Google Map Plugin - Anyone got this working???

[FSGDAG]

Does anyone have the Google Map Plugin working??? I installed it the other night and all I'm getting is the same map located at Wichita, Kansas. Obviously the address is NO WHERE near there

Just so you know, I changed my custom fields to match those of the plugin and still no joy.

Haven't used it yet, I'll see if I can get one of the programmers to tell you how it works.

wichita kansas is default location for search point,
you can drag the search point to reach the nearest location and finding link in certain radius distance.

if you have installed this plugin, the system will automatically add some custom field (address, City, Zip Postal, State, and Country) and alter new column in idx_link_tmp table (pl_address, pl_city, pl_zip_postal,pl_state,pl_country) and create new table call idx_us_poscode_locator.

idx_us_postalcode_locator used for postal code, latitude, longitude and zip postal code storage, this zip code table being matched with postal code in idx_link table for search location of link.

if you want to change default location, please go to plugin/google_us_maps_search/template/map_search.html,
and change default latitude point in map_search.html file, mine at line 45 and line 66.

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.718590,-97.382813), 5); line 45
var point = new GLatLng(37.718590,-97.382813); line 66.

in the future, plug in can be setted dynamically for database custom field and default point location.

please redownload the plugin, the plugin has been updated by fahrul.

thanks

I've downloaded the updated Google Map Plugin, but what is the best way for me to install the updated version??? I'm pretty sure if you want to update a plugin, you must uninstall the plugin, then re-activate it. If I uninstall the plugin, its going to delete all my custom fields with data in them.

[maulana]

ok FSGDAG, we've made ticket for you, fahrul will handle this.

thanks

Save the fields (export), uninstall, reinstall, import.

Thanks guys... I got your PM maulana and I also received the open ticket I'm going to try this on my own real fast, probably tomorrow morning. If I fail miserably, I'll update the ticket and have you guys take a look real fast

Thanks for going to the extra mile
