    <description>Similar to the online users block, but this block uses the geographical information from users profiles to display the locations of online users on an OpenStreetMap or Google map. The geocoding of locations are cached in the Moodle database and updated when cron runs.</description>

      <description>by Alex Little. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;@Diego - It ought to work on Moodle 2.6.8 - Moodle 1.9.x is now very old and unsupported by Moodle - so I would advise not using this version. The best starting point on your local 2.6.8 Moodle is to turn on the debugging option in the block setttings and then run you Moodle cron task - this should then show the  connections to the Geonames service and will let you know (a) if it's connecting correctly and then (b) if the locations are being returned. Cheers, Alex&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Diego Mejía. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;I'm working on two different parts with Moodle.&lt;br&gt;
1) Xampp to test locally with Moodle 2.6.8 and in block shows me the map but not the points where users are located .&lt;br&gt;
2) I am working with Moodle 1.9.4 on a free hosting for testing and in this case only shows me the box and nothing else, or draw me a map and points ... The site URL is http : // pruebamoodle194 .besaba.com / .&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The truth is not bad if I'm entering the key or the Google API key is bad or not , and not as Geonames enable web service nor how to use it . I would appreciate help me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Miguel Angel Velasquez Teran. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I solved my mishap, the problem was geonames account, the webservice service was not enabled, so the table mdl_block_online_user_map never updated.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Thanks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Miguel Angel Velasquez Teran. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;The problem is that if Juan Perez connected his name is seen in the block &quot;Users Online&quot; but not seen in the block &quot;Maps users online&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Alex Little. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi Miguel, - sorry to hear that. When you say it doesn't match, do you mean that users aren't showing, or they're showing inthe wrong place, or something else...&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
BTW.. posted as issue on github here; &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/alexlittle/moodle-block_online_users_map/issues/10&quot; class=&quot;_blanktarget&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://github.com/alexlittle/moodle-block_online_users_map/issues/10&lt;/a&gt; - so maybe best to reply there.&lt;br&gt;
Cheers, Alex&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
