jogrjohn Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi, I have been a user of TNG since version 7, but my first time as a member of the forum, I am now using TNG 14 having upgrading through each version. Somewhere along the path whilst using OSM I have lost the pins showing on right pane of the event map this being replaced by links to Google earth. I have reinstalled OSM to latest version, all to no avail. could anyone point me in the right direction to reestablish the pin icons. Thank You John M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Severijns Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 John, Don't use OSM myself but are you sure all locations are still geocoded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katryne Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi ! OSM mod requires first that : you must start your map key with "OSM" to get TNG to use OSM. Maybe you forgot about it. Check this in Setup >> Configuration >> Map Settings Maybe you could try too the mod Hide Google earth links : https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Hide_google_earth_links And this other mod too in order to make easier geolocation : OSM automatic geocoding : https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=OSM_Automatic_Geocoding&redirect=no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogrjohn Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Rob, Thank you for suggestion but all locations are geocode. Katryne Thanks also for your suggestions, However, both OSM key was in place, as was OSM Automatic geocoding. I did try To hide Google Earth Links but this only removed the icon to the right of the event description but the google link on left (url of G... E... coordinates) of event description remains Regards John M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 @jogrjohn John, without a link to your site it is impossible to diagnose what might be causing your problem. One can only take guesses as to what might be wrong. The OpenStreetMap mod was created to replace part of the Google Maps code. Both depend heavily on javascript and jQuery functions. Make sure that you copied all the js folder for the TNG 14 upgrade to your site. Note that browsers are also getting smarter or more difficult to deal with in replacing cached versions of code. You now need to make sure that you only have one tab opened to a given site before the Forced Reload will work. If you have a mixture of old and new code, results are unpredictable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogrjohn Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Ken Your input is very much appreciated. Following a suggestion by Katryne, I uploaded the mod " Hide Google Earth links" which in turn led me to getperson.php where at about line 700 in my case, there is "Hide Google Earth Links Mod - #2 - MichelKirsch" which works to exclude the google pins to the right of the description pane on the place map. Within MichelKirsch code is the line :- $persontext .= "<a href=\"placesearch.php?psearch=" .urlencode($place) ."\" target= \"_blank\"><img src=\"{$cms['tngpath']}google_marker.php?image=$pinplacelevel.png&text=$thismarker\" alt=\"{$text['googlemaplink']}\" title=\" If I replace it with $persontext .= "<a href=\"placesearch.php?psearch=" .urlencode($place) ."\" target= \"_blank\"><img src=\"{$cms['tngpath']}../img/023.png" alt=\"{$text['googlemaplink']}\" title=\" I can at least force an Icon, I know this is not realistic, just where I am at the moment. I will in the interim follow your suggestions and see where that leads. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKiwi Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 This would be much easier to help diagnose if you could post a link to a page on your site that shows this problem. If it needs a log in you should post the details to log in to at least a Guest account. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhemph Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in customconfig.php:4 Stack trace: #0 config.php(221): include() #1 begin.php(12): include('/home/u84258032...') #2 google_marker.php(2): include('/home/u84258032...') #3 {main} thrown in customconfig.php on line 4 https://www.gen46.com/google_marker.php?image=038.png&text=1 So there is something wrong in whatever mod created line 4 in your customconfig.php. This fatal error then stops the generation of the google pin with the number affixed. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogrjohn Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 bhemph Thanks for your input, I have removed line 4 from customconfig, it was inserted by me a while ago (not important} However the issue still remains, any other hints, however are welcomed and appreciated.

You might want to go to Admin >>> Setup >>> Language and see what is checked. Are you runnIng UTF-8.??? Also what Map are you running, to get location pins at the bottom.?? Or is that from a Mod.

jogrjohn Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Drew, thank you for your input, you nailed it with the language setting, done the change and it now shows minus sign. As for map it is from Openstreetmap, I assume that is the default map. Your assistance is appreciated. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see pic). Then go to Admin >>> Mod Manager >>> click on openstreetmap and go to options. (see pic). Make sure OSM is in the Map box. That should cure the issue.

Looking at your Map again, you are missing a Google Link. Have you altered any php file, which has removed a Google Earth reference.?? If the edit of the php file was done as mentioned, might be why you cant see any pins. Silly question....When did you first notice that the pins were missing from a Map. Was it after installing a Mod. After deleting a Mod. Or something else. Are you able to access your CP and initiate a backup, from an earlier date.

jogrjohn Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 This was due to an earlier suggestion, to install the Mod "Hide google links" which once installed removed the google earth icon that showed on right row of the event description pane. I have removed the mod and the earth icons are now present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jogrjohn Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 only the google earth icons on extreme right, no OSM pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogrjohn Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Drew re your earlier Question re ," when did i notice missing pins" That I cannot say... I took a longish break with TNG and then only noticed the other day...I have gone back on the previous versions and pins were missing.
