Hi guys,

I noticed that this mod is not supported. It would be perfect for my forum.
Are there any problems that have occurred in installations at all? If anyone could give me a bit more info that would be great with regards to the safety of installing an unsupported mod as i am new to VBulletin.

Many thanks

There is basically no installation - it's a simple template modification
And it works fabulously - I like it very much ;)

I just love this simple modification!! Thanks a lot 4x4 Mecca :D

I would also like to use this on my MEMBERINFO page, but this seems a little more complicated. Any adea how I could achieve that?

Oh, and one minor thing: better to use $vbphrase[location_perm]: in stead of Location: in your template mod. ;)

An issue I'm having is that it's not parsing the spaces as %20 so when it tries to link it links to:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=gun lake, MI
Instead of:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...n%20lake,%20MI

I tried this on my new forum I am making... I live in Washington, PA but the google map shows up wrong..

It gives this URL: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Washington, PA
When I am over here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...gton,+PA+15301

If anyone is having trouble, and wants me to help, I would need admin access to test edit the template. PM me if you have created an account and I'll see if I can fix it.

Its not a bug in your script, its because in Pennsylvania theres a few dozen "Washington's" it just picks the wrong one unless I include the zip code....

I thought it had to do with the field2 being in quotes, not apostrophe's, like this
OLD CODE

Code:

<if condition="$post['field2']">

<div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=$post[field2]" title="Find $post[username] on Google Maps!" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/globe.gif" alt="Find $post[username] on Google Maps!" border="0" /></a> $post[field2] 

</div></if>

New Code

Code:

<if condition='$post['field2']'>

<div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: <a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=$post[field2]' title='Find $post[username] on Google Maps!' target='_blank'><img class='inlineimg' src='images/globe.gif' alt='Find $post[username] on Google Maps!' border='0' /></a> $post[field2] 

</div></if>

I just replaced all the " with '

I searched google maps for http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Washington+pa and it shows up
