Flag not showing

Flag not showing

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and the current version of Pro Maps for Google on a page that includes a form to return directions. I am having a problem with the flag/marker not showing up on the map in the browser window(ie, safari, firefox) The map shows up fine--- I already did:

var fromAddress = {
enabled: false,

and the directions show up when I submit the form.

The image comes from an absolute link on the newly designed webassist site and I am wondering if the link is no longer correct, see below:

icon_0.image = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/deepjungle.png';
icon_0.shadow = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/shadow.png';

If I mouse over where the flag should be I do get the pointer icon and I can click to open the address bubble.

Anybody got any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

It appears we didn't properly move the images over when launching the new site.

We will have this corrected later today.

Another option is that you could search for those images on your local computer and put them in a location on your site so you can refer to them locally.

We will also be releasing a dot release soon that will create a copy of those images locally for you automatically to prevent this problem from ever occurring in the future.

We have resolved this issue. It should be working now. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Yep all is well thank you very much! I love your new site and definitely prefer the vBulletin forum over your old forum, AND you've organized it in a way that will make it soooo much easier to find answers--- well once there are some answers. It is too bad that you are unable to bring all old threads along for the ride, but your new site does look GREAT and in the long run the new, vastly improved forum will prove worth the inconvenience:-)

Cheers!

My Map Is Suddenly Missing Images as Well

Hello,

I am not sure how you resolved your missing map icons. I have 2 different maps both pull data from a database to show multiple locations. Last night it was working perfectly and this morning *poof* no flag icons. If I click on a building that I know has a "hot spot" the bubble appears so my data is there, just no icon to show where to click.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be greatly associated.

Thanks,
Paul

What is the URL for the page that isn't working? I will look into it.

URL to Page

I have it on my local machine using the generic API key as the remote site doesn't have the domain name pointed to it yet.

Any thoughts on what I should check?

I have the maps on two different pages:
1) Map 1 grabs all of the addresses from a database and displays multiple locations
2) Map 2 uses a filtered recordset to show only one location based off of that business primary key.

My google_javascript directory has the following files:
- wagmp_map_1.cfm
- wagmp_map_2.cfm
- wagmp_maps.js

I can provide more information or code snippets or email the files, I am not sure what is the best approach at this point.

I am open for any suggestions

Thanks for the quick reply
Paul

I would look at the code to see what flag location is referenced and then see if that flag location is valid, if not, let us know what images are missing on the new server and we can put them back up.

You would look in your map files you noted for the image references.

Image Locations

Hello,

I looked through the one map file and I found this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

var icon_0 = new GIcon();
icon_0.image = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/moab.png';
icon_0.shadow = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/shadow.png';
icon_0.iconSize = new GSize(31,35);
icon_0.shadowSize = new GSize(31,35);
icon_0.iconAnchor = new GPoint(4,27);
icon_0.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(8,3);
icon_0.printImage = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/moab.gif';
icon_0.mozPrintImage = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/moab_mozprint.png';
icon_0.printShadow = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/shadow.gif';
icon_0.transparent = 'http://google.webassist.com/google/markers/flag/moab_transparent.png';

-----------------------------------------------------------------

When I try and view the image paths in the browser I receive a connection interrupted error.

I didn't realize that this app called remotely for the images. No wonder I couldn't find them

Hey guys,

My flag icon and shadow are gone again too. Can you double check the mapping to the files again?

thanks ~Jules
