Can't see markers description?

StreamAlex · Post by **StreamAlex** » 02 Mar 2011, 09:43

When I try to hover a marker the icon still is this:

. And I cant click at the marker.

My markers description worked fine a couple of days ago. But now they suddenly dont. I havent changed anything at the site since last time they worked.

Joomla 1.6

Can't give you website address sorry.

Someone in the phoca crew must have the answer?

Same here using Phoca Maps 2.0.0 RC on J 1.6.

I'm using external marker icons, switching to the default ones provided by Phoca Maps seams to circumvent the problem.
As mentioned here I didn't changed my Phoca Maps configuration these days as well.

Investigating further I found more people having similar problems. In one thread a hint is given:

Perhaps this is the time to remind you of what the documentation says
about not specifying a version:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/docume ... asics.html

+ Choosing an API version
+ The following guidelines apply when choosing the appropriate API
+ version for your Maps API V3 application:
+ + Production applications should always specify a minor version
+ + (eg. 3.2, 3.3, etc.).

A local version of your map (minus many of the includes) works, so you
might investigate either
1. calling out version 3.3

Source: http://groups.google.com/group/google-m ... bf9b421fb5

Looking in the Phoca Maps source code at [myjoomlafolder]/components/com_phocamaps/views/map/tmpl/default.php line 92 says:

Code: Select all

	echo $map->addAjaxAPI('maps', '3.x', $this->tmpl['params']);

Using a template override (copy default.php to [templatedir]/html/com_phocamaps/map) and changing the code to

Code: Select all

	echo $map->addAjaxAPI('maps', '3.3', $this->tmpl['params']);

fixed the problem here.

Maybe a workaround until a official patch is released.

el-it-e: Thank you so so much!! It worked perfectly.

Weird that no admin/crew had this answer or any other answer to this problem.

You're welcome!

Weird that no admin/crew had this answer or any other answer to this problem.

Maintaining a bunch of extensions is very time consuming and difficult to manage just in spare time. I'm afraid there is barely time left to answer all support problems.
So if we, the user community, could help each other, the project maintainer(s) can focus on code development.

I was receiving JavaScript error upon displaying marker with custom Icon. The above code solved this also.
Just mention, if you are displaying map using plugin, you have to change the code also in the plugin. There is no override for this, the original file have to be modified.

Hello

I am having the same problem again.

As seen in
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/docume ... asics.html

"Versions 3.0 to 3.3 have been retired."

changing

Code: Select all

       echo $map->addAjaxAPI('maps', '3.3', $this->tmpl['params']);

to

Code: Select all

       echo $map->addAjaxAPI('maps', '3.4', $this->tmpl['params']);

does not work

Neither 3.4 and 3.5

anyone with the same problem?

Thanks
