Geo Mint

Hi there, will you be updating this pepper to work with Mint v1.22?

I tried to download your plugin but it seems like the file is not on the server

Hi,

I’m loving the Geo Mint, believe me. I’m running Mint 1.23, Geo Mint 0.2, XXX Strong Mint 2.21.

I’m just not getting any pinpoint data to pull in. Map shows up fine, but states zeroes for all three values (points, queries, local queries) on the bottom. I’m probably missing something obvious….help!

First, thank you for sharing with us ;)

I would just like to know, is the Geo Mint gathers data after it is installed or use the existing one? I aske because all I see is empty world map hehehe

Hi, me too. No data coming up even with a page hit…

I also am getting nada, nil, zip. Just a nice pretty empty map. Using Mint 1.23, XXX Strong Mint 2.21, Session tracker and Download Counter

same here a beautiful blank map.

i’m using a virtual dedicated server from godaddy. i’ll see if that protocol is turned on.

Nope. I use Pete99.com

works like a charm. congratulations :)

Works now — great!

Thank you for the excellent Pepper, works great :)

I’ve done some updating and editing of Geo Mint :)

I’ve added preferences for the height and width of the map and also for the starting coords and zoom level.

I’ve also added support for the table prefix if specified in the config file and updated all the necessary calls. To make it a bit cleaner, I’ve called the last part of the table created geomint rather than geo_mint. Also removed is the unsigned option for the ip field.

Finally, I’ve changed the Data view so that it groups common ips together and lists the last time it visited.

If you want me to send the class.php file to look over then just give me an email.

Thanks for a great plugin.

About the script execution time: One can set it to a value a bit higher using the settimelimit() function. http://be.php.net/settimelimit/ for more info.

B!

Great pepper and thanks again for including my request!

Thank you, this pepper is starting to rock! Its kinda blowing my mind actually, zooming in using satellite view to see individual buildings, cars etc. Mental.

Thanks for the this pepper, I am new to Mint and really appreciate yours and other peoples contributions! Long live collaboration and sharing.

Power to the People!

This is great - thanks for all your hard work!

What a great plugin!

I love the concept and the design of this pepper!

Hey, I upgraded from .23 to .30 and can’t get my map to show. Hit me up on ICQ when you get a chance. Thanks Christoph.

I too would love seeing such state breakdowns as countries. Is this possible? thanks.

I’m running GeoMint (lots of fun, thanks!) with 100 points without problems. I’m afraid of trying more. Is there some sort of upper limit one shouldn’t break on a more than solid but otherwise standard hosting account?

Cool. Thanks. I’ll do the full Monty then. If you hear loud noises from Germany, it was my PC blowing up. :)

Yeah, I know, I’m annoying. ;) Is it actually possible to “externalize” the map with the same IP info, meaning, can I create an HTML page with a large map showing the same info that I could tie into my site instead of just having it visible in Mint?

That would be cool.

BTW: I’m at 150 points and the fuse on my PC hasn’t even been lit. ;)

Thanks for the lightening-quick answer!

First, thanks for sharing.

Quick question… As I understand it, geomint gathers its data from hostip.info and stores the information for each IP. then, if that IP visits again, it doesn’t have to retrieve it from hostip it gets it from the cache. Well, hostip is constantly updating (and can be manually updated by the public). So, does geomint ever see the updated info on any given IP or does it just keep using the wrong or incomplete data from the cache? and can you clear the cache and make geomint refresh its data?

thanks

when I switch from the data view to map view, the map is not visible, in order for it to return, i have to refresh my browser. Is this normal?

im completely missing it… how do i enable curl instead of fopen?

I just updated to .31 and now the map wont show, saying there’s no data for that zoom level. My zoom value is set to 15. How can I fix this?

OK, so I just reinstalled the whole thing and now it seems to work. Is there a way of forcing it into finding the info for old hits?

I just installed the plugin and configured the plugin and mint now gives me this error at the top:

MySQL Error (from Geo Mint): You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘>Warning: mysqlpconnect() [function.mysq' at line 2. (1064) Query: INSERT INTO mintgeo (ip, country, countryabrv, city, latitude, longitude) VALUES ('-1908691667', '', '', '', >Warning: mysqlpconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111) in /home/hostip/publichtml/lib/svnphp/dbase.php on line 12 Cannot connect to the, Warning: mysqlpconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111) in /home/hostip/publichtml/lib/svn_php/dbase.php on line 12 Cannot connect to the database)

Any idea whats wrong?

Marcus (53),

I have the same error, which seems to be related to updating Mint to version 1.29. It’s the only other change I’ve made; Geo Mint 0.31 was working for me with Mint 1.28.

Actually, I’m wondering if it has something to do with the http://www.hostip.info/ website seeing as it’s coming up with a similar database error when I try to view the site: Warning: mysqlpconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111) in /home/hostip/publichtml/lib/svn_php/dbase.php on line 12 Cannot connect to the database

I’m thinking the plugin will work as soon as the hostip site is fixed. It’s too bad there isn’t another geolocating site it could fall back on or at least suppress these errors from the mint page if this does happen. I’d rather see a “geomint not available” graphic than a long string of mysql errors! I hope this isn’t going to be an ongoing issue!

Bruce, I got the same error using Mint 1.28. Mint 1.29 coincidentally came out around the same time - so it’s not Mint related.

Oh and by the way: Looks like it’s working again! Hooray!

Thanks Benedikt; I also have it working again with Mint 1.29. So you’re right, the Mint upgrade was coincidence.

Thanks for the kickin mint!

Good stuff man! Keep it up!

Great pepper. However, when accessing Mint via IE/win with Geo Mint installed and enabled, I get an error saying the operation aborted. After clicking OK, it goes to page not found.

I disabled all other peppers and added them back one by one. And Geo Mint is causing the problem. Works fine in other browsers. But my client uses IE/win.

Any thoughts?

this isnt compatable with australia

Ok folks, I’ve come up with a workaround fix/hack to get GeoMint to work in IE. There may be a better way, but with my limited JS skills, this works for now! Here’s what you do:

Open up the Geomint class.php and around line 417 after

$html_geo = "
       //some comment

Replace the following:

    <script type=\"text/javascript\">
    //<![CDATA[

with:

   <!--[if IE]>
   map{ width: {$prefs['plotWidth']}; height: {$prefs['plotHeight']}
   </style>


  <div id=\"map\"></div>
  <script type=\"text/javascript\">
  //<![CDATA[



  function showMap()
    {
    if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
  

Now go down to around Line 533 after:

    mysql_free_result($result_geo);

Replace the following:

$html_geo .= '//]]>\n';

with:

$html_geo .= '

        }

// display a warning if the browser was not compatible
else {
  alert("Sorry, the Google Maps API is not compatible with this browser");
}

}


//]]>\n';

Alright now the hacking part :( - In your mint installation open mint\app\paths\display\display.php

and replace

<body class="display">

with:

<body class="display" onLoad="showMap();" onUnload="GUnload()">

That should do it! Worked for me anyway. Please feel free to improve this!

Ok, since the comment system totally mucked up my code, you can view it in a readable format at http://www.writely.com/View.aspx?docid=afwh9xn26z7f_0fkc4m5

[Some code, Wordpress swallowed].

This is because changing the onload seems to break the even handler, stopping the sections being resized - adding a call to SI.Mint.sizePanes(); helps rectify that by resizing onload once again :)

There’s other ways to achieve it better, but most people will find that the easiest.

Hope this works this time.

Thanks for the great pepper :)

OK, I give up.

Streaky, I did notice that my fix was breaking the event handler, but I haven’t yet got around to trying to fix that. I’d love to see your fix ideas, can you email it to me? (marcusv [ a t ] gmail.com)

I don’t seem to have a map ;-)

Everything else appears to be working OK though.. Have I missed something? I’m using the latest Pepper & version of Mint…

I just bought this plugin and I have read here and tried everything, but I cannot get the map to display. All i get is the info about the queries, working with 10 points, and the hostip.info panel. All the other ftuff works fine, but no map.

No I have not altered any of the php page. I thought that only needed be done if useing IE and I don’t use IE. What changes do I need to make for this to work. Sorry, if they have already been mentioned here.

Me neither, I just downloaded & installed..

I don’t have a display.php - there was only a class.php in your zip file…

OK, sorry - edited the file within Mint - it now works OK.. God job, love the Pepper..

thanks works now, just need to find my center point.

Hello,

I am not entirely familiar with the Pepper process, but I downloaded the file and it only contained a class.php file and a readme file. The readme file said to upload a directory called “clupprich”. Where do I find that directory? I have uploaded other peppers but their zip files included the referenced directory.

Thanks,

Kate

Kate: You might have to create the directory yourself. Every FTP-client would support this.

Just look for a button with the text “create/make directory”. If you can’t find it, search the help file or specify which client you are using and ask here.

Johan.

Mint 1.29

GeoMint 0.32

Firefox 1.5.0.5 IE 6.0

The map works great on first load, but when I click from ‘Map’ to ‘Last Visitors’ or Country Data’, then back to ‘Map’, the Map doesn’t display. No errors or anything, just no map at all. I did note that the ‘# queries from Hostip.info’ line will read 0 queries when the map doesn’t show. When I reload the whole page, it loads just fine again. The behavior is the same in both browser versions listed above.

Any thoughts?

Can you explain why Geo Mint does not render all hits to the site? I have a client who doesn’t understand why all the unique hits are not represented on the map, and I have no answer.

Great pepper by the way.

First of all - awesome Pepper, keep up the great work!

I’m having the same issue as Sam (Post #83).

Thanks for all of your work on this Pepper, i sincerely appreciate it.

Great Pepper ! thanks

How do I dial in the Starting Lat, Starting Lon and Zoom Value.

Im am in the US (Green Bay WI) can I use Lat: 44 N Lon 88 W ? also can I use 44.5 or 88.5 ?

And the zoom are the values 0 - 15 or 0 and 15 ?

I can’t seem to find the right mix…

@ Christoph

Thank you… I have the map displaying perfectly now using ( Lat -95 Lon 44 Zoom 2) that creates a nice view of North America.

Hey!

I downloaded your Pepper weeks ago and tried to install it, but I can’t. My problem is being discussed in the official Mint support forum. Can you look at it and tell me what I’m doing wrong? http://www.haveamint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1563 Thanks!

I seem to have successfully installed the plugin, but its not locating any of my hits.

I’ve confirmed that hostip.info is able to locate the IP in my log, but GeoMint shows only “,” as the location, nothing at all in the country view, and displays no pin-points on the map. Its output reads:

Working with 0 points 0 queries from Hostip.info 0 local queries

The install instructions were very simple, so I’m not at all sure what I missed or didn’t do. :(

Do you plan on adding a date filter to Geomint? I still have to send a suggestion to Shaun asking to implement a global date and date-range filter mechanism that any pepper developer can leverage.

Date filtering is probably the biggest thing I find missing from many Peppers. With Geomint for instance, unless I missed it in some doc, I have no idea for what period of time the data is relevant for.

I suppose in Map view it can be said to show the last 50 or 100 visitors, but when you use the Country Data view, then what is the context for that data? The day? All time? There’s just too much ambiguity with a lot of Peppers.

Referrer Aggregator uses a date filter though it is pretty simple. it has fixed filter items for specific number of hours up to days and All Time. This pepper was a must-install because of that feature and the collapsing list.

I’ve been using mint for just over a week and had previously been using Google Analytics. Analytics wasn’t the graceful UI I wanted nor was it real-time. But it did have some nice date filtering. :)

I’ve been enjoying your great pepper for many many months now, but I’ve just updated it to the v0.33 and now it no longer functions… doesn’t display the map at all and when I try to ‘Reload’ using the pepper’s link, Firfox 1.5.0.6 crashes. Any ideas?

Hey there,

I really like the look of this pepper - but I can’t get it to display in my preferences. You are saying to upload the /clupprich/ directory to the server but when openning the downloadable zip file I only get one file in there called class.php and am wondering if this could be the problem…

Hope you can help me out!!

Thanks veru much,

Ross

sorry mate - I got it sorted - the readme says to drop it into the mint/pepper/ directory - doing that didn’t work but dropping it into the mint/perpper/shauninman/ directory did……

either way it seems to be working great now :>

I have the same troubles as Mez in this comment, but in my Opera 9.01. It doesn’t display the map, and link “Reload” just reloads all page. Where can i find 0.31 version?

Same output here Sorry for spam…

Just look at this fresh install of Mint 1.26 with GeoMint 0.33 (only) http://pepelsbey.net/mint/ in Client Mode. Don’t working in FF, Opera & IE.

My Prefs: General Settings > Queries 10…

Yep. All settings by default, except GMaps Key.

You did alter your display.php?

Oops. Done. But still nothing…

Yep, sorry. It was my fault :( But look at this in Opera 9.01… (hidden map at bottom)

Thanks a lot ;) Do you have any ideas why 0.31 version was working fine in unsupported Opera 9.01?
