The error should say the address could not be geocoded. A further issue is that the geonames parameter and default geoservice for googlemaps are not working, and Maps is using geonames for everything. You can set this in localsettings to work with the Google service, which does not fail at several

Assuming you use Google Maps, the boxes should show a vertical scrollbar when there is to much content to fit. This has been slightly tweaked in 0.6, but should still work in 0.5.5. -- Jeroen De Dauw * http://blog.bn2vs.com * http://wiki.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. 50 72 6F 67 72 61 6D 6

Thanks. In the mean time, v0.5.5 seems to be working ok for me now. The process installing, removing and reinstalling Vavlidator and Maps somehow seemed to fixed it. One more question: How can I enlarge the description box for each item using Maps? I have long descriptions that run outside the whi

You can simply disable the non-geocoding features. See the docs [0] or look in the Maps settings file. The Google Maps extension does not have a separate geocoding parser function as far as I'm aware. If you get a warning saying you don't have Validator installed, you do not have it installed (co

Using 0.5.5 I still get the "The following addresses could not be geocoded and have been omitted from the map". I'm using the format: {{#display_points: Address ~Title ~Description ; Address ~Title ~Description ; |width=800|height=600|zoom=4|center=41,-91|types=normal|controls=large }} Using 0.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [gsoc] splitting the img_metadata field into a new table

2010-06-01 Thread bawolff
Yes, I'll definitly keep that in mind. Currently I'm thinking that for deleted images and old versions of images I'll keep all the metadata inside img_metadata as serialized php, since most of the use cases for having metadata in a different table really only apply to the current version of images.
