Loading .gpx doesn’t work

Hi @grandevil,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you are having this issue. Would it be possible for you to provide a link to the GPX file in question, so I can try it on my end?

Some other users have reported GPX upload issues, but if you are able to upload to your media library then that does not appear to be the issue.

Cheers,

Joe

Thank you for your prompt response. Any GPX file like
https://www.openstreetmap.org/trace/3514534/data

@grandevil,

Thanks for that, I had no issues with that GPX. I am unsure exactly what is creating the issue on your environment, this is new to me and a little tricky to diagnose without being able to replicate on my end.

Would you be able to install this version of the plugin? It should output some extra information to the console, which might help. Please can you provide me with the console output (you may need to “drill down” in the console so all information is displayed, as some may be hidden by default).

I appreciate anything you can provide. If you are having this problem them I’m sure others are, so it would be good to get to the bottom of it.

Thanks,

Joe

I also meant to say that in order to install this version you will need to either manually install it, or use a plugin that allows you to upload it through the WP Admin.

By the way, if you upload the plugin to the open server (local), the plugin does not display half of the information at all. Build is clean, just installed

Thanks for the information.

I can see that the file gets uploaded successfully, but when Waymark tries to read it (using the PHP file_get_contents() function) an error occurs and instead of receiving the contents of the file, it receives false.

Honestly this is going to be tricky to diagnose from my end, as it appears to be something with how your environment is configured. Another user suggested using the Media Library to handle file uploads and hearing about your issue makes me think I should move this up on my to-do list.

Unfortunately this will require quite a bit of work, so I can not say when I will be able to get this done. Sorry I can’t be of more help on this one.

Very strange, I have not seen this one before either. Are you getting any PHP errors?

It might also be worth checking for errors in your HTML source.

Yes, error 404.

Thanks for the answer. It’s a pity, I really liked the demo, it just fits my task. I will have to use a stable plugin. But there is much less function.
If it helps, I can give you access to my console. This is a new site, there is nothing on it yet. my email address [email protected]

With respect grandevil

Debug File Validation
The file could not be uploaded to the server

.
the plugin that you advised reports when loading any file, even .jpg. could it have something to do with it?

Hi @grandevil,

Thanks for the offer. I’m going to hold off digging any deeper into the file upload problem in favour of overhauling it to use the Media Library in the future.

This currently works for most users, but unfortunately with endless combinations of setups/environments it is almost impossible to write software that is completely bug free for everyone.

Yes, error 404.

I’m not really following this issue. I can see from the screenshot that the page is partially loading, but not correctly. 404 is a HTTP error for “page not found”, so I am a little confused about how you are seeing that. It’s hard for me to comment going on the information I have.

I’m sorry that the plugin does not function well for you. There is a reason it is still not version 1.0 yet! :0)

Cheers,

Joe

Hi @grandevil,

I have spent some time on this and have created a version of the plugin which I’m hoping will fix this issue. You can download it here.

In order to install this version you will need to either manually install it, or use a plugin that allows you to upload it through the WP Admin.

I suggest backing up your install before activating development versions of the plugin!

Once activated, please try to upload the file again through the Waymark Editor.

Additionally, I have created a new Setting (Waymark Settings > Misc. > Editor Options > Media Library File Uploads) which will enable the Media Library for file uploads. I would appreciate it if you could enable this and test out the file upload functionality again.

Let me know how that goes. If you are still having issues, please enable (Waymark Settings > Misc. > Advanced > Debug Mode) and provide any console output.

Cheers,

Joe
