Thank you for your Tip with the vbgooglemapme.php!
While copying, the ftp-programm creates an emtpty file! I don't know why but I copied the file again via ssh connection an now the file iss filled an the Mod works!!

Thanks fpr helping!!!

Great Mod :up:

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I've looked high and low in this thread for an answer and can't seem to find it.

I installed this mod without problems, and have had several people post their markers on it just fine. I noticed, however, that even though I changed the usergroup status of a few members, the color change wasn't reflected on their map icon. Looking into the vbulletin control panel, I found that (to the best of my knowledge) this because the cron script hasn't been running properly. I set it up just as the instructional .pdf explained, but when I attempt to run the script, I get this:

I installed it and it works fine. No problems at all.

It was working completly fine for me as well and all the 13 files are in there and you can click on them and it shows there location no problem, But now as of this morning nothing shows on the main map no markers at all. All the data is there. It must of just did this on the unlucky # 13.. Any idea's

Make sure that no one has linked to a picture when they have added themselves to the map.

Im not totally sure what you mean, but the first person I pulled up had a link to somthing in googlemap and I removed it and it worked.

So you have to add yourself then go back and add a picture later?

Confused?

RON

You can add a image or avatar to your Pin............but if anyone does then the makers wont show up on the map.

It is a Bug that needs fixing but sadly the author StonyArc does not seem to come round here anymore :confused:

But i really wish he did, and heres hoping he will or someone will fix it for us :up:

But i see some of your pins have Pictures on them and they still show :eek:

So not quite sure what to think now :confused:

Its not actually a bug, you can attach images to the entires. The only problem is every now and then someone posts a pathway to an image that the modification doesn't like.

When you remove it, the rest are fine.

Mine works great too

Hmm, thats weird. Mabie it would be better to turn the image part off somehow to prevent this, Any Ideas?

Has anyone else has problems with running the cron?

I had some issues with it as well. I also changed the colour of those markers but they never actually changed on the map itself.
My problem, however, magically cured itself somehow...

Are you sure that the vbgooglemapme_cron.php file really is in that directory? If not, upload it. You can find it in the zip file containing the mod.

yoyoyoyo: Please stop telling everyone its not working when in fact it is. Yes, it DO got some bugs in it, but nothing that cant be ironed out quite easily.

Hmm...I reuploaded everything again, and now it works. Thanks!

I am trying to get my pins to show up and it is driving me nuts. I have read about 100 of these post to find the answer.

I am running the map.

golfum, your SQL Server has to be at least v4.1.22

Agreed, I'm having this trouble as well.

I killed the image tab all together and fixed the display issue that had to do with the small overview map.

See working version here - http://www.arizonaquads.com/forum/vbgooglemapme.php

For now, if you don't have any image problems (invalid chars such as &) but still your map is broken, try this.

In vbgooglemapme.php, find this on line 107
and replace with this
That kept the small overview map and fixed the display issue.

I'll post back tomorrow how to remove all the info about images if people want.

hello,

all is working verywell and now today they are no PINS.. The Marker is is there and the rights are the same like the last days and weeks.

What can be the reason for such problem. I have made no change on the Server or Software sinve weeks.


it seems, the map dont start loading the PINS, the list of user with all information ist also there.

Like Darkdiver, my vbgooglemapME has been working just fine for several months and then out of the blue yesterday it stopped working. I thought it may have been somethng with the computer I was using, but several users have confirmed it's the site and not a PC configuration thing.

The error I get (down at the bottom left in IE) is:
Line: 537
Char: 3
Error: Invalid Pointer
Code: 0
URL: http://www.v8rx7forum.com/vbgooglemapme.php

Anyone have any ideas?

Did you try what I said above? You are getting the same error that I posted a fix for.

OK Thanxs, no my ap is back, but still have the problem with some pins. I think i still have that problem with the image.

is there some help so remove the image tag once for all or ignore in the code?

Regards
Eric

This modification executes a query for every post being displayed.

That means: If you are viewing a thread with 40 posts per page => 40 additional queries executed.

This should be fixed ASAP.

I also suggest to use the available template hooks instead of instructing users to change templates manually.

I'm back again. It's been working fine for a few months and now once again no pins. I've made the usual amendments such as; Removed ability for users to add an image, checked the Markers.xml brings up no errors and searched all database entry's for an '&' char........ but still no pins!

I've got over 200 pins in place but for the last fews days none have appeared :confused:
My Advise: DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD!

just go into Markers.xml and find the offending picture - it's pretty easy, then your pins will show.

No need to warn people not to install.

You appear to have not read my thread properly Terry....
I've been using this Mod for some months and have even paid the 30EUR for the pleasure of a Brand Free version. However I've never received a single line of support from the creator (Stonyarc) of this bug ridden Mod, hence my advice not to install it.

After installing this mod, making some minor changes, the pins appear sometimes? If I edit my location and then update the information, the pins appear, sometimes.

I'm not sure where to go from here. I've checked to see if there are any offending pimage entries in the googlemapme table in the db and have even deleted all the entries in that file to make sure, to no avail.

I have checked the markers.xml file for extraneous errors but it appear fine and since the problem appears to be random I am probably going to uninstall this mod.

Hello,

we have the same problem: all the pins are not viewing! At last week, we saw all pins :o(
This problem we have in vbgooglemapme and vbgooglemaphse.


greets
bonnie

Hello.

No ideas what's happen? No answers?

Regards
bonnie

PS: We have our problem dissolved! In the general setting for vbgooglemapme (admincp) we change
"Enable or disable the small map control (disable for better performance)" from 'YES' to 'NO'. Now we can see all members again! The same procedure in vbgooglemaphse.

is there some way to set 5 location per user ?

I have uploaded all files, chmod markers.xml and when adding a new marker I get the following.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction!

If Im not mistaken that means that youre using a too old MySql version.

Thats what I thought. So I spoke to my host who confirmed its currently running SQL 4.1.22

So, as far as I know, this should work ok. I have installed, uninstalled. Im now at a loss. A real real shame. I loved this mod, shame I cant get it to work.

Ill have to click uninstall :(

Hi, I am trying to install this and have a stumbling block. I have the pdf instructions up and I can't figure out this step.

#7 Adding the link to the navbar.
I copied the version for only registered users at the very bottom of the navbar template. The instructions don't specify WHERE in the template this bit should be added in so I put it at the very bottom after all the normal stuff.

I have never edited a template before and am a little nervous.

I wouldnt bother. Most people have given up on this mod as there is precisely zero support, once you run into a problem your pretty much on your own.

Id Go with the google map API integration.

Thank you!

Will it work with 3.7, too?

i want to manually add many locations in makers.xml to see in googlemaps is it possible? thank

can help me please thanks and happy holidays

I've disabled it for now...I sure hope StonyArc comes back, the people really seemed to like this mod on my forum. :(
