Will there be a random map block like for Maps management? I had a lot of hits cause of that. Or should i just rewrie it to access via the new database tables?

Yes sir, I will write a new to show a random map like the old maps management block. I should have the block done by later tonight. Anything else you would like to see in this block?

thanks,
gotcha

Thanks m8. NAw, I like it the way it was. Like I said, I get a lot of map downloads through that. Exposes them very well.

Sounds like a cool feature! I never saw the other one, but perhaps in the random block, perhaps it pulls the Category its under and lists it as well? I have varying game maps listed and if was to pull one, then it would list the "category" or in my case "game" it is for?

Good Call. I forgot all about that. I was putting the game and map specs in the description.

Although the Map Block is a keen idea, I had problems with it. The Maps I use have lots of text, but the prior Map Block would always display the entire text...expanding the block across my screen. What I would like to see are options to disable or enable certain fields of view. Options are as follows:

1. Default Random Map: Displays Map with details according to Map View. Function disabled via "//" at the front of the statement.

2. Random Map: With customized text called from a text file in which is matched with the map title. Function disabled via "//" at the front of the statement.

3. Index: Instead of Images and Short Descriptions of the map, option to have the entire Map Listings in either Tree Format or Have the Display set to random Category Listing. Function disabled via "//" at the front of the statement.

4. Database Details: A list of Total File Size, Total Maps, Total Categories, Total Downloads, and New Map Details...Function disabled via "//" at the front of the statement.

Just my thoughts,
Ghost

I have installed MapManager1.0-7.6 which seems to work fine, but when I upload the random map block and activate it my entire site vanishes, it takes 10 mins to load and when the status bar gets to the end it comes up with page cannot be displayed. as soon as I delete the block my site loads in 0.4 seconds, upload block again and it hangs for 10 mins then page cannot be displayed, any ideas what is causing that??

Btw love the system

You probaly don't have the chatserv 2.9 patch applied to your nuke. In that case you need to open the block-Random_Map.php and change a couple lines.

Find....

Code:

//delete or comment // these 4 lines of code if you are not using chatserv 2.9 patch
if ( !defined('NUKE_FILE') ) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

//uncomment // these 4 lines of code if you are not using chatserv 2.9 patch
//if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "block-Random_Map.php")) {
// Header("Location: ../index.php");
// die();
//}

Change to....

Code:

//delete or comment // these 4 lines of code if you are not using chatserv 2.9 patch
//if ( !defined('NUKE_FILE') ) {
// Header("Location: ../index.php");
// die();
//}

//uncomment // these 4 lines of code if you are not using chatserv 2.9 patch
if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "block-Random_Map.php")) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

that should fix you right up.

Cheers m8 that worked fine I have never come across a site like this before where the creator actually has time to help others out. If it is ok with you Gotcha I would like to give your site some credit by adding a link to your site on mine, if so do you have a small button or banner I can use?
