Thanks for your time and I hope you can have a look on my 2nd question only.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your beautiful theme and you great support.

1) I followed your answers to other users regarding google map enabling APIs and adding credit card and it worked very well.
After I added server name DNS (Godaddy to Bluehost) the google map not anymore working !

2) If I want to put on the map pin for each country and attach documents PDF/Image etc, what format should I use *Page or *Post as I am confused on which one is the right presentation.

Thank you

Thanks for following up with your findings!

Keep me posted if this solutions works or if you encounter any issues with it.

Best,

Christopher

and this is off-topic: But I changed the behavior of an empty search result which would by default release the Yield_sign.jpg:
While keeping the text "Sorry, your search did not return any..." I redirected to the main page to display all available posts. This seams to be less "threatening" then the big red 404 sign!

Here the snippet from search.php:

<?php if (have_posts()) { ?>

<p id="results"><?php _e('Search returned','themolitor');?> <span></span> <?php _e('listing(s)','themolitor');?>...</p>

<?php get_template_part("navigation");

} else {?>
<p><?php _e("Sorry, your search didn't return any listings. Try again?",'themolitor'); ?></p>

<script>
jQuery.noConflict(); jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/images/Yield_Sign.jpg", {speed: 150});
});
</script>
<?php

get_template_part('script');
} ?>

</div><!--end listing-->

Hi Chris,
I managed to repair the site for IE myself:
Here's what I did in script.php.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => $homeCat,
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'hide_empty' => 1,
'depth' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => 800
);
//$customList->query('showposts=50&cat='.$homeCat);
$customList->query($args);

Apparently, your query-line if more memory-cost-intensive then using an array and submitting the query parameters via an argument array.
I hope, that won't break anything else, if not, I would encourage you, to implement these modification in your source tree and release a new version!
BTW: although I did not use a timer to monitore the loading time, but it feels also to be loading faster!

Felix

Hi Chris!

I did some further debugging with IE, and it appears, that it's definitely a memory problem. The debugging console throws a SCRIPT14 Error "Not enough storage". I found some other people having similar problems, and the suggested solution was to decrease the amount of data sent to the client per request.

So my thought is: maybe, instead of loading all posts at once, maybe one can first count the total amount of posts and then load them in slices of - say 100 posts - and then the next 100 etc...

So here's my question: Would you be willing to optimize that theme in a way, that it will support somewhere up to 1000 pins on the map an will load faster and also on Internet Explorer?
BTW, how you archive the load reduction would be up to you, in case you are willing to optimize and the customer is willing to pay;-)

Where do I request a quotation?

Felix

Yes!

By using a category URL in the custom URL field on the post edit screen, you can turn any pin/marker into a category item.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher!
thank your once more for your answer.
Regarding categories: the sites does have many categories at this point.
How ever all I can do is either choose a start-categoriy that will show a sub-set of available locations, or create a dummy-start-page that will have one location.
Would it be possible to create location pins for categories?

Hi there,

I'm pretty sure the issue is related to the volume of posts that are being loaded on the page. I'd imagine that causing significant loading times (regardless of browser used) as each location item has an individual script that fires.

Unfortunately writing a custom script goes beyond the support services I provide here. I best recommendation is to break up your locations into categories and try and get that number down to 200-300 for each group.

Christopher

Hi Chris!

I tried some WP Cache plugins, but they do not make things better.

It's a pitty, but I have to support that old browser and it's ~13% market...

My idea was following: what about a small javascript checking the browser-version, and if the browsercheck returns IE, then simply not enumerating all available posts when loading index.php - say limit at maximum 350 posts.

What remains to be unclear so far is: which part kills IE: the enumeration-job (hardly can believe) or the pin-setting action on the map...

As I can imagine, that your time and will for such an enhancement is limited - maybe you can give me a clue on where to look for in the source.

thanks so far,

pre-christmas greetings from Austria,

Ah, that could be the issue. Unfortunately I don't have access to IE anymore, so my ability to troubleshoot that specific browser is limited. If it's working in every other modern browser, it's very likely an issue with the IE JavaScript engine.

I will say, this theme was built with the intention of it being a simple location guide. I never really envisioned more than 200-300 items on the map, so I never tested for performance with that volume.

Since you clearly have a very large volume of data, I might recommend using a static page for your home page and breaking up all your posts into groups of categories (if applicable).

That would definitely speed up the performance of the site and address the issue you're having with IE.

Besides that, I would recommend looking into CDN services and trying out various "cache" plugins. That could help as well.

Christopher

Hi Chris,
I think, I have a clue on this issue: after all my efforts to clone the site, create an entirely new one, change the theme to the factory-version from you, using the default themes etc... I changed from the 542 released articles batches of 28 articles to status draft... once I was down to 442 - so 100 less - IE was loading the page after a while.
So here's my quesion: is there any maximum post limitation for the theme or wordpress? Or is IE having troubles with it's javascript engine?

thanks for your continuing effort to help me. I appreciate that a lot.
regards,
Felix

Hi there,

Are you have the same issues with the demo site?

Reference: http://themes.themolitor.com/wpnavigator/

This is important for me to know in troubleshooting this issue.

Hi Chris,
I tried, I downloaded a fresh copy and switched the theme.
Unfortunately same problem...
As this is a production site, I cannot let it run with the unmodified theme. As there is a major timeshift between our locations, how can we manage you to see the unmodified result anyway?
Maybe we could define a certain time, based on the same Timezone?
BTW I have tried to copy the DB and the whole WP dir to a new location, how ever I was not successful..
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm noticing a lot of customizations on your site. Are you have the same issues with the demo site?

Let me know.

Hi,
I'm using the most current release of the theme, and I have a valid API-Key.
The Website's URL is http://ngoprojects.globaleverantwortung.at/
It working fine with Firefox and Chrome, but won't load at all in Internet Explorer.
It get's worse, as IE crashes after a while and complains about a script that is taking to long to load.
How ever, I interrupt soon enough by hitting the ESC Key, the script is interrupted and the site partly loads.
Unfortunately, IE is still the most commonly used browser so it's a big problem.
What I've done so far:
Created a new wordpress instance, loaded the theme (works)
Switched the theme in the not working instance to wordpress default twentyXXX theme (works)
Kept the theme, deactivated all other plugins (still not working)
So my conclusion is, that it must be related to the theme in a way or an other as a simple theme-switching loads the site...
There should also be 542 locations, how ever, only 483 are shown...
Please help me find a solution for this problem!
regards,
Felix
