Purpose of the mod
This mod changes the layout of the pins under the Google map on getperson.php from [pin] [= text] [pin] [= text] [pin] [= text] etc to a row of pins with the text superimposed on the bottom of the pin.
Developer
This mod was developed by Roger Moffat
Requirements
- A working TNG installation. Automated installation has been tested on TNG Version 7.1.x and TNG 8.0.0.
- A backup of the TNG modules involved - see below.
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager (note this is built into TNG 8).
Automated Installation
TNG 7
- Download the file from TNG Google maps Pin Legend TNG 7
- Extract the downloaded config file into your admin/mod_folder folder. You should end up with 1 file (google_maps_change_pin_legend_layout.cfg) and a folder (LiberationSans-Regular) that contains a font needed for this mod.
- If you have already installed the Google Maps - More Place Levels Mod you probably don't want to use the Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod which uses less place levels - if you have made any changes to your place levels, some of them will be unused if the Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod mod is installed.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the google_maps_change_pin_legend_layout.cfg config file.
TNG 8
- Download the file from TNG Google maps Pin Legend TNG 8
- Extract the downloaded config file into your mods. You should end up with 1 files - gmaps_change_pin_legend_V8.y.z.cfg and a folder containg a TrueType font needed for this mod.
- If you have already installed the Google Maps - More Place Levels Mod you probably don't want to use the Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod which uses less place levels - if you have made any changes to your place levels, some of them will be unused if the Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod mod is installed.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the gmaps_change_pin_legend_V8.y.z.cfg config file.
Even More Pins
If you want to change the pin colours, a complete set of pins, and a handy contact sheet that gives the number and colour matches for all 216 pins can be downloaded here TNG Map Pins - Complete Set
In the event of a problem
- Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
- Or copy the backup versions getperson.php back to your site.
Visualization of this mod
Turns this (TNG 7):
or this (TNG8):
into this
the pins in less horizontal space.
Side effects
- Happiness that your Maps are much more attractive :-)
- As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented. (Using the Mod Manager to remove the mod before the upgrade and re-installing the mod after the upgrade greatly simplifies this process).
