I'm also having this problem. I have a new users usergroup where people have to post a couple times before they get promoted into the registered users usergroup... the promotions work fine but the markers and the list are not updated. I rebuilt the bitfields just in case that had something to do with it but nothing changed, I ran the cron and I even edited the members' entry without changing anything and saved it.

I haven't tried reinstalling the product, is that the only next option?

There are so many pages on this thread and I just installed this.

I am not seeing a balloon for myself, unless I click on "Your entry" and then i see my ballon, I dont see it on the larger map

Any ideas?

Hello,


I installed (again) but cant figure out how to add locations.

I add myself, as admin and registered user. But i dont see any balloon.

What doe a user have to do to get his location on the map?

Here is my site: http://www.formula1forum.eu/forum/vbgooglemapme.php

No location balloons i guess?? maybe its my browser.


EDIT: Seems like its works. Thank u.

I just looked at your page and i see a ballon

Great modification! I installed it and got it working.

Initially my markers were not showing up. I followed the PDF to the step, so I viewed the source inside the compiled .php file and noticed all the missing images had the same name: mm_20_.png. In the Administration Panel -> VBGooglemapME -> ME Usergroup Marker, I had to set the Markers before anything would show up. There were no default colors loaded. This might be something to address.

I got the postbit working and now I'm making changes to it. I failed initially because I wasn't editing the legacy postbit.

I had a few suggestions / requests:
1) Show avatars by default.
2) Change the maps' tooltips. I have never played with Googlemaps API before, but I've seen a few sites that work a little better, such as this one, where it automatically could show the username when moused-over, then clicking could reveal the current menu. The reason I dislike the current tooltips is because if entries are close together, you either must click the (X) to close them or find another one far enough away to let you change the selected marker, rather than simply mousing-over to see who's who. I hope this makes sense.
3) Add a warning to the map (maybe configurable in the panel) that tells people that it could take 10 minutes to show new entries on the map. This was an easy enough hack though.
4) Have an option to show usersonline (as in the main forum listing) below the map or its key.

Thanks again for a great plugin, I'm going to play with it extensively.

Edit - realized the default zoom (when clicking the postbit option) is 10, and it's hardcoded into the XML
Edit 2 - does the color of the marker actually change if a user is offline?

This is indeed a wonderful hack and so far so good it appears to be working but with one slight problem.

I have set the legend to show admin, supermod, and registered usergroup makers and have switched the others to zero. In doing so the rejected usergroups were all assigned the yellow marker. Admin was assigned red, supermod was assigned green and registered was assigned light blue.

When I go to re-place my marker it shows up as red, however on the main map it shows up as yellow (ie not one of the visible usergroups). Why is this?

Love the mod. Obviously well thought out and packaged. The marker colors are messing with me a tad as well if someone ever had a secondary usergroup or was in a different group.

Great hack although I am not in need to use it as most of my members are from the same country

In both vbgooglemapme_set_yourlocation and vbgooglemapme_display_yourlocation find:
Replace with:

Have installed and it seems to work but cannot get the markers to show and it doesn;t seem to work on a mac.

Any advice?
