    jafar  - a Question   |213.6.236.xxx |2008-08-04 14:08:34
    this is a great extension for Joomla
    but i have a question
    how can i post it in
    the front page in the bottom middle just beneath the news or articles there
    not
    on the left nor on the right

    thanks in advance
    best regards
    DART  - Module placement   |Registered |2008-08-04 17:19:56
    Hi jafar, the position where you put the map depends only on the template you
    are using. You need to assign the module to a template position which
    corresponds to the area you want.
    Jafar  - Position   |213.6.251.xxx |2008-08-04 22:21:25
    i am using the default template of Joomla, and i saw a demo for this extension
    where the map is displayed beneath the news in the front page, so i am wondering
    what is that position name.
    thanks in advance
    DART  - Position   |Registered |2008-08-05 05:32:34
    Jafar, the position used in the demo is the footer position.
    Kevin  - Initial settings   |194.213.214.xxx |2008-08-05 10:32:08
    Hi, can you tell me how to set a particular initial zoom level, and centre of
    map focus?

    How did you achieve this with regards to your screen
    shots?

    Regards.

    Oscar, the new version replaced the older version with the image in the
    Downloads section. If you downloaded it again after our comment, you should have
    the latest version.
    explorien86  - users   |Registered |2008-09-02 19:20:18
    I was wondering, do the visitors need to be registered to the website to be
    pinned? I've had the module running for a few days now and only have two pins
    while a lot of unregistered users have visited the site.
    varma  - Blank page after publishing   |Registered |2008-09-03 03:39:32
    I published this module and configured the API that i was using for
    gmaps.

    The next moment my home page is turned to blank

    I unpublished and
    my site up again. Could you please let me know if there is any known issue. I
    love to have this module on my website
    DART  - Blank Page   |SAdministrator |2008-09-03 06:03:12
    Varma, please get in touch via Contact Us with address and possibly admin access
    so that we may troubleshoot.

    ... do take a bit of time to start showing up. It is important that your server
    has access to the URL http://api.hostip.info since this is used to determine the
    coorodinates of the current user.
    explorien86  - markers   |Registered |2008-09-04 01:11:58
    Dart;
    The http://api.hostip.info URL works perfectly for myself, (and on the
    visitor map too) but for one of my testers the URL doesnt show any info at all
    on where they are located, is there a firewall/routing issue there?
    glitch?
    Thanks
    DART  - Markers   |SAdministrator |2008-09-04 06:24:21
    If its works on the server which hosts the Joomla site, then it should show up
    fine. If the IP does not produce any location info, it won't show up on the
    visitor map

    Hi,
    the module works fine, yet an error message is displayed above the
    map.
    Hope you have an answer,
    greetings

    DART  - Error message   |SAdministrator |2008-10-07 17:38:55
    This is just a warning. You should disable PHP warnings on your website, by
    putting:

    display_errors = Off

    in your php.ini file
    Bernhard  - Error message   |212.45.32.xxx |2008-10-08 10:05:04
    Hi,
    If it is just a warning and I don;t have access to php.ini...
    ...I inserted
    the line: error_reporting(0);
    into mod_j15visitormap.php That solves it
    too!
    Thanks,
    Bernhard

    Joomla Visitor Map was great already, but with the added parameters of latitude,
    longitude and zoom it's even better, especially for those who are not [yet]
    looking at the world for their custom. Many thanks for an excellent and easy to
    use product!

    indiobestia  - Problem Joomla 1.5   |71.133.125.xxx |2009-01-15 23:56:34
    I don't know if it is a known issue or something, but I installed the module and
    where ever I publish it, that whole page does not display
    I have my API key for
    the site, my longitude and latitude and everything, but it does not give me any
    error, just does not displays a blank page.

    Have you heard about something like
    this before?

    Thanks.
    DART  - Does not display   |Administrator |2009-01-16 06:22:23
    Noone has reported this before. Its probably throwing some kind of error,
    however unless you can see the error, its hard to determine what is really
    cuasing it

    Darren  - Map of Registered Users     |140.247.26.xxx |2009-01-25 19:26:51
    This module is great - is there a way to modify it so that registered users can
    enter their location, and then have the module display a map of the locations of
    all registered users? Thanks!
    DART  - Feature Request   |Administrator |2009-01-26 13:56:08
    Hi Darren,

    not at the moment. I suggest you enter this into the Feature
    Requests lists on our Forums,and this will hopefully be implemented in the
    future!

    DART   |Administrator |2009-09-30 17:41:25
    You need to set a setting on php to disable warnings and notices. Unless you
    have errors, the Visitor Map will work ok. The markers take a few hits before
    they start registering correctly.
    FMCIEN  - Streaming Argentino     |190.138.10.xxx |2009-10-01 19:52:39
    I' don't nknow why, not show error, buts the maps no see, its blanc
