ok.. read 30 pages.. How can I change the background color of the balloon?

Its late.. spelling stinks.. Help...

i would love to see such a map combined with a citylocator. Unfortunately GoogleMaps are not very detailled yet for germany, so there's not really much sense for us when using this.

Besides from that, great work.

i found a bug in this today, though i'm not sure it's something that is fixable..

a user with an apostrophe in his username tried adding himself to the map, and it caused a db error. obviously the sql is reading it as an extra beginning quote, without an end..

can this be fixed?

Fix posted earlier in this thread...

Hmm,

I am having a problem with IE. When I add an entry in IE, it doesn't show at all but it does in FireFox.

I installed this and it's working pretty well. My use is regional and I took advantage of the admin configurable default lat/longs and zoom level. However, several users reported problems when trying submit their locations where they were presented with a "blank map" from which to select from. What was happening is that the regional zoom level remained constant (10) but the apparently uninitialized lat/longs must point to some world center (0,0?) in the middle of the ocean. At a default zoom level of "10", all you got was a pale blue map. Users could however, zoom out, recenter, then zoom back in again but that wasn't very intuitive.

I made the following change that gets the default lat/long from the options before a new submitter is presented with the map. This will probably only be useful for those that default to a zoomed in region but it's currently working for me. Perhaps some consideration could be given to this problem in future releases (for which I'm anxiously waiting).

In VBGooglemap.php find this:
Before add:

Thanks for a great hack!

Installed easily and apparently working flawlessly, so far.

You might want to make Starbug's changes (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=160) standard for the next upgrade; the black text works much better.

Thanks! Great job.

Can you post a link??

Thanks for the tip.

I'll put it in the next standard

Any hints? When and what will be added to the next version?

Thanks again for the great hack. My members love it. :)

Hi all

I have installed VbGoogleMap and I have attivated a key for my domain but when I point my browser on GoogleMap I don't see the Map and I can't write in latitude and longitude, How it's possibile?
How Can I resolve my problem please?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Very thanks

Did you go into the admincp and enter your googlemap activation key in the vbgooglemap setup parameters?

Pk, I have this installed but for some reason the markers are not showing up. I have cleared my browser, refreshed & everything but still nothing. I'm sure it's just something I'm missing. Any ideas?

Installed, working fine with 50 users already :rolleyes:

Thanks for great addon!!!

Yes I have enter the activation key in the VbGoogleMap but when I point my browse on link I don't see the Map!
I don't think because it's don't work....

Link of my Googlemap is : http://www.p2psin.it/forum/VBGooglemap.php

Thanks all

I went to your site and was able to see a marker on your googlemap. You can try refreshing the cached xml file by viewing the xml file in your browser (in your case: http://www.forums.thevillagestl.com/markers.xml), clicking refresh and then returning to your map. It's probably just a caching issue.

I have the same problem. An no, that does not fix it. Others that have tested it for me have seen nothing as well.

How about privacy concerns? Can I customize this, so only users of a certain usergroup (s) can view the map's user detail?

This is a cool mod

I was hoping Stonyarc could give us an update on a new release with the hotspots enabled. My users are really wanting this and it would be an extremely useful tool. I thought perhaps I could add this myself but I'm concerned about future compatibility issues with anything I add now. It looks simple enough to create new entries in the database with hotspot locations but there are issues with userids, pin colors, etc. I'd want to make sure that any thing I do with regards to the hotspots would be compatible with any future versions.

Any updates, advice, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you so much stonyarc for this extension. You've done a great job!

I just have one little problem with it that I can't seem to figure out. When I change the map over to either Satellite or Hybrid mode the zoom level changes from the default (15) to 17 which makes the map repeat itself. Do you have any idea why this would be happening and how I could go about fixing it.

Thanks again.

You did a very nice job 'stonyarc', and thanks for that. I install it in my forum and it works fine, but my forum language is one of the right to left languages, and the controls field comes in left to right direction. I tried to fix this by adding this code:

To "VBGooglemap.php" file. But it did not work.

If any one have solution for that I will be appreciated.

I had a map on my IPB forum before I switched to vBulletin. I was really sad about losing my usermap, so I was extremely excited when I saw this! I have already installed it, it went great, and was super easy!

Thanks so much!

So, where are we now..? Are there any updates with the long-awaited new features?

My members really want something like this. The suggested a similar feature without knowing this one exists! :)

any idea when 1.4 will be out? looks like a cool mod ... how hard is it to change the name of the php file from vbgooglemaps.php to say maps.php or atlas.php?

This is too cool.

Apostrophe's don't work by the way. For example if you want to say "Troy's Place" it shows up as "Troy s Place".

I created a blue box at the top called "Meeting Place Finder" to take you to the google map. Does this look ok?

How do we extend the allowable characters to more than 30 for the marker text for our entry? I'd rather ask than make a mistake.

This is a great mod.

Is there any way for users to add more than 1 entry?

I installed it. I love it. I wish though that you can default to the satillite or hybrid map.

How do we edit markers or delete markers placed on the map?

Thanks =)

If we delete a user who entered a marker on the map, does the marker get deleted also automatically? And if not, how do we get rid of the marker?

Anyway of linking the username in the bubble to the Public Profile ?

Yes. This simple modification is in this thread somwhere in the previous 31 pages.

Installed the mod on my forum. The installation was easy enough except for knowing where to insert the extra code into the Navbar template (I cannot stress how little I understand code :o )

Really looking forward to release 1.4 as adding places of interest with comments would be a real boon to the members of my forum but you have done a great job and cannot be congratulated enough. So whenever 1.4 is ready will be soon enough.

Thanks again.

Installed great! Everything functions on both http://www.ravensrealm.net & http://www.theflyfishingforum.com

I am trying to figure out how to see whos marker is whos. They show up but doesnt say whos they are.. hmmmm In other words, no ballon,

Clicked install.

This is my contribution to this awesome mod...


All bug fixes mentioned in the last 33 pages can now be found in the attached text file.

:squareeyed:

My contribution. :p

That mod is here:

That's in my text file above. :)

Hey anyone else getting mega large profile balloons? SEE ATTACHED PIC. I didn't have these before. :ermm:


EDIT - Oh it's an IE 6.02 bug. Works in Firefox. Anyone else get this?

I can't get this to work on my dev forum. Where in navbar should I put the code? If I go straight to /VBGooglemap.php I can see the map. This hack is ideal for a global project I want to run on our forum, if I can get it to work.

Thanks for any help.
