Transparent Technologies announces the immediate availability of v3.2 of the TransparentMAPS add-on for Open-Realty®. Existing customers can obtain the lartest version from their customer area. This latest release of our popular mapping and geocoding add-on software has been updated further for PHP v7.0 compatibility, includes new map types for Featured listings, as well as marker clustering and the ability to set custom icon sets individually for each map type.

Requires Open-Realty® v3.3+

PHP server requirements have changed: Do not attempt to upgrade TransparentMAPS if you are currently using PHP 5.5 or earlier.

Upgrade Notes

After upgrading, you will need to make sure you have set the new OR v3.3 Latitude and Longitude fields via OR's Site Config -> Listings Tab in the Map Settings section. You will also want to remove the template tag (if present) from your public template's main.html file and any other template files as this tag is no longer used.

If you were previously using custom marker pin icons located in the /icons subfolder of TMAPS, you will need to copy them to a subfolder beneath that such as: /icons/custom and then your marker icon set will become selectable for use in TMAPS as the 'custom' set, or whatever you named the subfolder.

The TransparentMAPS documentation has been updated to include the latest changes and additions

Compatibility Notes

PHP v5.6.x or v7.0.x is required. We still recommend using PHP v5.6 at this time, PHP 7 users will want to definitely make sure to always have the latest ionCube loaders installed at all times. Recommended ionCube loader versions as of this posting are v5.1.1+ for PHP 5.6, and v6.1 for PHP v7.0

This version requires Open-Realty v3.3+
