Hello,
I'd like to report a strange behaviour (bug?) by this mod. It's regarding the map icon in threads. It seems that when somebody with map entry posts in thread all subsequent posts are also marked with the same map icon (eg. posts of the users which don't have any map entry). The links by all posts of all users lead to the same map position of the user with map entry. Thread looks like this:
post 1 - user A - no map entry, no map icon
post 2 - user B - map entry, map icon leading to position of user B
post 3 - user A - no map entry BUT map icon leading to position of user B

Hi,
I'd like to report one more possible bug in this mod. Repeatedly strange pins appear on the map in the middle of Atlantic (see the attached screenshot). They don't belong to any member and they're all at the same place. After rebuilding of member map database they disappear but soon they're back. Unfortunately I can't tell exactly which steps lead to this behaviour but one member reported that he pinned the right location and after saving he was always automatically moved to the equator...

one more thing... When I click on the pin on the map to get information about that user,  the map automatically zooms out to some "standard zoom" setting (map shows the whole country). With many users/pins on the map it means that I get immediately lost. And sometimes it works the other way round - it zooms all the way in and the chosen pin is not on the screen. I would expect that the zoom remains the same regardless clicking on the pins until it's intentionally changed.

P.S.: Please take my reports only in a positive way! I like this mod very much and it's very important for my forum.

Thank you!

Hello

It could be that this not realy a bug .... what have you set by the Map MarkerClusterer settings?

I can remember me when i have test the Mod and set the value too high ... there was a problem with the Marker.

I used the standard setting (cluster size 3, grid size 10) but it works in the same way even if I switch it off completely. I simply can't zoom in on the city and click on individual pins. After first click the map zooms out to country level.

Yes, that's the problem with users located on the equator. For example user "chalus1" has no lat/lon values in his profile or .vars file but still there's a record in membermap.db: chalus1|||||cz
The result is that he's not in the pin-list but he has a pin with his name on the map (0 lat/ 0 lon).

edit: So I tried the map function with "test-user" and the result is clear. When the user just picks the country (which visually seems not related to membermap) and doesn't put the pin on the map, the entry in the database is created with zero values. This should probably be corrected in the next version Wink 

edit2: BTW the entries remains in the database even if all values incl. counry are deleted. That means for the users that it's impossible to take their pins out of the map.

Hello

@shodam1

Can you replace your Sources/MemberMap.pm with attach MemberMap.pm on your Server ....

This should fix the emty lat/long display on Map.

Thanks a lot but I'm afraid there must be something wrong with that file - replacing it made my map completely disappear. There's just member list but no map.
