jafar - a Question IP:213.6.236.35 | 2008-08-04 08:08:34 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 11:19:56 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 IP:213.6.251.39 | 2008-08-04 16:21:25 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 | 2008-08-04 23:32:34 Jafar, the position used in the demo is the footer position.

Kevin - Initial settings IP:194.213.214.82 | 2008-08-05 04:32:08 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.

Jafar - To Dart IP:213.6.221.65 | 2008-08-05 13:07:39 Thanks a lot Dart, this is what i was searching for :)

dchewus - Not showing up Registered | 2008-08-25 17:03:09 is there a reason why users won't show up on the map? i'm asking my friends to visit the site to test -

DART - Users showing up Super Administrator | 2008-08-25 23:31:49 dchewus, give them a day or two ... they will show up soon.

rockandwater - Button image Registered | 2008-08-30 03:56:03 I like to know how i can take the image button out from the bottom, actually the image does not display correctly, i see a box and inside is "Joomla visitor map", can you help me? Thnaks

DART - Button image Super Administrator | 2008-08-30 07:43:31 We've published a new version which removes the image link.

rockandwater - My version of Google visitor m Registered | 2008-08-30 13:08:39 I downloaded my version from this page above, is that a latest version? Or do you have another link to the new version? Thank you for all you do for this joomla comunity. Oscar

DART - Latest version Super Administrator | 2008-08-31 00:37:32 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 13:20:18 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 | 2008-09-02 21:39:32 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 Super Administrator | 2008-09-03 00:03:12 Varma, please get in touch via Contact Us with address and possibly admin access so that we may troubleshoot.

DART - Markers Super Administrator | 2008-09-03 00:07:37 ... 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 | 2008-09-03 19:11:58 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 Super Administrator | 2008-09-04 00:24:21 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 ;)

bphupscher - error message Registered | 2008-10-07 09:34:32 Notice: Undefined variable: markers in /home/(my username)/domains/my site/public_html/modules/mod_j15visitormap/mod_j15visitormap.php on line 111 Hi, the module works fine, yet an error message is displayed above the map. Hope you have an answer, greetings Bernhard

DART - Error message Super Administrator | 2008-10-07 11:38:55 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 IP:212.45.32.215 | 2008-10-08 04:05:04 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

DART - Error message Super Administrator | 2008-10-08 05:39:21 Excellent, good to know you're sorted.

vickis - New feature is fantastic!! Registered | 2008-10-21 13:03:43 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!
