Introduction
GoogleMap is a robust Google Map Pixelpost addon that puts a great amount of control in your hands. And most importantly: It doesn’t matter if your images have embedded GPS data or not.
The GoogleMap addon is a Pixelpost addon that allows the owner to give GPS locations to their images regardless if they have GPS equipment or not. The addon was created with the casual photographer in mind, who may or may not know much about GPS or even what it stands for!
GoogleMap is based upon the jbgMap (short for Jon Bulava’s Google Map) written by Jon Bulava. Jon has done an excellent job of providing the basic structure. Since then I made several updates to his code and decided to rename the whole project to GoogleMap starting from version 2.
The administration side allows the owner to navigate a Google Map and manually place a marker where each picture was taken. The GPS data of this marker is stored in the Pixelpost database and processed without any sticky conversions or in-depth knowledge. Once a photo has a location, it’s ready to be shown on the main map that your viewers see.
You can see an example of the users point of view at my photoblog. (Note: the current version on display is the development version!)
Release notes:
THIS VERSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH JBGMAP. IT WILL HOWEVER UPDATE EVERYTHING TO REFLECT THE NEW STRUCTURE. YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR TEMPLATE TAGS AND YOU CAN’T GO BACK TO THE OLD ADDON!!!! READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING!!!
By downloading this addon you agree to the disclaimer.

Tom | February 27, 2008Hi Dennis,
Thanks for getting back to me about this. Turns out it was simply a minor glitch – a couple of images weren’t showing up with date information, but now they are – I had thought it was because I’d uploaded images which didn’t contain exif date information, but everything seems to be working fine now.
Thanks again for your wonderful script. And please do consider making the clustering addon public – it looks like it’s a fantastic addition to an already great bit of work.
Thanks,

Dennis | April 16, 2008Mattia, what version of MySQL do you have? If the table exists I can also piont out the line you need to comment out to make it work. (e.g. stop the creation of the table). However, I do find this odd as you are the first with this problem.

Nadja | April 25, 2008Hi,
I had the same problem as Mattia. After adding the addon and log in into the admin panel the message: “Table ‘pixelpost_GoogleMap’ already exists” appeared. Several times I droped the table but every time it happend the same error. Once I deleted the old jbp addon and the jbp table, it worked – so it seems there is maybe a problem with the upgrade?
Thanks for all your work!
Nadja
Aha, well this might be a problem. You have to
Dennis | April 25, 2008Aha, well this might be a problem. You have to remove the old JBGMap addon. Because if you don’t remove it the JBGMap addon recreates the JBGmap table again and the Googlemap addon thinks it needs to upgrade again.
This obviously doesn’t work because the upgrade process already created the table, hence the “Table ‘pixelpost_GoogleMap’ already exists†message appears.
This part of the step is not covered in the documentation. I’ll add that ASAP. Thanks for pointing this out Nadja.

ashu | August 12, 2008I have not downloaded the plugin yet, but it looks great. The only thing I can not understand is why there is only one entry into the map page. It seems that there is only a global map with clusters of different photo’s.
Is it also possible to get a zoomed in map with photo’s from 1 category or tag?
Is it also possible to click from 1 phone and see (zoomed in) on a map where that photo was taken? Maybe with the other near photo’s around it as well?
Ashu, have you read the manual? There are multiple entries
Dennis | August 13, 2008Ashu, have you read the manual? There are multiple entries into the map: one being an overview, the other being a zoomed in view of the location where the image was taken.
The latter would be the “click from one photo and see (zoomed in) on a map where that photo was taken”. It won’t display the other locations.
In this version it isn’t possible to see a photo per category or tags.

Hi there, First, thanks for this great script. Second - can
Tom | November 20, 2008Hi there,
First, thanks for this great script. Second – can you help me to get it to work with my blog’s template?
I must admit this is the first time I’ve tried to do anything clever with PHP in some time, so I hope you’ll forgive any obvious mistakes. I’m using the Supaclean template which as you can see uses Javascript and CSS to ‘slide’ comments/image details/the image into place, depending on the button pressed. Obviously this means all the data is loaded at into the page at once, which means I need to load the Google map for the image when the page is loaded, hide it in another layer, and show it when the ‘view on map’ link is clicked.
What I don’t understand – and I’m sure this is just because I’m not familiar enough with how Pixelpost addons work (and I have RTFM, honest!) – is how I get the tags for the Googlemap plugin to be replaced in that single page as well as the Pixelpost tags.
If you go here and click the ‘view on map’ link at the top, you’ll see that it slides the layer in – which is what I want (though obviously the layer is currently empty). All the Pixelpost tags are filled in correctly (exif, comments, details etc).
If you go here, you’ll see that the ‘view on map’ link works (sizing problems notwithstanding), but all the other Pixelpost tags (the comments, the details, the image, the exif) are not being replaced.
My question is where I make this change so that these tags are populated, and the page works as expected. I’m sure this isn’t a terribly difficult one, but any assistance would be very gratefully received.
My thanks again, and apologies for the lengthy post.
Tom

Very nice addon and very good job.
I am uplaoaded and make tests; without placing my pictures, everything with working. I was able to see the MAP.
Since I have “located” some picture. I have 2 errors (?).
See http://www.phocale.com/index.php?x=googlemap
- Code 0 line 22
- Code 0 line 107
I can not solve this issue and will appreciate your input.
Regards,
David
David, you'll be glad to know that you have installed
Dennis | January 24, 2009David, you’ll be glad to know that you have installed the googlemap addon correctly. The debug info tells me that everything is working. I’ve checked the source code and discovered the issue.
One of your pictures has as title: Glacier “La Meije”, Alps, France. The double quotes in the title are causing the problem. I can either fix this in the code of the addon, but a quick fix for now is using single quotes. If you prefer the fix in the addon, please let me know. I’ll have a look at it asap.
While I was at it I found one more issue with your HTML. You made a typo in the tag <SITE_TITLE>.
Thanks a lot. It is now working perfectly ;-)

Pelar | March 16, 2009Hey!
This addon is great! But the clustering is a bit of a struggle for me. How did you get the blue circles in the map? Or is that an additional addon?

Dennis | March 17, 2009Hi Pelar, the blue circles are part of a major update I did a few months back. These updates are not available for download.

Pelar | April 1, 2009Yeah I noticed that in an other post of yours. You ain’t gonna publish it, right? Even not if the users are willing to pay you?
Nope, basically money isn't the issue. I write a lot
Dennis | April 1, 2009Nope, basically money isn’t the issue. I write a lot of free stuff and publish it into the public domain for everyone to use. I would never charge money for applications I write. You know why? Even with free stuff people come looking for support. The comments on some addons are proof of that. Most of the time I like helping people, but sometimes I’m just busy with other stuff. Stuff that , or at least in my mind, is more important than supporting some addon I wrote. So in time I’ll answer or fix the problem, but don’t expect me to answer right away.
However, if you
forceask people to pay for your stuff, they expect more in return. That is human nature, they paid for it so they want support. Since I cannot give support 24/7 I have simply decided not to ask money for any of my addons.Needless to say I’ll never will too. So the stuff that is available freely can be used freely and I help people with it when needed. Stuff I feel is way to advanced (and would lead to many questions) I simply keep to myself. Hopefully this makes sense.

Pelar | April 1, 2009It’s clear to me. While you were placing this comment I send you an e-mail but you can delete it. It’s obvious in this way and if you change your mind, please let me be the first to know :)

Pelar | June 4, 2009Hey Dennis,
Took a while to find the problem as mentioned in this topic but it seems that onunload=”GUnload()” on the body is causing the problem for the styleswitcher.
Is it a problem if I remove that part? Is it necessary?

Dennis | June 11, 2009Hi Pelar, the javascript in the body actually loads the map. So yeah, it is necessary. Javascript isn’t my strong point but my guess is those two scripts interfere. You might look for alternative ways for loading the googlemap. The function GUnload() is a function from Google and unloads the map properly. You might want to search Google with the keywords “javascript problem gunload”. This might turn something up.

Pelar | June 11, 2009Thanks for your answer.
Got everything back to it’s original (when it worked) but I still get a white screen? Tried to get it through Firebug and still can’t see what the issue is. First thought it was a Google problem, but the other commenters still have it working on their website.

Pelar | June 11, 2009And I’m wondering if it is a little bug that slipped in while adding my latest photos (36 photos). But I don’t feel like deleting them and adding them again. Any other way to test it out?

Pelar | June 11, 2009And that was the problem, sorry for the third comment:
I headed into the MYSQL, pixelpost_pixelpost column. The last photos (in my case the Rome photos, about 36 photos) I removed the ‘googlemap’ information for those photos (Longitude & Latitude). And guess what, it’s working again!
So my last conclusion that somekinda little bug slipped in was the problem I guess? We’ll never know what thing caused the exact problem.
And the 4th (sorry): But it's also the clustering option that
Pelar | June 11, 2009And the 4th (sorry):
But it’s also the clustering option that causes problems. Tried several thing with the latest photos and the clustering option on and of and their both causing problems.
Last time, feeling bit stupid to be posting 5 comments
Pelar | June 11, 2009Last time, feeling bit stupid to be posting 5 comments in a row, but you can make it one if you want :)
I scanned the last 36 photos one by one what was causing the problem. I finally found out what one was causing the problems, it had this exact title: One of the founains at Via delle Quattro Fontane”
As you can see there was by mistake a ” at the end of the title. I removed it and looked up the coordinates and it didn’t give me any problems anymore! So I guess the problem was as well for the clustering as the blanco page.
Just a tiny stupid thingy that messed it up :)
Ow yeah, titles can be confusing some times for the
Dennis | June 12, 2009Ow yeah, titles can be confusing some times for the googlemap addon. As a programmers point of view I use strings which are encapsulated by single or double quotes (depending on my mood). If one of the string contains such a terminator, somewhere in the string, it will wreck havoc among the rest of the javascript code.
Although it can be easily fixed by both the addon and the Pixelpost core files (HTML entities come to mind), the current version online doesn’t have this fix. The unreleased V3.0 code on my site does, but that doesn’t help your problem a bit.
Not to worry about your five comments, when I do have the time I’ll merge them. Glad you got it fixed.
Hi, this is a great addon, thank you so much.
Pekka | July 23, 2009Hi, this is a great addon, thank you so much. I’ve been using this for years I think.
Found a little bug in info window opening code. Line 1191 in admin_GoogleMap.php misses the clean_pic_thumb parameter in createMarkerLatestPic function call. Which causes the info window output to be wrong, of course. (I’m getting ‘undefined’ in the output.)

Excellent add-on, thanks for the work. I found one slight bug
Brian | June 24, 2010Excellent add-on, thanks for the work.
I found one slight bug and would like to suggest a fix. I use geosetter to add gps info to the exif and then process in lightroom. As a result, the longitude and latitude are given as positive integers with a seperate key saying whether they are degrees north, south, east or west. This means anything west of the meridian or south of the equator will shop up wrongly when using the gps exif info. I’ve fixed this by modifying the addon php file with this code:
// try to get the GPS exif data
if (array_key_exists('LatitudeGPS', $exif_info)) {
if (array_key_exists('Longitude ReferenceGPS', $exif_info)){
if ($exif_info['Latitude ReferenceGPS']=='S') {
$latitudeGPS = '-' . $exif_info['LatitudeGPS'];
} else {
$latitudeGPS = $exif_info['LatitudeGPS'];
}
if ($exif_info['Longitude ReferenceGPS']=='W') {
$longitudeGPS = '-' . $exif_info['LongitudeGPS'];
} else {
$longitudeGPS = $exif_info['LongitudeGPS'];
}
}
else {
$latitudeGPS = $exif_info['LatitudeGPS'];
$longitudeGPS = $exif_info['LongitudeGPS'];
}
} else {
$latitudeGPS = NULL;
$longitudeGPS = NULL;
}
I hope you don’t mind! Thanks again.
