TOPIC: Map is not showing at all

I installed the 2.0.3 version on my site (J1.6), created a category and a marker, and created a menu link to the component. Not bad for a newbie
However... the map is not showing at all! I changed every option (I think) to see what happened, but no luck. Am I missing something (rhetorical question)?
I would appreciate it if someone would have a look at it. Just send me an pm and I'll create an account.

Hi Daniel,
I already have an account (Felcor). Anything wrong with the forum? If I try to go to your profile to send you a pm, I end up on my own profile page and cannot go back to the forum (need to link back through the Latest Forum Posts...
Even if I click on your name under Most Active Users, I'll go to my own profile...
Can I send you the details trough the contact page?

Hm, that is really strange. (I also saw that your previous message was with your username and not as guest...) Yes, use the contact page.

Done. And thanks!!

Ok, I'll tell you why it is not working, but first!

Disable this shitty javascript that pops up when you right click on the page - that is really annoying and doesn't help you to stop people of copyrighting your content!

Anyway, back to your problem. Your template is using a compress mechanism for css and js . It is merging all files into one. Which is ok, if it was doing it in the right order..., but it isn't! Most probably if you disable this compress option in your template the component will start to work out of the box as usual!
those 2 should be in reverse order and you need to load mootools somewhere before that.

Daniel

Keep in mind; as a newbie, I am a kid in a candystore! LOL
Than again, you are correct. Deleted as a good boy

Template WAS compressing. Disabled it, and ... all works fine now.
Thanks for your quick support!.

Hey Felcor,
Compression is not bad, you'll just have to find a way to do it properly
Cheers,
Daniel

Thank you Felcor! Hopefully the other will get a note and follow your example

Hi

I'm having the same problem - no map.

I've unchecked GZip in the Global Config but it makes no difference. Spent all morning researching but can't find where the problem might be? Starting to get a little frustrated now

Can anyone please help?

Wow! Thanks for your super quick response

You have javascript errors on the page...
Although the mtupgrade plugin is turned on, later on in the code you include mootools 1.1:
www.poledancecommunity.co.uk/templates/i...pts/mootools.v1.1.js

You'll have to remove this and after that the map will most probably start to work.

wow, actually later on you include 1.1 again:
www.poledancecommunity.co.uk/templates/i...pts/mootools.v1.1.js

This seems to be one really bad template...

thank you for great advice and service. Impressed and grateful

yeah the template has had a lot of abuse since it was new. More patches than a quilt! Its overdue for a whole site rebuild but I'm daunted by the work! sighs

re my mootools v1.1 references, if I just delete the v1.1.js file, is that too brutal a fix, or should I be going through the template code, changing all references to v1.1 to point to the v2.2.js file?

Ive simply renamed the old v1.1 file and the map now loads fine. Can I get away with this or am I inviting problems later?

what do you mean with renamed? Is it now loading with the template?
I thought that your dropdown menu is build for mootools 1.1 and when you remove it, then the menu is not going to work. But if it is working, then you can leave it like this. Generally it is a bad idea to have more than 1 javascript framework on the page, it adds to the pageload and actually makes the page slower on the user's browser.

Daniel

P.S. If you are happy with the component and support, it will be really nice if you could make a review here:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/maps-a-...-locations/maps/9468

I've taken v1.1 off and my drop down menu seems fine.

Its all working just as it should, so thanks to you for your quick and good advice.

Its clear to me that I really should rebuild the site on a better template and I am impressed that your map works on such an old joomla version (in legacy mode too!).

You definitely need a better template - at the end this is a website for pole dancers - it should be funky
