Phoca Forum

Hi everybody,

I manage a private database which is able to generate regurlarly an up-to-date KML file of the position of my products.

This is my problem...

- First, I upload my kml file into phocamapskml folder
- I create a map linked to this kml file following Phoca indications
- My web site shows perfectly the map

- Later, My kml file is updated and uploaded in phocamapskml (so it replaces the previous version of my kml file)
- Unfortunately, my web site shows only the first version of my map and no the new version.

Could someone help me ?

Joomla 2.5
Last version of Phoca Map Component
Joomla Cache disabled
Phoca map Cache disabled

I'va tried to clear my firefox cache (no effects), chrome cache (no effects).

Is there someone who wants to test my problem and tells me if it is similar ?

Please folow these steps :

1. Upload 1 KML file to the rigth folder
2. create a map linked to this file using Phoca Map Composent
3. display the map on your web site
4. modify the KML file
5. re-display the map on your web site
6. Is your map changed ?

Hi, confirmed (not changed), this seems like Google Maps have some cache, so I think, you need to call the file other name if changed (not sure how long the cache is stored and if it is a cache )

Hi,
And thanks for your response.
In effect, this problem comes from the cache of google map server.

I've got two solutions :
1- using networklink tab in my KML to link to a php page which construct on the fly my markers...
2- change the filename after each update of my KML file like MyMarkerposition_{date}{hour}.kml

To do this, I would like to parse the phocamapskml folder, to retreive the fullname of the only file in this folder and to give this filename to your module.

My question is : where can I find in your module the source code associated to the filename of the kml file and where this filename is passed to the kml descripter ?
