I have installed MapManager1.0-7.6 on my PHP-NUKE7.6 site. I see no place in my admin control panel to administer it. I did use the install.php script to install it. All was successfull. I see the link called maps now on my menu. I don't however know how to administer it. I am fairly new to PHP-nuke so please bear with me. This is just what I need. Oh and one other thing, is there a way to make pk3 an allowable extension. That way the users can dload the maps in their raw form and not have to unzip them before using?

Thank you,

For the map image, check to make sure you uploaded the file maps.gif in the images/admin directory.

you can make pk3 extension allowed through the map managers config in the admin panel.

You can see how to use map manager HERE

Hope this helps.

I checked and the maps.gif is uploaded correctly. Where is the map managers control panel suppose to be? I don't see it on the main admin panel. Is it somewhere else. I can click on the map link and try to upload a map, but nothing happens. I mean it seems to be working but No map shows up when it's done. I set the chmod to the settings the instructions aay to. This is just the addition I need to my website, if I can only get to the admin part.
Thanks for your time.

the config is right under the title Maps Administration and is named Map Manager Configuration and links to yoursite.com/admin.php?op=mapconfig.

Also, if you are submitting maps through the module(not admin panel) you have to approve the map through the Maps admin.

Now for some reason everytime I try to goto my site I get this error : Redirection limit for this URL exceeded
Any idea what could be causing this? I cannot even get to my website. Sad

I can't win

Thanks for all you help, I really appreciate it.

Ok, I removed the random map module and the website is back up! Whew....I was worried. I still don't have my Icon. Should I try to reinstall using the install.php, or will that cause database problems?

Thanks in advance!!

I don't know why your admin icon is not showing up. Try uploading the files again and just overwrite the old ones.

I uploaded all the files again, overwriting the originals. Still no icon in my admin control panel. But I can use it by using the link you gave me. Any idea how I can add my own link to the control panel. I am using PHP-Nuke 7.6.
Thanks again.

you could easily make a link in your administration block using the blocks administration by clicking on edit. just follow the format of whats already there and you'll see.

Sorry i can't be of more help.
Copy and paste your modlues/Maps/admin/links.php file because thats the file that pulls the image. See if we can't find the problem.

the file looks fine to me, the only way i could find the problem would be to dig around in the files.

did you apply the nuke patch 2.9 to your nuke?

Joined: Apr 24, 2005 Posts: 8

No I didn't. I read someplace that it could cause problems with blocks and mods and i was worried about applying it and losing data. Do you suggest applying it and what is the correct file for 7.6? Could you put a link for it here please.

Thank you,
Dusty

I would definately suggest applying it, even though it may not be a solution to your problem. I just asked to make sure the patch wasnt causing any conflicts because as you mentioned, it breaks some blocks/modules. You can find the patches for all versions at http://nukeresources.com.

Also when you upload .php(also.. .txt, .html, .htaccess, .tpl, ect.) files using an ftp client (like cuteFTP, WsFTP, ect.) you should always use ASCII mode. And images, zip files, ect. should be uploaded in binary mode. Your ftp client might upload everything in binary mode unless the file extension is in a list. Thats the list you need to find and add the extensions.

Other than that, I'm afraid i have no other solution at the moment. sorry Sad

Just installed this to nuke 7.7, same problems. also i installed every version after deleting all tables, and everything else. followed the steps in the readme in exact order......

The blocks cause my website to not work at all. redirects to public_html/index.php(error 404) rather than public_html/PHP-Nuke/index.php as is properly set in the database and has worked properly even after i updated from 7.5 to 7.7. delete the blocks and the website works properly.

I can access the module by typing in the url dirctly but it refuses to show in the modules section of admin nor in non-active modules. and as far as administrating it.....hmmm yeah right cant access that at all.

also there is no \modules\Maps\images\maps\thumb in the 2.0 version. i had to create it myself then chmod it. is there something else missing?

This is all i get: http://wtf-squad.com/PHP-Nuke/modules.php?name=Maps with verion 2.0, lesser doesnt even give that much.

Im going to atempt to upload a map..........if its there well that atleast works. after that try to dl it.
