If you are using GMapEz and you load it dynamically, then you may face a problem having a gray area instead of your map. In our case, we were using GMapEz and JQuery Stepy. When the page was loaded, the first step didn’t have a map. When the user hit next, then a map was supposed to appear, but it was gray.

What happens is that if the map is not displayed then you will have to call ‘checkResize’ on GMapEz’ map object.

The first thing you need to do is expose the googlemap as a variable accessible from other scripts. For this, you will need to edit gmapez-x.js, including ‘var googlemap = null;’ in the top of your script, and then modify the source as needed to create the object.

Finally, when the map is displayed (in our case, on step number 2 of the form) you call googlemap.map.checkResize().

This should fix your gray map :-)

It’s a bit short notice, but we will be holding our first slack line session tomorrow morning at Villa Lobos park! Should you are around there, look for us, hop on the rope and let’s have some fun. While we are on the ground we can talk about geek things too :-)

See you there!

Yeah!  We made it!

Thank’s to Bruno, Claudinha, Brian, Cibele, Luciana and our new fellows from DiBrasil Slackline.

It was a perfect day. Cesar

What ho lads!

Few days ago I was talking with Olivier Renault [1] about few things that he needs to deploy JinFeng [1] using a non-interactive command line. JinFeng is an integration and testing platform built on top of many Open Source tools, like TestLink [2] and Jenkins [3]. One of the features he needs is Test Steps in TestLink XML-RPC API (I’m working on this, and hopefully will be able to provide a patch for TestLink 1.9.4).
