When i first did the vBmap upgrade, I used my old key right away and it didn't like it right from the start. I tried several new keys, but can't figure out what site name the API is looking for. I tried my site name, the IP, sitename/, IP/, sitename/public_html, IP/public_html - nothin'... (vbMap is in the root of my html_public folder)

In the vbgooglemap_display_map

To the width you want

and


to

That should fix that.

so it should be your basic URL you should enter on google.com and don't add a trailing /

http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

So for avatar support you need to store the avatars in the database.

I'll add an option to the backend to turn avatar support on or off.

Sorry to jump in with all the others at once.......

I am not showing current users or zoom level on my map and the username isn't linking to the profile.... I re upped all the files.... I know I have probably screwed up something, but just want to be sure it is just me....

Your template looks wrong.
NOTE:

IF YOU ARE RUNNING VERSION 1.0.3 AND YOU CHANGED TEXT DIRECTLY IN THE TEMPLATES YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THE MAP ON FIRST LOAD. YOU SHOULD REVERT THE TEMPLATES AFTER INSTALLING.

Mine is working just fine.

Very nice upgrade. Thank You.
FYI
I noticed that some of my users had been promoted to moderator since they added their Map data. I went into the table to change their user group number manually there, so I am "fixed", but is there a away to automatically pull that instead of storing it? Or maybe a clean up script?

Damn... I reverted the templates as per instructions prior to my post... now I uninstalled the product.... the templates were removed completely.... reinstalled.... and same thing :( I hate it when I run out of talent! any other suggestions?

I am running vb 3.5.0 .... could this be the issue?

NEVERMIND........ I didn't see one of the templates..... works great now.... thanks for the help!

I realized I followed stonyarc's directions for changing the text color in the display map template..... so now it is working, but i am back to white on white with the username and I have a black box with black text for the description. I tried to follow the old directions to change the text color after reverting, but the template is different and I can't figure it out.....

In Stonyarc's instruction post with those previous instructions, he stated the text color would be an admincp adjustable entry, but I don't see anything like that in the new version....... Stonyarc?

First, Nice hack!

ok, I'm also have the issue with the avatar not displaying, but not in IE only. Firefox just eliminates the red X.

I'm wondering if there's an ability to allow for multiple locations for each user. I'm not really using this for a "Hi, I'm located here." thing. I'm using it so people can post various locations they've been.

Thanks!

all my users get a no permission error when trying to view and in the ACP there is no new postbit for googlemap permissions.

please help/

should be in the usergroups themselves....near the bottom maybe of their permissions.


omg the display pic of the map is gone lmao!! is it being updated?

it's there, for some reason the bit field did not upload.

try to reupload it and make sure the markers.xml in the forum root has been chmod to 777....other than that i think i can't help...have to wait for someone who actually knows more.

Mine works flawless, got one question though, for the members to show on the map do they have to enter their info or will it take the members online from the forum's who's online.

That's because you changed styles in the previous version.

To fix that revert the templates and reenter your style changes in the vbgooglemap_display_map

using the available css

If they go to their entry and click update the information should refresh

Make sure you upload all files also the bitfield_vbgooglemap.xml to /includes/xml

The view permissions should be automatically set.

if you add/import product-vbgooglemap.xml make sure overwrite is to yes.

Check if the bitfield xml is there in the folder.

If so you can force an update of the bitfields
/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

The permissions should be available
Go to admincp / Usergroups / Usergroup Manager to set the usergroup permission. To edit the permissions select ?Edit Usergroup? and click go.

Hope this helps.

For privacy reasons the user has to set their own location.

This is not a version that plots the who's online.

I can make one but I think someone already has created something called worldmap that should cover that.

totally awesome! Works great here from the upgrade can't wait for the hotspot version as that can be used with our events and meetings :D well done!

Having the same problem but when i click on the show map button after i get the error the map loads and shows all my markers on it. I just allways get the error the first time it loads the page.

Hello Stonyarc,

I have been changing the colors in the above mentioned area of the template....

Changed the .gmtext color to red and that works great.

but in the .gmballoon, I have been having troubles. changing the background around the text works fine, but when I change the second part ( I assume this is the text color) "color:#000000;" to red, nothing happens. When I mouse over, it changes to the color from vb, but no matter what I set this to, it stays white.

Also, I don't see a way to change the background for the .gmtext part....
I added "background: #ffffff;" into the .gmtext area, but it only changed the area immediately around the text. there is still a black square inside the balloon. I am sorry if I am such a moron and I have again run out of talent.....

here is how the template is now set on My Map

my changes are highlighted in green

<!--

.gmballoon
{
background: #ffffff;
color: #FF0000;
font: 10pt Verdana, Trebuchet MS,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.gmtext
{
background: #ffffff;
font-size:8pt;
width:auto;
color:#FF0000;
font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet MS,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
word-wrap: break-word;
display:block;

}
-->

Hello JT,

The problem is your link

http://forum.teamevil.org/VBGooglemap.php

should be

http://forum.teamevil.org/vbgooglemap.php

Everything is lower case now.

Change it and it will be fine.

Converted to 2.0.0 with no problem.
Thanks stonyarc!!! Great work.

PS now waiting for hotspot edition. :)

I have a user who was a mod, but is no longer. The googlemap gives him a mod-colored pin. Is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks, Sarah

If the users goes to his entry and clicks update the marker will be correct again.

Thanks

Release 2.0.1 will be on tonight with some little extras

My old key is not working. I uninstalled 1.03. Then installed 2.0.

Thanks so much :) Didnt even think to try that

And thanks alot for the awsome work on this i love it!

Thanks for that notice! I am going to wait till 2.0.1 then. :)

Edit: When did you release it? :D Last time I checked we got 2.0.0 and that was 2 minutes ago! :D


One quick question: Am I now able to change the filename without breaking everything? :)

stonyarc....is there a fix for vbadvance in this update...not pressuring just asking....

2.0.1 is on right now.

In what way do you want to change the filename?

I installed it, but my 1.03 still shows up and my map key doesn't work for 2.01

I checked and it was running on your website.

I haven't been able to identify the problem on vba.

I need to install it on my test server. In the code I don't see anything that might be causing that problem except maybe the window.onload javascript.

Do you have any other image maps running on your vba site????

As indicated in the PDF you may need to revert the templates.

The templates to revert are included in the list.

It's indicated in very big RED letters :cool:

as for you map key: as indicated in the PDF you may need to re-enter it in the options

stonyarc,

It works now.

New problem: I changed the zoom setting in admin 3, but it is still stuck at 1 on the map.

Flawless upgrade 1.0.3 -> 2.0.1. Thanks.

Bob

What browser? Did u user the drag controls? Please also post a URL

stonyarc,
