google maps plugin

[Connie]

I started to test it.

1)
First I checked the language files. (Will do the german one)

unfortunately the two language files are encoded in ANSI, please do convert them to UTF-8 without BOM!

2)
there is a typo in en_US.php:

Code:

"ADD_NEW_ANCHOR_TX"        => "The map can contanin \"markers\" in various directions.<br/>Here you can configure.",

should be "contain" ;=)

3)
there is a good source for marker-images: http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/ (I added that info to the german language file)

4)
I can't get it to work. Please tell us what is the exact correct syntax for the include:

Code:

(% googlemap: myMap %)
(% googlemap: myMap%)
(% googlemap:myMap %)
(% googlemap:myMap%)
(% googlemap:#myMap %)
(% googlemap: #myMap %)
(% googlemap: #myMap%)

where is the map-file stored?

5)
after switching from the plugin configuration to files (to upload a marker), an error message comes up in the plugin tab:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined methoFatal error: Call to undefined method SimpleXMLExtended::count() in /var/www/web10/html/getsimpletest/plugins/googlemap.php on line 274

6)
I cannot decide where to place the label for the maps-plugin, in "pages" or "plugins"

as there are different multi-user-permissions active, on one side, users want to create maps easily but have no rights to work with plugins. So if you place it at the pages tab, they can delete and/or modify other maps, that is dangerous

if you place it in the plugin-tab, only "advanced users" can generate maps

maybe an option in the configuration?
