Upgrade to 6.x?

I am no coder, but Ive managed to create a downsized version of geobrowser. It barely contains the functionality of the initial dev version. I leave this note here as tips if someone wants to do the job of properly porting the 1.0-version of the module.

I have ported the so-called 7.0-release (im guessing a typo) of the browser, which it rather old, and do not contain the "create geobrowser page" - stuff. Porting that version would be over my current capabilities.

When in 5.x, I removed the map selection features in admin/geobrowser, and the test map functionality.

To get it working, the first thing needed was to redraw the database calls made by geobrowser (geobrowser.module) to:

<?php
      $get_nodes = "
        SELECT
        {location}.latitude AS geobrowser_lat,
        {location}.longitude AS geobrowser_lon, 
        {location}.lid AS geobrowser_vid, 
        {node}.nid AS geobrowser_nid, 
        tid".$_REQUEST['current_tree']." as term_node_tid, 
        {node}.title AS node_revisions_title, 
        {votingapi_vote}.value IS NULL AS isnull
      
        FROM  {location}
        INNER JOIN {location_instance} ON {location_instance}.lid = {location}.lid 
		INNER JOIN {node} ON {node}.vid = {location_instance}.vid AND {node}.nid = {location_instance}.nid 
        $layers_sql
        LEFT JOIN {votingapi_vote} ON {node}.nid = {votingapi_vote}.content_id
      
        WHERE  
      ";
?>

This seems to do the trick to make the query work with location 3.x, and then in the end drupal 6.x. This because of the location 3.x's changed database structure.

The next thing I did was to do a rough deadwood conversion of the module.
With my downsized version, I encountered only two problems:

The browser.php would not load after the conversion due to that deadwood changed the geobrowser_display_map(). Changing this function back to include("browser.php"); did the trick.

The last thing to fix before it worked was the db_num_rows() call in browser.php. I removed this entire if-sentence, because this was only a checker to see in there was vocabularies assigned that did not exist. The only alternative I found was to call the db with a db_result, so I removed it instead.

Yes go ahead! I will gladly do some betatesting! :)

Phayes, it seems that you have forgot to release the 6.x version, no release, no dev:)
..or maybe the releases haven't updated itself from CVS yet?

Still showing access denied in drupal. But the ftp link is working.
