IE6 Winxp-pro w/latest security --- "IE was unable to open the website at URL xxxxxxx.... Operation aborted"



I can get the rest of your web site just refuses to open those links with the map?

Hi:



Works with Netscape 8. I guess it should work with MOzilla too. IE shows a nasty error tou...



Interesting work that can be expanded!!



NIce.

Paid a visit with FireFox ... GREAT module ... now if we can get it working for Internet Eplorer ....



I wonder what is blocking the link? The warning/error message said nothing.

Sorry for not testing with IE. I am running Linux at home Anyway .. I fixed the issue. Works now. Download a now version at the same location

Nice,



I will work on it tonight or in the coming days to encapsulate this into a simple module if you are interested. Although I won't make it use the Weblinks for that.

I tried to install the newest weblinksmap.php and it is still not working on my computer. I am using IE, Win XP pro, apache server and the new .762 PostNuke.

I wonder if the Call to google is not from my root dir since it tells me the key is not valid.

8. mosabua wrote on Apr 26, 2006 at 02:36 PM

You have to get a valid google key for your domain. So if you run it at home that has to be your machine name or localhost or whatever the local IP number is that you use to access the website. This is a restriction from Google. Once you got the key you have to insert it in the weblinksmap as you can read in the instructions on my site.

9. mosabua wrote on Apr 26, 2006 at 02:38 PM

Sure. Feel free to do that. Ultimately I think it should be part of the weblinks module but a separate module makes sense too. I just don't know enough about writing my own module and do not have to time to learn it (not that it would be a problem). Let me know how things go.

10. Chestnut wrote on Apr 26, 2006 at 03:02 PM

The reason I would not link the module to Web links is that having coordinates as part of a links does not make sense in 90% of the situations a Web links mod could be used in.



For the moment, I made a tiny table to save coordinates from registered users that add themselves to the map with their userid. In the long term, this could be changed to fetch the coordinates from the Dynamics user data...



... or from elsewhere... like the Web_Links. Next Web_links being pnAPI-pnRender, it will be a breeze to make a hook for the mod to use it.

P.S. : Preview or release this weekend probably.

Hi,



Do you use GoogleMapAPI ?

http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/GoogleMapAPI/



There is some examples to use it with Smarty.

So with this library it is possible to include Google maps in pnRender templates (for example with Pagesetter).



chaK!

12. mosabua wrote on Apr 28, 2006 at 03:57 AM

No. I am using the google maps API directly. No need to wrap it as far as I am concerned.

13. mosabua wrote on Apr 28, 2006 at 03:59 AM

Hm... so with this approach you could attach coordinates to all sorts of stuff. e.g. users, stories, weblinks and more.. that would be ideal!

14. Chestnut wrote on Apr 28, 2006 at 12:59 PM

On the long term, yes... for this weekend, it will simply have the uid and the coords...

15. Chestnut wrote on Apr 28, 2006 at 01:09 PM

No real need of the Google API class...

Your module has a number of interesting elements that would work with a project that I am working on. I worked with FEMA on Hurricane Katrina last year. One of our biggest challenges in the field is keeping track of resources, ie. Red Cross shelters, Disaster Recovery Centers, Points of distribution for food and water and last but not least actual locations of evacuees and damaged property. To assist in that effort I began to develop a system to track resources on a near real time basis. We started out using MS Streets and Trips. We would feed in addresses and then equate them to coordinates. Later we began using Google Earth. You can see the project at http://www.e-beams.com The Programmer that was assisting me was not familair with PN so he coded it using HTML.

Now to my question! Using your module how difficult would it be to write a front end that would feed GPS coordinates into the data base along with identifying information concerning the Waypoints?

I am slowly enhancing the module on my dev site to add special markers but I won't probably go that far as to create polylines and waypoint stuff.

But as all or most of the information is within the template, the output can of course be easily tweaked to your needs.
