All you have to do is upload a new image in place of the other. Simple as that.

You wouldn't be using xnull would you?  My site and xnull itself both seem to be down, with myown site disappeared from the DNS.  

Not xnull but dzones. When they moved me to a new server with a new IP last week they put me on the futzy DNS servers, so I moved them today to the good ones... now it just has to propagate again.

Have fun, Moya

Not quite true... the current php files use imagecreatefrompng and imagepng, those need to be changed if you use a jpg instead. Might as well make it a selectable option in the Admin panel.

Oh sorry didn't understand what you meant, I thought you where talking about changing the name of the file. You want it to be an option to choose whether it will be jpg or gif.

I will see about adding that but no promises that it will be in 0.6.

Just as an added note, you should be able to determine the image type from the header, allowing users to use jpg, png or gif files (as the libraries allow).

What I would do, is have an option in the admin pannel to select a map image.  Then modify worldmap.php to look at the image type, and use the approrpriate image creationg function - creating a blank image with an error message "GIF file type not supported" or "PNG file type not supported" if applicable.

Good suggestion, thanks! Looks you need to add some more to your queue, Chris

[Joseph Fung]

Good suggestion, thanks!

No problem.  It was something I always intended to do, but never got around to - and if someone else is willing to do the work for me, all the power to them

Well, it'd be in our (YaPP) admin center, so it wouldn't do you much good

Hello all !

After some time of actively diplaying and using the Mighty Map ... it got to my attention that all pins are somewhat light blue colored ....

I wonder if I can change their color to a more powerful red ....

How can I do that ??

Here's the link to the map : http://www.betasom.it/forum/index.php?action=betasommap


Also, reading the php manual, the page on the

Code Select Expand

imagecreatefrompng command ...

it got to my attention that .... in order to get some colors in dynamically created images like this one, you have to place those colors in the background image too ...

Are the two things linked ?

How can I get the RED ??

 


Thanks in advance,


powergen

[Chris Cromer]

No the colors in the image are NOT link to the color of the pins. The color of the pins are set in the source file... but I don't know why ALL of the pins would be blue. Only 1 pin should be blue, the users pin, all others should be red.

[Michele]

Chris, when I was using a jpeg, all my pins were green. Dunno why, but I'm guessing it was the same reason that "Who is this?" didn't work with the jpeg.

If all his are blue, perhaps he's using something other than png too?

HTH, Mad Moya

Chris, have a look to my Mighty Map !!

The pins are light blue !!!

 


I changed the image .... I didn't change the colors code  ...

 


What else could it be ??

[andrea]

The pins in my map are red, as they should be. Maybe you are using to many colors in your map? I observed that when my png was transparent, the worldmap script was changing some of the colors, too. The same when I tried a non websafe background color, fitting to my website colors. The best results were when taking a nontransparent white background and a greyscale map image.
