Hi,

Thanks for this component.

I'm running on a local server, using wamp.
Joomla 1.5
sobi 2.9.0.2

so directory is

localhost:85/test1.

It's complaining about

GoogleMapAPI:createMarkerIcon: Error reading image: /components/com_sobi2/GoogleMapsIcons/icong1.png

echoing document root

D:/Program Files/wamp/www/

But my site is in

D:/Program Files/wamp/www/test1.

What's the best to overcome this, without hardcoding?

cheers
Ed

Try changing the folowing lines:

 
$MapMarkerIcon = '/components/com_sobi2/GoogleMapsIcons/icong'.$iconNum.'.png';
$MapMarkerShadow = '/components/com_sobi2/GoogleMapsIcons/shadow50.png';

To:

 
$MapMarkerIcon = 'GoogleMapsIcons/icong'.$iconNum.'.png';
$MapMarkerShadow = 'GoogleMapsIcons/shadow50.png';

This should make the link document relative instead of root relative. p.s. You may need a / at the start of the literal, so try both.

Hi Jerry,

thanks for the reply.

Doing the above, I get the following error.

GoogleMapAPI:createMarkerIcon: Error reading image: GoogleMapsIcons/icong1.png

I think the path should be changed in GoogleMapApi.class.php

$_shadow_image_path = strpos($iconShadowImage,'http') === 0 ? $iconShadowImage : $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $iconShadowImage;

should include something in addition to DOCUMENT_ROOT.

But not sure which file to include?

I think I need access to

JURI::base()

but I don't know which file to include?

cheers
Ed

where

            $_shadow_image_path = strpos($iconShadowImage,'http') === 0 ? $iconShadowImage : $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $iconShadowImage;

Actually, it would work to put "/test1" in front of the links where they are referenced. When you go into production you won't have that extra layer and you could remove them. A pain, I know. The API is a package that I downloaded. I included it in my zip for convenience. I think with the few places you would have to change, it would be better just to prepend the reference to test1, but it is up to you.
