Hi there,

Apologies, I just discovered a bug!!!

Fix here: http://www.themolitor.com/forums/topic/update-v173-for-the-navigator-wp-longlat-fix

Chris,

I wanted to chime in and state that this is the exact issue I was having with my posts (pins across Europe), but I actually have over 1K of POI's I would have to update...
Does the changes to the functions.php that you mention above account for the fact that my POI's do not have physical addresses? This was the main reason I chose this template in the first place... Along with spending hundreds of dollars on other upgrades to back end plugins.

Anything less than allowing my old lat/lon data to be recognized by the template is unacceptable at this point.

While I do understand the need to update code it is always troubling to lose core features that were used to select the template.

Any help you could offer in using only the lat/lon data would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Edward

I don't know why my first message didn't go through... but .. that code change didn't result in any of the fields showing up. Same result.

Alright then. I guess I'll spend all night porting all my data to the new fields.

Hi there,

Possibly, but that goes beyond my knowledge, sorry. :-/

Best,

Chris

ok. that's an option. I would hate to have to do that on all 300 posts. Is there a sql script. to just populate the new fields with the data from the old ones?

[updated last post. Please refresh page]

Hi there,

The custom fields in the latest version have changed because they needed to be updated for the new submission form feature to work (plus it's a better approach in general).

The old custom field data is still in your database, so that content is not lost. If you follow my instructions above, you'll be able to view the old custom post options on your post edit screen.

Try this... open script_list.php and change the following on lines 51-59 from this...

//CHECK FOR LEGACY IF VARS EMPTY
if($latitude){} elseif($oldLatitude){$latitude = $oldLatitude;}
if($longitude){} elseif($oldLongitude){$longitude = $oldLongitude;}
if($addrOne){} elseif($oldAddrOne){$addrOne = $oldAddrOne;}
if($addrTwo){} elseif($oldAddrTwo){$addrTwo = $oldAddrTwo;}
if($pin){} elseif($oldPin){$pin = $oldPin;} else {$pin = $sitePin;}

//GET LAT/LONG FROM ADDRESS
if (!$latitude && !$longitude && $addrOne && $addrTwo) {

...to this...

//CHECK FOR LEGACY IF VARS EMPTY
if($latitude != ''){} elseif($oldLatitude != ''){$latitude = $oldLatitude;}
if($longitude != ''){} elseif($oldLongitude != ''){$longitude = $oldLongitude;}
if($addrOne != ''){} elseif($oldAddrOne != ''){$addrOne = $oldAddrOne;}
if($addrTwo != ''){} elseif($oldAddrTwo != ''){$addrTwo = $oldAddrTwo;}
if($pin != ''){} elseif($oldPin != ''){$pin = $oldPin;} else {$pin = $sitePin;}

//GET LAT/LONG FROM ADDRESS
if ($latitude == '' && $longitude == '' && $addrOne != '' && $addrTwo != '') {

Let me know if that has any impact on the tags page linked above.

Best,

Chris

I disabled all plugins...There are no customizations on the current theme
http://nyhistoric.com/tag/pioneer/
This is New York State website.. all the pins show up in a straight line across eastern Europe.
I edit any post, and the custom fields are all blank. All the long, lat, zoom, address and custom pin info I had is not loading.

Hi there,

Looking at your site, I see there are customizations as well as some markup errors on tag pages. Ref: http://nyhistoric.com/tag/cemetery/

Looking at your source code, the lat/long are being generated properly, so I can only recommend that you revert to a default setup of the theme to make sure your customizations/plugins aren't the cause of any issues.

Let me know.

Best,

Chris

Definitely doesn't load a single thing from the old version
You can see right here
http://nyhistoric.com/

I have 300 posts I'm going to have to copy and paste is there any other way?

Hi there,

The update should load your old pins just fine. I built-in a safe guard for users updating so that they can view the old custom field options in order to migrate settings to the new custom fields.

In the latest version of the theme, open functions.php and locate the following on lines 119-122...

////////////////////////
//LEGACY CUSTOM POST OPTIONS
////////////////////////
//include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/include/old-post-meta.php');

...just uncomment that last line so it looks like this...

////////////////////////
//LEGACY CUSTOM POST OPTIONS
////////////////////////
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/include/old-post-meta.php');

This will make your old custom post options visible on the post edit screen so that you can copy/paste the lat/long data if you experience any issues. Again, the new version SHOULD work just fine with your old settings, but this is an option if you need to see your old settings on the post edit screen.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

I just tested 1.7.2 on my 1.6.0 site (as a way of getting around the chrome loading issue) and 1.7.2 doesn't load any pins... all my posts have blank custom fields and aren't being plotted. Please help.

I'm looking to upgrade my theme version from 1.6, and all my locations are based on long-lat. Does that mean I'll loose all my pins?

Hi Chris,

"The custom data from previous version is still in your database and is still used in the theme if new custom data isn't provided."

Just updated from 1.6.1 to 1.7.2 (last version on Themeforest) and yes, the custom fields were empty as well as all the posts were located in Nigeria or in the middle of the ocean while should be Thailand. I had to go back to 1.6.1 and the site it's working again.

It seems that 1.7.2 doesn't recognize the previous custom fields used by older versions of the theme.

Wordpress 3.7.1 Thanks :)

Hi there,

If you're updating from a prior version to 1.7, the custom fields will be empty because they are generated and managed differently than previous versions. The custom data from previous version is still in your database and is still used in the theme if new custom data isn't provided.

I had to change the way the custom fields were handled for a couple reasons...

1. The new method is written better and is currently the proper way to implement this feature.
2. The front-end submission form feature could not interact with the previous custom fields.

Hope that explains things.

Best,

Chris

Chris,

I am updating from v1.3 to v1.7.1 and having an issue with the pins Lat/Lon showing up in the posts. Almost as if the data from the db is not being pulled in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as none of my markers have a "true" address as well.

Edward

Hi there,

Version 1.7.1 is now available.

Best,

Chris

You rock!! Thanks!!

I submitted an update (v.1.7.1) that adds lat/long as options (not required). The update is currently pending review on ThemeForest.

Best,

Chris

[moved to The Navigator WordPress forum]

I just updated to v1.7 and I'd like to know if there is still a way to set locations based on Lat/Long if they do not have a physical address.

My site is for a commercial real estate company that has listings for plots of land... in the previous version I could just grab the lat/long, plug that in and my non-addressed sites would show up perfectly. Now, all of my posts that do not have physical addresses have to be updated with addresses that I have to guess at which do not correctly mark the sites most of the time. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
