Hi

when someone (user) including myself (superadmin) submits a hotspot only the user name is captured and not the Joomla User ID. Hence my Hotspots tab in the profile shows nothing. I can add the user id manually but I guess that was not the idea of this wonderful extension which is great by the way. Just need to figure out how to enable user id capture.

Any idea? Many thank

Hi,

hmm this should not happen. Normally the user id is also written into the db, when you are logged in. At least this always worked for me.

Please have a look at you database in jos_hotspots_marker and look for the field "autoruserid". This should not be empty if you are logged in and add hotspots in the frontend.

In the backend the userid is not saved (only if you enter one in the field). This is intended, so you can costumize it.

Best regards,

Yves

I have the same problem (version 0.9.4beta). I have looked in the DB, autoruserid is empty and the hotspot was submitted from frontend

Thanks,

Peter

I have looked at the sourcecode generated on the add hotspot page. The form-field value of autor userid is empty:



This code seems to be generated from views/all/tmpl/addhotspot.php, line 223:



So somehow the user->id var is empty. This should help locate/solve the problem.

I checked views/all/tmpl/addhotspot.php, line 223
and the code is:




But hotspot still not get the user id.

I found the right code.

views/all/tmpl/addhotspot.php, line 221 on version 0.9.4

Here is the picture

When i add a new hot spot while i am logged in. It does not show up on my community builder profile. What do i need to change?

Hi...

I dont know why, because i'm not a programmer.

But it will show up just in case if you are adding the spot from frontend and the autoapproval is turned on.

It looks like all the auto settings are correct. I don't see it capturing the joomla id when i look on the back end. The hot spots show up fine on the main map. They are not showing up on the community builder map.
