Hotspots by Waindigo [Deleted]

I customized the Templates waindigo_hotspot_list_hotspots, waindigo_hotspot_list_item_hotspots and waindigo_hotspot_view_hotspots a little bit. For example i put the website in the hotspot table.

But i have a little problem with that. When i put these in the template:
HTML: 
<a href="{$hotspot.website}" target="_blank">{$hotspot.website}</a>
And someone wrote the website without "http://" i'll get in the frontend "www.myforum.com/www.thehotspotwebsite.com"
But when they write with "http://" i'll get "www.thehotspotwebsite.com"

I thought i get the problem when i wrote in the template these:
HTML: 
<a href="http://{$hotspot.website}" target="_blank">{$hotspot.website}</a>
The adresses without "http://" are in function, but with the "http://" they look like "http//www.thehotspotwebsite.com" .. without the colon.

I hope you can understand my bad english .. :oops:

This is a bug that I have already fixed for the next version.
 
Waindigo updated Hotspots by Waindigo with a new update entry:

Version 1.0.3 released

New features:
  • Added ability to create multiple maps as nodes, including the ability to include some HTML as a header for each map.
  • Added address field and ability to automatically translate addresses into map coordinates and vice-versa.
  • Added ability to automatically center the map based on the user's current location using geolocation (if supported by the user's browser).
  • Added extra permissions to allow users to only view/edit/delete their own hotspots, plus...

Thanks for adding that :)

Just wondering, is there a way to make the map smaller? It is over 800px high and much too big for the layout. I would be looking for around 400 - 500 high. I can't seem to find the setting in the css.

Thanks.
 
Installed.

When a hotspot is added to a map, this error pops up on submission.

"Requested map could not be found."

No users can add to the map (even admin). Any idea what would cause this?

Thanks.
 
Thanks Jon.
On our different maps, we need different categories. So on the Food Eating Challenge map, we would like to have categories for different types of challenge. These categories are shown but are not appropriate on our map of custom installers where we need a different set of categories.
I would like to see the marker categories associated with specific maps so they can only be seen and used on those maps.
Also is it difficult to have street view saved as the individual hotspot map?
And can different maps have different default location and zoom levels set rather than the one in the admin settings?

Is anyone interested in contributing towards this small change?

Hello,

Bugs - xF 1.2

When a user selects "Show Location" all of the markers vanish.
Pagination defaults to /hotspots/ and breaks if you are using a different map.
Can not add anything on the default /hotspots/ map.
Can not delete map node from admin panel once created.

Thanks.

I'll contribute to this. I just need Jon to code up 2 small addons before (they are urgent). If he gets them done I will send money to get this done.

Excellent, thanks. I also had the idea of being able to import .kml files into a hotspots map. Are you interested in that?
Click to expand...

No idea what that is. I am using the maps for very simple reasons, but it seems a fair bit of what we need overlaps. I am happy to help out with anything that does.
 
kml stands for Keyhole Markup Language and .kml files are a very similar format to .xml files.
Basically you can use .kml files to share map data between applications like Google Maps and Google Earth.
So we have a couple of Google maps with several locations pinned on them at the moment.
We could manually put those into this Hotspots addon, which would take a while, or we could export the kml files out of Google Maps (already done) and import them into a Hotspots map in a flash.
It means that anyone wanting to import a whole bunch of locations already set up in Google Maps could transfer the lot to this addon in no time.

Is there any reason why we can't zoom in and out with the scroll wheel on the main Hotspots Map?

The reasoning is that the map is too big, so it often fills up more than the browser window, so it would stop the user from being able to scroll the page.

Not experienced that myself. Particularly since XF1.2 has a responsive design, I don't think it will be an issue.
Our particular design will be max-width: 960px. Personally I think it's more useful to be able to mouse-wheel zoom when the cursor is over the map.

I'll add an option for this.
