1- Deal with tiki-gmap_usermap.php and templates/tiki-gmap_usermap.tpl in a way that takes into account upgraders via FTP

2- Review any gmap-specific wishes to see if anything is still useful, and thus, move to general map category and for the rest, close with "won't fix" or "outdated"

3- Review all instances of gmap and googlemap in the code base

Hi all,

when I go to Messages from 'Application Menu>Control Panel>Messages',
I can see the section "Activate the feature" and the possibility to acticate/deactivate the feature. But when I want to see the Settings through the 'Actions' nothing is displayed. The page is refreshed, but the Settings aren't shown.

The same behabiour I have experienced with Webmail and Maps.


Cheers,
Manel

At the Cartograph set up page under the "Instructions" heading. Item number 5 has an invalid URL directing the user to a website to obtain mapping icons.

{CODE()}5. Upload in the File Gallery (in the "Icons" gallery folder) some icons that can be used as markers on the maps. A great source is: https://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/. You can upload a zipped file and ask Tiki to unzip the files.{CODE}

The website url https://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/ appears to be either invalid or non-existent.

The following url is the url I believe we are trying to reach https://mapicons.mapsmarker.com/

Tiki admin should not hit error / issue because of this


"Warning: Version 2 of the Google Maps JavaScript API is no longer available for new applications and will be turned down for existing applications on November 19, 2013. Please follow the guide to migrate your code to version 3 of the Google Maps JavaScript API. As of November 19, 2013, all applications requesting v2 will be served a special, wrapped version of the v3 API instead. We expect this wrapped version of the API will work for most simple maps, but we strongly encourage you to migrate to the v3 API immediately."

Here is an example:

It's no longer possible to get v2 keys so this should be addressed

This is the ((Tracking system for Tiki issues)).
If this is your first time, please read: ((How to Submit a new item on the Wishlist))

There was a feature introduced at some point in the past which allowed to fetch a geolocation in map out of the information provided by a user as a text string in a tracker field to hold postal address information.

This feature doesn't seem to be working anymore in Tiki 19, at least, in some tests I've done.
I expect to reproduce this issue in a show.t.o instance in short.
---
Update: I couldn't reproduce it in a show instance because show.t.o is not ready to make instances with php 7.1+ like the ones required by Tiki19.
Therefore, I changed topic in this bug report to reflect the issue with show.t.o instances, and the report about tracker field location failing to get coordinates has been moved to:
https://dev.tiki.org/item6943-Failure-to-get-geolocation-from-searching-an-address-either-manually-typing-address-through-tracker-field-location-ui-or-in-the-backend-with-params-to-get-address-from-other-tracker-field

To be used with Google Maps & Tiki Maps to show locations of tracker items.

For example, the venues of phpbeer.com:
http://phpbeer.com/tiki-view_tracker.php?trackerId=1

Importantly, Google Maps Javascript API V3 is simply just faster than v2. Another big plus is that V3 does not need an api key. The currently used v2 api's key verification is known to have problems. It is also deprecated by google.

Perhaps something for Tiki7?

Or would not it be part of Tiki6 as optional and experimental?
