Multiple location points inconsistent results

As others have voiced here, I too continue to have problems with a large number of location points (aprox. 100) shown when loaded from recordsets. Very inconsistent results.

I understand the concept of the _promaps_cache folder but it simply is not working, no xml file is being written and yes I have set the folder permissions to allow writing. The current version of Pro Maps is not working as designed nor is able to handle this many points correctly for me.

I have opened a ticket for you on this issue so we can look into it with you further. To update your ticket login and visit your support history.

supporthistory.php

Just downloaded the extension, and am using CS3, PHP/MySql, IE 8

Recordset has 41 entries, and a different number are displayed each time I refresh, and never over 15 at the same time.

The directory _promaps_cache has full read/write etc permissions on the remore server. But I do not see the xml file on local or remote.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Also how do I stop the information box displaying when you visit the page? It displays the info box for the first entry of the recordset - which looks incorrect when viewing 40 entries.

Final question, any ideas how to set the map to display the whole of the UK on start up?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Do you have a link where we can see this occurring? It will help us to understand what might be going on.

As for the info window you can comment out the line of code that makes it open by default, in the google_javascript folder in the wagmp_map_1.php file you can look for the lines like this:

if('address_0_<?php echo $Recordset1_id; ?>' == 'address_0_0')

            marker_0_<?php echo $Recordset1_id; ?>.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0_<?php echo $Recordset1_id; ?>.infowindowtext);

        }

You can just comment out the marker_0_ line like this:

if('address_0_<?php echo $Recordset1_id; ?>' == 'address_0_0')

            /*marker_0_<?php echo $Recordset1_id; ?>.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0_<?php echo $Recordset1_id; ?>.infowindowtext);*/

        }

If you have trouble with this post back with the file and I can show you want part to comment out.

As for the zoom level you can adjust that in the code, look for this setting:

map.setCenter(point, 13);

The 13 is the zoom level, the lower the number the larger the area you will see when the map loads.

wagmp_map_1.php as text file attached. I can not find the code you suggest commenting out.

In the page that you posted you will want to comment out line 323 so that it looks like this:

/*marker_1_<?php echo $sitelat_id; ?>.openInfoWindowHtml(address_1_<?php echo $sitelat_id; ?>.infowindowtext);*/

You will also want to comment out line 353 so that it looks like this:

/*marker_1_<?php echo $sitelat_id; ?>.openInfoWindowHtml(address_1_<?php echo $sitelat_id; ?>.infowindowtext);*/

The final entry that I found was on line 378, you should also comment it out so it looks like this:

/*marker_1_<?php echo $sitelat_id; ?>.openInfoWindowHtml(address_1_<?php echo $sitelat_id; ?>.infowindowtext);*/

It looks like you have correctly altered the zoom level from what I can see in the code. When I viewed the page I could see many entries, greater than 25 just from a quick count. Have you tested all of the locations independently to confirm that each of them can be mapped? You might be having a problem with a location that cannot be mapped throwing off the rest of the results.
