'll be back online tonight...roughly in about 7-8 hours if you need my admin/ftp in just lemme know
the site btw is
{non working url removed}

[bochgoch]

Following on from....

Content visible to registered users only.

What about templates_c can permissions be set back to 755 from 777?

[bochgoch]

When I enter the API key the screen tells me it's been updated, but the value on screen is reset to GOOGLE_API_KEY. Looking in the db, I now have one record for each time I've updated with an empty id.

So I've deleted all records with my api key except for one and set the ID to GOOGLE_API_KEY ... just guessing!

[edit] Seems OK with that ... key is displayed in the correct place.

[bochgoch]

Seems to be getting somewhere.... however, map is up but when I click a state I get ....
Content visible to registered users only.Think I need some further help....

Hello all!

I'm a developer of phpMaps software, here i will try to help you with possible problems.

Content visible to registered users only.

DOC_ROOT initialized in "init.php". Dont sure why you want to set this variable manually?

Content visible to registered users only.

If you will use existing db with some tables already created its ok, phpMaps installer doesnt truncate your db, he just create new tables (LISTING, CITY, STATE, USER, CONFIG). So if you doesnt have tables with those name in your db then no problem.
In next release we will use a table prefixes and it help user to get phpMaps tables with unique names.

Sorry, its a misprint, fixed :)

Content visible to registered users only.

"templates_c" directory should have write permissions.

Looks like you have problems with Rewriting Urls (mod rewrite issue).

Content visible to registered users only.

I tried to take a look at the init.php in the root folder and the admin folder....though i don't know what i'm looking for....

the problem is that when in the admin section any of the links in there when clicked tries to go to
domain.tld/admin/admin/extention.php

when it should be
domain.tld/admin/extention.php

[James]

in the admin/init.php look for something like this:

define ('DOC_ROOT', substr ($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], 0, strrpos ($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], '/')));


make it this

define ('DOC_ROOT', '/admin');

[shadav]

this is what i had
define('DOC_ROOT', $doc_root);
I changed it to
define ('DOC_ROOT', '/admin');
and i'm still getting the same problem

in admin > init.php i have this
Content visible to registered users only.

[Dimitry]

Content visible to registered users only.

PM me your FTP info and i will fix it.

[shadav]

thanks, pm sent

[Dimitry]

We fixed it.
Just a quick solution for those who have like problem:
change a
Content visible to registered users only.
to
Content visible to registered users only.

in "admin/init.php" file.

Also users who have like problem can have problem in login.php, if there any users who have it i will attach a new login.php.

Those issues will be included in next release.

[regg]

I will help. but ... i must have the Map from Germany...

[bochgoch]

What plans are there for other countries than the USA -- I'd be happy to be involved with a UK version?

[shadav]

Where do you put the code for the Google API? I put it into the admin section under settings and it said it saved it but yet shows GOOGLE_API_KEY in the box
and i keep getting an error message saying that the code was registered for another site!

and also...I forgot a step (for the admin)
To make the address optional:
Content visible to registered users only.

edit admin > listing_edit.php
find Content visible to registered users only.replace with Content visible to registered users only.edit templates/admin > listing_edit.tpl
find Content visible to registered users only.replace with Content visible to registered users only.

[David]

Sorry everyone, but at the moment this script is on hold. A lot more improvements are needed for public release, and we have some other projects that have priority right now. Hopefully, this one can be restarted at a later date.

[shotoshi]

I was looking forward to something like this. For my directory project, which is geographically based, I need a mapping solution such as Google Maps.

[David]

Yes, I'm sorry. We will probably revamp the regional directory script to include this feature.

[David]

Right now, this script is on hold.

[shadav]

um sorry but....Content visible to registered users only.
