I'm seeing this problem too, otherwise a great mod.

I installed it and it works well but when I added an entry and approved it from admincp, my entry doesn't show!
I went to "list users" and click on "show on map" and still nothing happens!

I just upgraded -- I love this hack and so do my members. Thanks stonyarc. :cool:

I had the missing pin images too, had the drop shadows but no pins. Even though I double checked that all files had uploaded; had all the usergroups set to their colors; and had group and file permissions and cron jobs where they were supposed to be.

I fixed it by uploading all the files again, and then then my pins appeared.

I'd also love to see an option to suppress the display of certain user groups. I don't want my members to know how I have them all categorized ;)

Same.. as stated above. Would be nice if this was addressed. Having the link there might as well just be a link to the googlemap. :/

Very nice! ;)

I've installed this on my site however, when I click on the Googlemap Me link on the navbar, I get a message saying I do not have permission.

I have not touched the permissions since the install. I've entered my map key.

Just confused on this one....any help is appreciated.

UPDATE

Yup, it's official....I'm a dummy.... All is well and we are enjoying this awesome mod!

Thanks for sharing this one with us. ;)

Hey guys,

I found that my postbit was getting a little cluttered. To fix this, one of the housekeeping items I did was to replace the standard postbit "Location:" phrase variable with the one for the Googlemap link.

1. In postbit or postbit_legacy find:

replace the vbphrase:

With this phrase for the map link:

The resulting code is this:

It now looks like this:

:cool:


EDIT: I also edited the phrase "vbgooglemapme_findme" to say "Location" instead of "My Location"

hmmm... but how to get it to display the word "Location" if they haven't added a point to the map yet....

Or better yet have the Location link actually go to that persons location so it wasn't basically just a link to your google map!!

;)

This problems never going to be addressed. Grrr

i have uninstalled this at the end as there is no help or support to go through step 7 onwards. and thanks for the support you given me in pm but i don't think this is not for me :) thanks anyway...

We had the same thing, we have those nice little icons for msn, aim, etc.. and wanted to add a nice image for map, instead of that text.

What to do:
go to ur forum-database.
Find in table phrases (or vb3_phrases, whatever u have) the record with the varname: vbgooglemapme_findme
If u found that record, edit the text from: My location to something like: <img src="images/globe.gif" border=0 title="My location" />
Save it and u're done there...

U'll notice nothing changed in the forum yet.. That's because that weird cashe or w/e isn't updated.
To update this, go in ur adminpanel to search phrases and search for <img src="images/globe.gif" border=0 title="My location" />
Then press the edit-button.
And after that click the save-button. (nothing changed, just press save)

From now on u'll see the image ;)

PS, instead of image, u can use other html, like <button onclick=...>My location</button> if u want a button ;)


If u can't access ur db, u can edit all ur html in teh postbit-template of course..




We also noticed, that when u add ur location, and use html, like <br /> it parses it all wrong, and u won't see ur icon on them map ;)

:bunny:






Now we got the following problem :confused:
When u added urself it goes fine..
But when u want to edit ur location, the following things are missing/empty:
- The map to zoom in with is gone :confused:
- The BB-code text-fields are empty.

Anyone got a solution ?
I think it is in the vbgooglemapme_display_yourlocation template...
