TOPIC: HotSpots V3 - EDIT function and map problem

Dear all,

I've made a test installation of the new HotSpots V3 on my site there I found the following problems:

- Mapview and google chrome: Map is loading the Hotspots but not showing on the map. After selecting a single Hotspot by the side menue it shows the details and Zooms to the position but still no Icons. Single Hotspot function is working with chrome. (InternetExplorer 8 working without problems)

- EDIT function, after selecting the hotspot: Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /www/htdocs/w00d72ae/components/com_hotspots/utils.php on line 84 - "LOADING DATA" doesn't end

- Single Hotspot an IE 8: Map not loading

This is the site I've used for testing: www.geogalaxy.de/map1

To except problems with my template, I've changed to default template "Atomic" and found the same problems.

Many thanks for your assistance

Torsten

Could you please change to the beez template or atomic? When I look at the hotspots in chrome I see that the infowindow is missing the bottom and of course - the marker image as well. I really think that here we have some kind of css problem.

Edit function - it should actually be only available to registered users and not to everyone. If you login and try to edit you should go to the edit screen and not to a map screen.

- IE8 single hotspot - confirmed. I'll fix that for 3.0.1

Cheers,
Daniel

Also on the add map page I saw that your login form falls bellow the map - there is a bug in the html code. I've closed a </fieldset> in the wrong location and that is why it happens. This will be addressed as well in 3.0.1

Dear Daniel,

Many Tanks for your quick reply.
As I wrote in my first post, I've still changed to Atomic template (default and unchanged) and this is The active template.
I've now activated the beez template with the Same problems on Chrome/Safari.

Edit: Same problem for Users logged in or not (I've only activated anonymous edit temporarily to show you the problem)

Kind regards Torsten

I found the problem with single hotspots and IE8

in components/com_hotspots/views/hotspot/tmpl/default.php on line 70:should be
This will be also in the next version.

Can you make an akeeba backup of that site and send it to me? I don't understand why that happens and the other test sites that I have don't have that problem.

Daniel

Dear Daniel,

now I've performed a second Joomla installation on my Server, installed newest Joomla updates, installed Hotspots and nothing changed on the site/Hotspots --> same result

Second installation: www.geogalaxy.de/map/

I will try to perform an akeeba backup tomorrow and send it to you by mail.

Kind regards Torsten

I definitely don't understand that, but nearly the same version as 3.0 is running here:
demo.compojoom.com/dev/index.php/hotspots#!/catid=3;1

And it works fine in chrome...
Daniel

Dear Daniel,

this is really strange... Maybe it's a problem with my Server provider or with the joomla auto installation provided by them?
I've performed the backup of the second page now.
Can you please tell me the mail address to send the backup to?


EDIT as general information: I had an HotSpots V 2 installation on my first posted site and this Hotspot Version was running without any problem! So the problems with chrome only exist with the V3 not general with HotSpots

I've found it! It seems that if you don't select a category shadow break the markers in chrome... The minute I selected the shadow in the category the marker popped up in chrome.

Well, don't forget to tell this in a review here:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/maps-a-...-locations/maps/9468


And thank you for reporting the problems! Only way to fix them - is to actually be aware of them.
Cheers,
Daniel

Dear Daniel,

I'm very sorry that i have to reactivate this thread, but the Edit function has still a Problem:
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /www/htdocs/w00d72ae/ocmap/components/com_hotspots/utils.php on line 84

It does not make any difference if users are logged in or not.

Maybe you still have The mail with the Password for my Site to check this?


Many thanks in advance

Torsten

I have provided the solution here:
compojoom.com/forum/2-general-talk/17009...th-hotspots-v3#17012
It will be in the next version.
Daniel

Dear Daniel,

sorry for my late reply.
If changed the mentioned code in the router.php and confirm EDIT function is now working as expected

Many thanks

Torsten

Dear Daniel,

sorry for disturbing you again, but I think I've found another Bug.
When I deactivate the right slider through the backend then the categorie icons on the upper menu are also deactivated / not visible.

And one question, is it possible to keep the right slider closed until users click the open button? I've found an Thread someone else asked for auto open, but I don't know if it would work with the new version and which file I have to change


Many thanks in advance

Torsten

Hey Torsten,
Actually it is not a bug, but the way it works. I can't remember anymore the exact details why I decided to remove the categories from there, but it had something to do with version 2.0 and javascript errors when the menu was not there... Now with version 3 I think that we don't need this anymore and I'll have to look at the code and eventually re-enable the categories.

About the right bar - no you can't leave it close currently. I don't consider this to be a problem - what I consider a problem is the fact that once you close it and you move around it opens again. And that is somewhat annoying. I need to change this one as well in the next release.

Kind regards,
Daniel

P.S. by using in "one of the next releases" I actually mean in the next 1-2 weeks.

Hi Daniel,

thanks for this information, it would be great to have a choice (through backend) to keep the side menu open or close on site load and the users have to open it. This will mostly affect users with 4:3 displays or tablets (the visible map is extremely reduced by the side menu on small displays/4:3)

Kind regards Torsten

Dear Daniel,

regarding the "jumping" Menu/Login caused by the </fieldset> problem above, can you please provide me the file/code I have to change to fix it (I've installed it on my production sites and the menu is jumping to the end when opening ADD LOCATION (except when logged in as Admin-User then it's working).

Another problem maybe also caused by the problem above is the Add HotSpot Site, when used by Guest or logged in User the Site seems to be different from the Site when logged in as Admin-User and only as Admin it's possibe to use line breaks in the Description (as User the line breake's get lost after sending the HotSpot).

And one more also Add HotSpot Site, recaptcha is only working for Admin-User (I think this is caused by access right's on recaptcha folder? Which folder do I have to check?)


Many thanks in advance
Torsten
