    Well you are in luck. I just finished up a module that does just that and could use someone else to test it out. I've just sent you an email with a zip for you.

    'flash_news',
    'locations',
    );

    i have gone through cd as well now but still no access no location module in admin ):
  • edited 5:22PM
    and now i have put this as well in my_fuel_module...$config['modules']['locations'] = array(); and it gives error

    Unable to locate the file: location_model.php

  • edited 5:22PM
    yes now its configured but on admin after saving any record its giving error
    Exception: Class property locations does not exist in ..............www\new\fuel\modules\fuel\libraries\Fuel.php but i have put Fuel_locations in libraries where its giving the error and no map on front end and no listing etc
  • edited 5:22PM
    still no success

    So to be clear, you put the folder in "fuel/modules/" so there is now a "fuel/modules/locations" folder.

    And it sounds like you add the "locations" module to the $config['modules_allowed'] and installed the database tables.

    You should remove the lines from your my_fuel_module files that you added because those are automatically handled in the fuel/modules/locations/config/locations_fuel_modules.php file.

    Those steps should be all you need to get that module to work. Does it still not work after you remove those lines in your my_fuel_modules file? And if so what URI are you seeing the error and what is the error?

    If i remove that line from my_fuel_module ....the locations module is not showing in the admin.....and if i dont remove it ,it appears there in the admin and the error after saving it that i have mentioned earlier....Exception: Class property locations does not exist in ..............www\new\fuel\modules\fuel\libraries\Fuel.php

  • edited 5:22PM
    The map being rendered should be at http://localhost/locations/map. You can pull this in via iframe. For the listings you can go to http://localhost/locations/listings
  • edited 5:22PM
    its still shows empty...but i have run it in different way...and i am successful in map.php , i have done all this...

    <?php fuel_set_var('page_title', 'Map: My Website'); ?>

    My Website

    A long, long, time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...



    Markers will show on the bottom 2 zoom levels even though the markers would normally cluster.
    #map { height: 400px; }

    <?php
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT city,latitude,longitude FROM locations");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

    $data[] = array(
    $row['latitude'],
    $row['longitude'],
    $row['city']
    );
    }


    // print_r($data);
    //$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

    // echo "$num_rows Rows\n";

    ?>



    //onload(initmap(););

    //alert('testing');
    var tiles = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    maxZoom: 18,
    attribution: '© OpenStreetMap contributors, Points &copy 2012 LINZ'
    }),
    latlng = L.latLng(33.6667, 73.1667);

    var map = L.map('map', {center: latlng, zoom: 4, layers: [tiles]});

    var test = <?php echo json_encode($data); ?>;






    //alert(test);
    //alert(addressPoints);

    var markers = L.markerClusterGroup({ disableClusteringAtZoom: 17 });

    for (var i = 0; i < test.length; i++) {
    var a = test[i];
    var title = a[2];
    var marker = L.marker(L.latLng(a[0], a[1]), {

    title: title });
    marker.bindPopup(title);
    markers.addLayer(marker);
    }

    map.addLayer(markers);



    and i am successful


    now i want to add something more in the admin form
    1-want to remove state from form

    i am unable to find the form...where is state field want to remove it and also want to add location name city etc in which when i type the name of any location like Portland it populates the Lat and longt fields automatically...using api...i am waiting for your kind reply
  • edited 5:22PM
    let me more clear i want to user your form as a base for locations but i have no good idea about form as its my first project in fuel and codeignitor so thats why i am stucked....
  • edited 5:22PM
    The form in the CMS is created as a simple module I'd recommend reading these to areas of the documentation in particular to become more familiar with them:
    http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple
    http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/tutorial

    Basically, it looks at the table's fields and automatically creates the form. There is an associated model found at fuel/modules/locations/models/locations_model.php which has a "form_fields" method. This returns an array of Form_builder parameters:
    http://docs.getfuelcms.com/libraries/form_builder

    Form_builder is used to generate the forms in the admin. To remove certain fields, you can either remove the columns in the locations database table or do something like the following in the forms_fields method which will remove them from the form:
    ... unset($fields['city']); return $fields; ...

    Thats nice i got it and how to add lat and longt dynamically for a location
  • edited 5:22PM
    as well i have added categories when adding locations but it not showing in dropdown while in categories section there are categores which i have added but not in dropdown for locations form
  • edited 5:22PM
    i have find this code in your model that is in locations_model have following function which is used for geo location
    function on_before_save($values)
    {
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $CI->load->helper('google');

    if (!empty($values['address']))
    {
    $address = self::full_address($values);

    $geo = google_geolocate($values, 'location');

    if (!empty($geo['latitude']) AND empty($values['latitude']))
    {
    $values['latitude'] = $geo['latitude'];
    }
    if (!empty($geo['latitude']) AND empty($values['longitude']))
    {
    $values['longitude'] = $geo['longitude'];
    }
    }
    return $values;
    }

    but its not populating lat and longt ....any help plz???

    @david: Would you mind to share me the google helper too? as currently i am trying to build a google map library for yii2 which i think i can learn some from your code although i already building my own structures. However, it is ok if it is not open source

    @gui123, from what i see, this function is actually populating datas before saving to database by getting geolocation using $geo = google_geolocate($values, 'location');

    Maybe you can do a print_r($geo); and print_r($values); exit; before return $values to see which part causing the missing lat and long.
  • edited 5:22PM
    @onegun: Yes i think its getting lat and longt before saving data...guess
  • edited 5:22PM
    @onegun yes i checked if i print the $values...
    [latitude] => [longitude] => [published] => yes ) .It means the lat and longt fields have nothing if i dont enter values ...and when i enter values it shows that lat and longt...That means i was wrong its not doing geo coding...
  • edited September 2014
    if you put your print_r($values) just before return $values; and get [latitude] => [longitude] => [published] => yes

    it means the the $geo = google_geolocate($values, 'location'); is not working ( whch actually will return you the latitude and longtitude )

    Maybe you can double check with print_r($geo);exit;

    i suspect there will be another $values['location'] or $values['address'] need to have values. check if there are such keys in the $values array and any values associate with them, google_geolocate($values, 'location') will most probably fail too if none of them exist.
  • edited 5:22PM
    yes your are right and i am stuck to do that
  • edited 5:22PM
    There is an update in the develop branch that should fix the google_geolocate function. The URL use to work when set as https but now does not. So it should now be:
    http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".$address."&sensor=false

    category dropdown is as well not working in create location map
  • edited 5:22PM
    Do you have any categories setup? The categories and tags module are by default hidden. To display them, go to the fuel/application/config/MY_fuel_modules.php file and comment out the line referring to hiding the categories module. Then hit refresh in the CMS and you should see it in the left menu.
