[Geomoose-users] Mouseover map area to show pop up or link- Point Data

I had an issue that maybe somewhat related. The problem was the hover worked on my PC but not on anyone else's PC. The problem was the identify.php in the Hover code.
 My computer accepted the url as http://gis....../php/identify.php. Everyone else's computer required a http://www.gis...../php/identify.php. The website url also needed to be http://www for the pop-up to show. Instead of just http://. I think it was something to do with a DNS.

Not sure if that'll helps but that was the issue I had.

If the hover works on polygons, maybe you can buffer the point layer as a workaround.  Hope that helps.

Yes Len, the error is gone from the error console when I was consistent with the root. But the popup still does not show up when I hover over the point locations. I will assume there is no problem with using identify tool on points and keep looking for any mistakes and omissions (if there is could someone tell me what the workaround is). Cheers.

Franz

Seems like it could be a proxy issue.  I notice that the URL refers to "franzy-pc", which is probably your localhost.  Even though frenzy-pc and localhost are the same computer, they are seen as two different sources.  Can you try changing your URL or matching everything up in the map-source and hover script?

I have set tolerance to a larger pixel value (10) just to make sure. I get the following error in mozilla's error console anytime I hover over the point locations.


Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.send]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://franzy-pc/geomoose2/OpenLayers-2.8/OpenLayers.js :: anonymous :: line 1081"  data: no]

I have checked and rechecked the templates, the mapfile and as for the code its the same. There is something probably funny with the querybypoint as opposed to querybyshape? Any idea Len (its kinda your brain child?)?
