Question about map background layer #8

Closed dvorapa closed 9 years ago

dvorapa commented 9 years ago

Could be offtopic, but I hope somebody will help me. If I go to facebook.com/messages, map opens automatically in down-left corner on a position somewhere in Atlantic ocean with default zoom. But I live on the other side of the world and all my friends are less than 50 km far from me. How could I set default position and zoom in Mapbox map? (I tried some possibilities and googled a lot, but without any result)

BTW thank you, the author of this extension, for this awesome work. I know it looks like it will die in a few days, but I totally love this 2nd dimension of the text location notification in fb chat (which nobody reads at all I think)...

Unrelated but is it working for you ? I’m getting nulls co-ord values for all requests :/

dvorapa commented 9 years ago

I don't know, first I've solved issues in css in my fork and I'm trying to fix this issue now. On this side of the world is now deep night, so nobody is online to see, where he is or where he was...

xrisk commented 9 years ago

It doesn’t matter if people are online or not. The way the app works — if you scroll up to an old message that was sent using messenger with location turned on, it should turn up on the map. But currently it’s not, even with location turned on. I just confirmed it by having a friend send me a message with location turned on. So either Facebook’s changed the location retrieval mechanism, or they’ve put a system-wide blanket on location services.

Marauder’s Map is now broken.

Ah-ha, okay, sorry for my confusedness. It probably died, so early... But if it'd start working in a future (or the author would find any solution), how could I set map prefferences I'd asked before.

I just got the map to work, and now has an issue with "0 Users and 0 Points". Did facebook already break this extension?

xrisk commented 9 years ago

The map will come, locations will not turn up.

necov commented 9 years ago

So yes, it is broken?

xrisk commented 9 years ago

Yes. What have I written above? -_-

xrisk commented 9 years ago

I quote — “Marauder’s Map is now broken"

@xrisk Thank you! I've searched on Mapbox, but I didn't know, it is set in code.
