After some weeks of having decided it, I finally put myself to migrate bravenet's guestmap to my own one in my server so it wouldn't have those annoying ads. I thought it would be simple.. but guess what: nothing is simple!! I started checking and testing some scripts without finding anything I really liked. So I was about to give up but I found a perfect one in Brainerror.
The script I got from brainerror is just great! But as I never leave the things like they are, I wanted a map with political divisions so I had to make my own. After I made it, I finished setting up the database in MySql (my first time in sql ... no more ms access). It took me a while but I could handle it. That was yesterday... now comes the bad part... As I was testing the guestmap, I filled the database with "test" entries so when it was ready to publish I had to erase those entries. But out of the blue I lost my "permission" to access my control panel and manage the database... I was pissed off because when I am in moods to do something, I NEED to do it... and because of this database thing I wouldn't be able to.
Anyways, found my way to overcome this problem .. there's always more than one way to do things :D !! I just created another database and moved the old data there (hahah.. anything's possible). But the main problem is that I cannot access to my control panel and the mail server is not working either which pisses me off the most, I cannot read my emails !!!!! **MAD** (not that I was getting many mails, but you know...)
Well ... this was my weekend's story and now you can post your messages in my brand-new fully functional guestmap :D Just give it a try !
