VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition 1.0.4
I'm proud to announce that the Hotspot Edition is currently available to you all !!!

Function
The vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is a design from StonyArc (http://www.stonyarc.com). It allows you to create and maintain a whole range of elements like landmarks, places to visit or even people. The application is fully manageable from the control panels. Each specific category can have a specific colour code. The configuration is done by the administrator. He or she can edit/approve/add catogories name it, it's there.
Clicking on a marker will open a small balloon with some essential elements for that spot and an image in the second tab. For each marker on the map there is also a full details page including support for the vbulletin full editor (wysiwyg) so additional information and images can be added.

Use the menus to navigate through all the functions.

Vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is ideal for handling landmarks, travel, events or even giving your users their own page.


Don't forget to hit install !!!!!!!

[yinyang]

awesome!

is there any way to join this with your VBGooglemap mod? perhaps different color
pin for the hot spots, etc.

[caliman]

Related does this use a different map than the member map? In other words... can I keep them separate... a member map and an events map? That would be sweet.

You can use both at the same time without any issues normally.

Your googlemap key will function in both too.

Make sure you upload all the files in the upload folder also you can do a full refresh for the page (it uses frames)

bitfield_vbgooglemap.xml
cpnav_vbgooglemaphse.xml

have to be in the includes/xml folder

admin/index.php?do=buildbitfields can help too but first check the above.

[stonyarc]

Weeee thanks for the release!!! :D

Now go and install it quickly :banana: :banana:


Can someone post a link so I can see it running somewhere. It's always a special moment.:cool:

Nice complement to the member edition:)

Do you have to know the lattitude and longitude of everything you want to add?

[stonyarc]

Do you have to know the lattitude and longitude of everything you want to add?
not really,

You can click it on a city, landmark nearby the event or location or whatever.

You are free in that regard. Just click the small map when entering the data it will center on that location.


All,

Don't forget you can create your own extra categories in the admincp.
I preloaded 18 colours so you can go all the way.

[limey]

First of all I think this will be great.

Second why can't I add this to my database:
Your full text could not be added into the database because one or more fields blank were left blank. Please make sure you have enter all required information.
Return to previous page

Why should a location require a date? Does the date need to be in a special format? Plus I don't know why it won't accept my data as its perfectly ok. I'm pulling the long-lat numbers from google maps.

The marker text, the title and full text are mandatory fields. The lat and lng are filled in by the map or by setting the marker to a specific location. The date field is not mandatory. It's free text to allow people to freely enter a time description if relevant.

If you redownload the version that is now online and you overwrite the file vbgooglemaphse.php, you'll see that it now fills in a default text in the full text field.

The vbeditor takes his settings from the general settings of the forum so you cannot leave it empty. I'm looking for a fix for that one but the workaround is to download again and overwrite that file vbgooglemaphse.php, if you don't want to fill in something

[limey]

Ok thanks stonyarc. I was filling in everything, but for some reason it still wouldn't take. I'll try this version.

[limey]

I still get that error that it won't let me add an element. I'm giving up for now and will come back to it later.

"Your full text could not be added into the database because one or more fields blank were left blank. Please make sure you have enter all required information.

This looks to be one of the most useful hacks (once I get it working) for me that I've seen in a long time. Nice job.

[wizardan]

Fully tested all features.
Happy to report no bugs whatsover.
Awesome work, stonyarc.
I could see this, or the member edition as default in vB4.0;)

the full text error applies to the bottom vbulletin text editor. don't change the lat lng fields just click in the map somewhere.

marker title, marker text and full text that's the only thing you need to fill in and it should work fine.

Hey wizardan,

Thanks for fully testing it and reporting back.

There are some minor thingy like some redundant phrases but that should clear up in the next service release.

I'm quite happy with the functions and how they work it offers to the users. There is a lot of potential in this app.

This as default in vb 4 would be very nice. They might want to clean my code a bit but the concept is there :D

I'm telling you its not. I just installed vbseo and I wonder if the final submit is causing something not to work.

When I add an element this is what it looks like: vbgooglemaphse.php?do=addelement

After it posts and I get that error I just see this:
vbgooglemaphse.php

Should it have all the variables on the end or is this ok?

Its definitely not working for me. Reuploaded the whole hack double and triple checked everything. I'll try it on another board in a little bit and see if it works there.

I believe you, I'm just looking for a solution.

For dynamic application like vbgooglemap and vbgooglemaphse you'll have to configure vbseo to exclude, bypass or ignore them.

They even mention that on their site.

[yinyang]

awesome!

is there any way to join this with your VBGooglemap mod? perhaps different color
pin for the hot spots, etc.

i meant, can you make the members map and the hotspots map the same map, i.e. use the same map for both those things?

ALSO: in your PDF file in step 7, you wrote that the link should point to "vbgooglemap.php". i think you meant to write "vbgooglemaphse.php".

[stonyarc]

i meant, can you make the members map and the hotspots map the same map, i.e. use the same map for both those things?

I could cook up a function for that so that users are in overlay in this map. The datamodel supports it.

If so I might have to discontinue the member edition.

However some people have 500-600 users on there if you are going to combine that with a few 100 events or locations or whatever it will become crowded.

Thanks for the error catch I'll update the pdf file now.

[Tyegurl]

i take it you just reuploaded the file lmfao....was having problems unzipping it....so i came back to download and it said invalid file....refreshed and woo hoo it downloaded...

works beautifully ;) i wanna chat with you on something....i will pm you...i know how busy you are...so take your time getting back to me its no big rush :D

i think you should do it. you could perhaps have an on/off switch for members and hotspots... i.e., they can choose to show only members, or only hotspots, or both. but i think it would be a more elegant modification if that was possible... not that this doesn't already rock!

This is currently a seperate version and it doesn't mix anything with the Member edition

You can define your own categories so if you have a small board and define your usergroup as a category they will show.

I dropped in 3 markers without a problem. It must be something data related but normally it checks for issues.

You can also download the version now online of vbgooglemaphse.php and overwrite that one so that het prefills the full text with a small text to avoid the board warning that the post is too short.

The full text error comes from the editor at the bottom. Do you have settings on your general board that limit the use?

Can you also post a link?

Hello,

some people reported insert error on the vbgooglemap HSE.

I build in an extra check

Please upgrade to version 1.0.1 to fix the issue

To upgrade only overwrite the vbgooglemaphse.php and reupload the product xml with overwrite to yes.


Thank you

would it be possible to make the info come up as you scroll over a marker ?

You want it as an option or as a standard feature.

Well someone has to define where the event is.

It's very easy to link to the map once the marker is set. Just go to the list or details page and copy the URL (shortcut) of the "show on map".

That will directly link to a location on the map.

Auto create from within calendar isn't possible as you don't know the coordinates of the event.

1. after that set the location on the map.

2. go the the list of the details page of that location

3. on the "show on map" right click and select "copy shortcut" (IE) or "copy link location" (firefox)

4. go back to the event and edit

5. paste the link direct or use bbcode [ URL = LINKHERE ]show on map[ / URL ]

6. save and done

Are your sure you haven't put it inside an if statement???

I think I see it

The phrase should be $vbphrase[vbgooglemaphse].

I'll correct the pdf file

Edit it's correct in the pdf. So just put the correct phrase call and it should be fine

[firstrebel]

Checked that. If I change vbgooglemaphse.php to vbgooglemap.php and $vbphrase[googlemaphse] to $vbphrase[googlemap] the link to googlemap 2.0.2 appears. Add the hse to the end again and nothing appears.

[South Fork]

Very nice Stony.

At some future point if you have time... With the potential for so many links is there any way to limit the view to one category's worth of markers, with each marker color / category description at the top linked to view that type of marker? Otherwise, my map is just going to end up being a blur of marker color.

Category specific balloon info or limit the view of the info inside the balloon to those fields that are populated?

Strong work.

As with the category filter that is available on the list I'm creating the same for the map markers itself. It will be included in the next major release (minors excluded)

It has to do with editor settings on your board. I haven't found the exact reason yet.

Open the vbgooglemaphse.php in an editor

Somewhere in the 200's


if ($vbulletin->GPC['message'] == '' )
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('fulltext_empty')) );
}
if ($vbulletin->GPC['title_map'] == '' )
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('title_map_empty') ));
}
if ($vbulletin->GPC['text_map'] == '' )
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('text_map_empty')) );
}



And comment those out
/*
if ($vbulletin->GPC['message'] == '' )
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('fulltext_empty')) );
}
if ($vbulletin->GPC['title_map'] == '' )
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('title_map_empty') ));
}
if ($vbulletin->GPC['text_map'] == '' )
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('text_map_empty')) );
}
*/

That should get you passed the error checking.

I'm looking for a more final solution for this issue. It must be something really stupid but I can't put my finger on it yet.

Top Job Stonyarc, a real useful addition to my forum.

i'm having a problem with markers not setting to the centered location, I've added about 7 or 8 so far and none has been in the right place. Having to edit each one manually and can't let my co admins use it, they'll end up all over the place. I cdouble click and zoom to centre and it all looks fine, click add and the long and lat do not stay the same as I'd just used so i recentre, make sure its in the right place and then submit details but the market still moves, go to admin CP, edit the marker and add the exact long and lat and its fine. using a mac/safari/firefox.

Vbgooglemap HSE is running the click and forget mode.

So when entering a new element the marker should automatically appear on the small map. Just one single click. Once the marker is there the map will autocenter on that location and change the values in the lat and lng fields.

There is no more drag to center stuff needed.

on IE and FF you can even set a marker on the edge of a pool if you want so maybe it's a safari issue.



HSE was tested on opera / firefox and IE

Changed the vbgooglemaphse.php as mentioned, but in a strange kinda way, I receive the same error.
This is one of the best products I came accross, but I guess I'll have to wait to implement it on my board, untill a solution comes along.

Ok people

After one week of "being alive", I want a small evaluation of the Hotspot Edition and a list of items you all would like to see in the next release of the hotspot edition.

Now is your chance to get involved in this, so please do so. I think we can do great stuff with this one.

[Gizmo999]

Maybe a bit more control over the individual text/url links, at the moment it will always say "url for marker" or URL for thread and there are times I'd like to put my own description in there.

[MagiKelly]

Installed. Being less than knowledgeable with code and the like the hard part was putting the code for the Navbar in the correct place. Sorted in the end though.

One thing I found out is that if you have the "&" symbol in your marker description none of those markers will show up on the map. They do show up in the elements list but not the map. Not a huge problem as I just typed "and" longhand but I thought I should let you know.

Good idea. I can link it to the permission. Just a small icon on the balloon for those usergroups that have the right to do so. Or maybe a small menu.

[MagiKelly]

Is it possible to set it so that people can edit their own posts but not everyone else's. When people make a mistake I have to delete or fix it but if I set it to let registered users edit entries they are then able to edit everyones.

The datamodel (table) should support it.

Normally the permissions are set on a usergroup level.

I thought that that should be sufficient if you allow mods or a special group edit rights and only admin delete rights.

But if a majority feels like a user should be able to edit their own entries.

This isn't really a userbased application. At least it's not intended to be one.

Hi Stonyarc - another great product.

I am experiencing a basic issue though - I cannot add any entries. When I click on "Insert the information" - it gives me the "redirecting to main googlemap page", but there are no markers added. I had filled in all the information.

There are no errors in any of the logs - so cannot figure out how to resolve this. All usergroup permissions have been double checked.

Is there some way to enable debugging?

Thanks,

UPDATE - I have just enabled the "Auto-approve additions" and this has now started working. Is this essentially an ON-OFF toggle?

This is just an option in place so that when you enable all user entry you'll have an approval process in the admincp.

Also when you want to do something special (showing only a certain type for a certain period) you can just take some stuff offline without deleting it


It's all in the features.

This isn't really a userbased application. At least it's not intended to be one.

For my site it is a user based function. My site is for open canoers and this map is used for members to mark the location of river access points and places of interest in their area.

Still a great hack and does pretty much everything I could ask it would just save on admin time if users could fix their own entries. After a while they will probably make less mistakes anyway ;)

I had a tiny problem. When I change the date, it reverts back to the old date entry when go back to edit the details page again. The new date shows up in the popup bubble, but when I go to edit again, the old date shows up, so unless I change the date again, the old date will show up in the popup bubble.

Having a small problem when ive been playing with it. If i have 2 markers added and then i add a 3rd marker when i list elements with no filters so i see all makers if i try to del the 3rd marker it will del the 2nd marker and not the 3rd marker. Tried it a few times and keep getting the same thing, thought at first i was just clicking the wrong one on the list but seems to del the older markers on me and not the one i want deleted.

I've just installed!
This is, by no doubt, the best hack I've ever seen https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/05/32.gif !

Still making up your roadmap? Here is my wishlist https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/05/33.gif:

- Edit-function only for self-written/set elements. Users should not been allowed to edit other user's entries. Admins and Mods of course should be able! (I think this has been asked for already?)

- Upload-function for the image on the marker instead of "URL of the image for the marker"

- Each given item / possiblities to fill should be able to switch on and off for each category. Because I want to avoid, that users just use it for spamming their website for example. Also for some categories it makes no sense to add a date for example.

- A possibility in AdminCP to set width and height of the main map

- Answer-feature at the details page

- Possibility to specify an own template just for Google maps


And here some "bugs" - are they?

- The WYSIWYG-editor doesn't show an upload-function as it does in the 'normal' forum. Why? Is it a bug?

- The WYSIWYG-editor shows a button called 'Script-Eingabeaufforderung', which is not shown in the forum's WYSIWYG-editor. What is this for? Couldn't this be a problem with security?

- The smiley-list doesn't show correctly!

Sch?ne Gr??e,
Andreas

I haven't fully explored this great Mod yet, but here are some things that would be useful IMO:

1. Allow users to see both map and list mode together. (i.e. http://www.pbnation.com/fieldshow.php?state=pa)
2. Allow the addition of custom fields to elements ala the Links Directory Mod
3. Allow categories to have different sets of fields. For instance, say I want to have a category for events that has fields ABC, yet I want a location event to have fields DEF.
4. Allow everything to be searchable. (i.e. type in a zip to see everything in that locale)
5. Add address fields.
6. Allow admins to select any color they want for markers. Allow unlimited marker categories.
6. All in all I think the Links Directory Mod is a good roadmap, they have alot of good assets, yet they don't have a map.

Keep up the good work, I will be following your progress.

Is there a way to filter items on the main map? There is a way to filter items, but it only shows them on a list. I would like this option very much on the map. I have tons of categories, and and lots of points on each one, and would need a way to filter these out. (Too many points to display, if displaying everything.)

Thanks

You need to install both with all files as instructed in the guides if you want to run both.

Hello

I seem to have a bit of a problem now, All was fine at first, as in makers were showing up no problem and the pop ups, then i had a change of mind so deleted them to start again.

Now when i add a element the flag does not show up on the map also no pop up if you move the mouse about. The elements are there when you list elements and it zooms down to the right place on the map but no flag or pop up.

Now i am getting a error with Internet Explorer it says

in the hotspot members (if they have the permission) can add more than 1 marker. hotspot is intended to allow listings of locations and locations can be anything (landmarks, travel destinations, bars, ...)

Member edition is 1 marker 1 users that's it. It's intended to show the location of members and nothing more.

Stony..

Is it possible to add/change:

* the elements in listed in the bubble (like if I wanted to add... marital status, for example?

* the elements in the detailed section or link it somehow with user profile?

Currently, detail page kinda competes with members profile page... both have similar elements and purposes... to have a profile like page.

As you may know many people are making the profile into a myspace like thing. I think this could be one better---ie: have all the same elements PLUS be mapped on google!! AWESOME!!

I just there was a way to reduce the redundancy. :(

Nice MOD stony, but I could see, with additions to locations, events, landmarks, members, etc....the map could get pretty crowded and somewhat over-bearing. What would be nice to see would be clickable balloons in the legend that when clicked on, would then populate the map with only the information the user wants to see.

Just a thought.

Just a thought.

That was the initial architecture but as I need to set the markers asynchronous from XML with Javascript this becomes a very heavy load product as the markers file needs to be created.

However, I think I solved it for the next version as I'll create 1 file per category (1 file per usersgroup for the member edition) that should give me enough flex to build the marker filter directly.

I'm still looking for the best way to build the markers on the map. There is a way to use php but I'm not convinced that it's the best way to go as the script is written now. So I'm rewriting it.

Your second remark is in fact sort of present as the listings include a show on map function. I'll make the balloon open in the next version.

As HSE isn't really intended for Members (1 member can have N entries, member edition 1 member 1 entry) we need to discuss that somewhat.

[Annapurna]

As HSE isn't really intended for Members (1 member can have N entries, member edition 1 member 1 entry) we need to discuss that somewhat.Yes, I understand, 1 member can have N entries, but some of these entries should not be editable by other members.

eg.
1. Member X is organizing an event at a certain location and sets the marker. Member Y doesn't like this and edits the marker to a different place.
2. Member A has travelled around the world and sets multiple markers of his route. Some mean member B has fun changing his route.

And you never can be sure, that all members act correctly.

on the other hand some entries should be editable.

eg. Member C tells about his hike on top of a mountain and sets the marker. Unfortunately he made a mistake and has set it on a wrong peak. So member D has been on this mountain before, knows exactly where it is located and correct the marker.

Conclusio: some categories (like landmarks) should be editable by everyone, other catagories should only be editable by the user who has set it. Of course admins should be able to specify which category is editable by everyone and which is not!
And the categories should be able to be filtered. Let's say, default is:
by default no markers showing
people filter category "landmark" and only these would be shown
or people filter three catagories
So every user should be able to specify for himself.

I know that's a big wishlist, but this would be perfect for my forum!

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work. Can't appreciate enough!

Cheers,
Andreas

I just uploaded about 3700 locations to the database table and none of them are showing markers. The "List Elements" view works great for all of them. However I can't see any of my locations on the map. Is there a setting I need to change?

[cmrplusradio]

StonyArc,
Firstly, thanks for the excellent mod. But i seem to be having diffuculty setting mine up... Could you take a look and see where iu have gone wrong, as the pictures arent displaying and i dont know where to add the code for the navbar and it doesnt seem to be working very well at all!

I am willing to make a donation for your support.

[cmrplusradio]

the address is www.cmrplusradio.com/community/community/vbgooglemaphse.php if you want to take a look first...

[mhc1576]

You should change your Forum URL in vBulletin settings to:
http://www.cmrplusradio.com/community/community

Instead of http://community.cmrplusradio.com/

For navbar goto Styles and templates an select the style your using.
Find Navigation/Breadcumb templates and expand it, open the navbar.
In navbar find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>


After add:


<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbgooglemaphse.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[vbgooglemaphse]</a></td>

Superb mod Stonyarc. Very easy to install, setup and use.

The only problem I had was having to make sure that the admins IDs were in the config.php, and not just the usergroups. Until I'd done that, the other admins couldn't see the HSE menu in the admin area, but it was very easy to sort out.

Is it possible to run the maps under a different header than the forum's. My site uses tabs in the header for navigation and to show where the user is within the site. I'd really like to able to have a tab for 'maps' that will light up when the user is viewing vbgooglemap pages. Is it possible to have a new template as header2 within the main style and show it when users are using the maps facility?

[johnstires]

How long would it take to load 4000 markers? I added a bunch via mysql and they show up on the table view, but not in the map view.

[testing2]

How long would it take to load 4000 markers? I added a bunch via mysql and they show up on the table view, but not in the map view.

I have added about 25 so far and it is decidedly slower than when there were 5 markers. It now takes more than 25 seconds to load. I'm assuming your 4000 markers will take more than 10-20 minutes to load.

I think this mod is really awesome - but I'm wondering if it is possible to divide up the map or something so that only a partial amount of the markers will be shown at a time. The way I would see it would be if I can have separate map for each state and I can show a map with only the markers placed in that state or something... Or if the user can select the types of markers to be shown at a time instead of seeing them all at one once.

I love this! It should go great with my site. I have a site about New York City so I could put all the main places to go great idea :)

One quick quesiton though: Are we aloud to edit the templates? Becuase I'd like to fix one small thing?

http://www.movetonyc.com/forum/vbgooglemaphse.php

If you see with my Big Apple style where it says

Hello! :)

I cant wait to use this fantastic product but for the life of me I cant get the nav item to appear in the admin cp left nav.

Ive installed, uninstalled, installed, uninstalled; deleted and re-uploaded all the files several times; refreshed the admin; read and re-read the instructions; and even used the admin/index.php?do=buildbitfields suggestion from earlier in this thread, but nothing seems to work.

Please help! I feel like Im going crazy and missing something.

Is it possible to add/change:

* the elements in listed in the bubble (like if I wanted to add... marital status, for example?


I'm waiting for this too! I need to edit elements listed in Details and in the Bubble.

[4nmedia]

To add a marker is there anyway you could enter the address and it will mark it. The way it is now where you have to manually find each location makes it very hard to pinpoint locations.

[Kanustep]

4nmedia you can paste the latitude and longitude on the fields it work too.

[Kanustep]

It will be good to have a search engine or use vBulletin search engine so members could search for pinpoits. Otherwise to someone that has 1000 pinpoints the filters is not enough.

Invalid SQL:

AND... I just realized it's erroring out because there is a ' within the text, so I guess the code needs to be modified to allow for single quotes within strings :)

hi, great hack indeed!!

just a suggestion in case you are planning some improvement :)

it would be REALLY nice if we have the chance to

1) add an event in the calendar AND add the location at the same time
2) have a field in the user's profile to add the marker directly

i'm sorry if i don't explain myself in a correct language but i don't write in english so often to have a good grammar ;)

again, a REALLY nice hack :)

later

However, at the new server, I can not add any new point on the map.

Just showen the message:

[myplacidcasual]

1. Is it possible to increase the size of the google window (either by editing a file or a setting somewhere)

2. Any possibility that a later release will allow you check and uncheck categories making them either appear or disappear on the map.

3. Is it possible to search for a street.

[bada_bing]

Any update to when the geo version will be released or addon (ZIP CODE)

[TorGa3iGhT]

so I'm having a problem with this one...

i have two databases, each with a separate copy of vbulletin installed. I instlaled this onto my test server, and uploaded all the files to that corresponding forum folder titled "testvb3". After installing everything, I go to click on any of the 4 main links ([Show Main map][List Elements] [Add Elements] [About vbgooglemap] ), and it points to my /forum folder on my server rather than "testvb3", which is where all the files are.

is there somewhere I can change it to look in that folder? or was it default set to look for those files in /forum?

[TorGa3iGhT]

ok, nevermind....i found the $bburl in the templates to fix that problem, but it doesn't save any markers added, so I give up....there's some other template problems too, but yeah, it's a good idea, but messing all sorts of stuff up on my test server...

[bada_bing]

Any update to when the geo version will be released or addon (ZIP CODE)
Is there no more support for this hack?

[Freddofrog]

I have checked documentation and can't seem to find an easy method for adding and editing the marker types eg the colours. I did it in the database. Is there an easier way?

It's a great script Stony, congrats.

[Freddofrog]

Here's my suggestions for improving an excellent product ...

1. After adding an element the map redirects back to the main map. I think the redirect page should be a choice of either back to the Main Map, Add Elements or Forums. People who are adding elements do not want the hassle of returning from the main map all the time.

2. Users can't edit their markers - this should be changed. When I edit their markers my user name comes up on the marker which makes it look like I am stealing a member's glory. It would also be handy to be able to give marker-editing permission to certain members as per the forum threads.

3. Easily editable fields for the marker box would be handy. Many people would need a way to catalogue markers into country and states etc so they can be easily filtered when there is a lot of them. eg if someone only wants to see markers in Texas, USA. I think drop down menus in the marker box for countries and their states would be the only way to do this, a big job but a huge step forward in functionality.

Would be keen to hear if you are installing these features - I was considering employing someone to make the changes, as author of the script do you think it would be possible to make such changes easily?

Matt

Installed on vBulletin 3.6.4 and working great. Thanks for this great vB addition! Question, What is the difference between "HSE Full View" and "HSE Unapproved View" and can different settings for a map be set for each? For instance I would like for Admins/Moderators to see the About vbgooglemap HSE but not visitors/members as there is an appeal for a donation there. Is the only way to eliminate that to make a donation towards a brand free version or can that link be a usergroup setting? Thanks!

I have a small problem with this mod.

I installed it last night on 3.6.4 and it works perfectly, but it seems to have broken the admin panels open close panel controls and I am now getting a javascript ajax error when I try to open any of the panels.

The error is:

fetch_object is not defined

Can anyone help fix this for me?

I'm sure this is directly related to this mod as everything was working perfectly before I added this to the forum. The vbgooglemaphse control panel is also the first one at the top of all the panels which could be why the controls on all of the panels isn't working if this is the cause of what is breaking it.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

This is an amzing mod but I have a complete noob question. What I'd like to use it for is to mark the locations of restaurants, museums, parks, etc. in my area and that would work much better if the map and markers were address-based as opposed to lattitude/longitude. How difficult would it be to change the mod to work that way?
