Drupal or what ever his organizations name is, was not the first person or business to implement a "Doha Map" on the web. If you will view the link which I will provide at the end of this message you will notice that there is another "Doha Map" out on the web and was released with affective promotion and marketing stragtegy compared to the computers

The purpose of this message is to stop Drupal and his organization from releasing false information regarding the "First Doha Map" in Qatar. Please view the link below so that you can judge who was the first one to release "Doha Map" and which "Doha Map" you would prefer to use!

Thank you for your time and consideration

I have been struggling to make this project because all the modules are very old in the video but have I done it right here http://www.tinemuller.dk/drupal/? Scroll down a little to see the crime info.

Maybe someone could tell me how to make the View if it's correct done until now?

Wish someone would make an updated video, please.

So, I've been looking to do exactly what you made here, and it's been a great help.

My only question is, what module creates that "GOOGLE MAP LINK" that I see on ur node? I thought I installed everything that was needed, but maybe I didn't? I can't get everything you have done, with that exception, which prevents the map view to show properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to something seemingly easy but it appears to be an uphill battle for me.

1. I have created a content type called Map
2. I made sure I could use the location feature in the content type and I enabled it to input the regular address part
3. When I try it out, I put in the values of an address and then submit it but I don't see a google map, instead I see a link to google map
4. I created a view, with gmap:view and added the required fields of long and lat (not sure why you have to add this because I don't want it to be displayed)
5. I review the view but to my dismay, it only displays a map of USA as set in the gmap configuration with no markers what so ever.
6. I continue to pull my hair out, bit by bit but that doesn't help.

I posted this here because you guys seem to have this whole thing pegged and seem to understand it in detail. Hoping for some assistance.

Chris W

I am looking for the opportunity to improve the performance for drupal. Thanks for tips.

Thank you for your work on this tutorial.

I believe I followed directions working with 5 but my map isn't showing. I'm scratching my head. I'm developing a site for a fledgling SF non-profit with limited funds. Do you have any time time to walk me through the process a little?

I appreciate your consideration, Erika

Missing the gmap_view, which was incorporated later, but this is one of the simplest tutorials I've seen yet showing the power of Drupal.

Excellent work.

Generally greeat, but:

Don't quite understand where to put these Macros....

Also how would Drupal know to apply it.

Does it work without latitude/long..tude? (With addresses)
(For now I am forced to supply some values, and I supply 0.0).

Thanks

I can recite your podcast from memory -- have been to my plants, I think....

Can you help?

All's in order: csv (with long and lat), check, gmap-locations-views modules, check, content type matches up and csv import's fine.... still, no "see map" link, even though there's long and lat in "location info" in individual nodes... doesn't seem to be pulling the map info off the long and lat. (there's data in the location info on the node level, but no map in location although lat and long are present... I can zoom until "you're too close" prints to screen....)

I know, you've been the go to guy for this for (too long), but do you have any ideas? Please, I think my plants are getting tired of hearing about field types and views.... and I'm becoming a vegetable.

Thanks A LOT for all your indispensible info.

Great tutorial and really easy to follow. All is working fine and dandy except the markers and information bubble are distorted;

Have I missed something - or do you have any tips on how I can get them to display correctly?

Thanks for making it straightforward so far!

Thanks so much for this great tutorial (and for submitting your code to views and/or gmaps module). After watching it, I made my own mashup of authentic Mexican restaurants in Vancouver.

Wow ... this is very impressive !!

I'm having trouble finding the node_import module that will work with Drupal 4.7.3. Can anyone tell me where to look?

Thanks!

Did anyone have nayluck on getting this to work with some of the newer versions of the modules? I am having trouble with the node import module and the locations module. If anyone has updated instructions it would be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to figure out a similar process for a while. I tried following the screencast, but after installing CCK and enabling all the new data types / modules, I end up seeing only "text" as a possible field type. Under admin->content I only see "content types" as a submenu option, not content type settings. No integer form available, even after enabling the "content", "number" and "option" modules.

Thoughts? Drupal 4.7 + CiviCRM.

Dave.

How do I center the map where I want it? is there somewhere to enter a gmap macro?

This is very slick thanks for a great demo.

Excellent - thank you very much!

Not sure what's happening here, but my CVS versions of CCK and node_import just don't seem to want to talk to each other?? The CCK content type "crime" is not visible in the node_import dropdown box?

If anyone could shed any light on this for me, I'd really appreciate it!

Hey thanks for this great videocast Zacker!

Just a heads up to anyone trying this for the first time, I was also installing the CCK module etc for the first time, and found that when trying to add a new content type, I hit 4 errors "Cannot use a scalar value as an array..."

It's been reported and confirmed here -
http://drupal.org/node/64905

I'm looking foward to when this is fixed, because following video guides like this is my favorite way to learn to do neat tricks!

How would I go about finding the previous known good CCK module?

cheers

Really enjoyed the screencast. Real examples are the best way to learn drupal. I have a couple of question after trying to duplicate your example.
1) how did you get the date field in CCK? I can't find it in the version I tried.
2) It looks like you have to get a google maps key. Any advice on that process?

That was so rad I peed a little.

Thanks for the videocast! It's really great to see the possibilities of using Drupal and even better to learn how to implement them.
