S u p p o r t ??????

Apologies for the delay in support, everyone. We forgot to add this mod to our Subscriptions, so we did not get alerts for new support threads.

This is exactly why we prefer to handle support over at our own forums - you can visit the support forums for this mod here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=204

Depending on the server, and your browser: Anywhere between not long and very long :)

Please post feature requests in our support forums: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=204
We cannot look over vBulletin.org threads when planning new versions due to the fact that these threads grow quite large over time :)

Did you remember to add the hash key before the hex value?
#000000 = correct
000000 = wrong

There is no paid version of this mod :)

Can you please provide screenshots of your vBulletin Options configuration?

Also, some members may not be displayed if their IP address cannot be resolved. That is a limitation of PHP that we cannot work around.


Fillip

Perfekt -.-
Wohne in Nigeria????

Edit:Gel?scht und andere geholt ;)

Unfortunately, you're incorrect ... ;)

The field accepts entries without a # prefix and works fine for all HTML Hex color codes except "black" or Hex 000000

In fact, if you put a # prefix in front of any Hex code, it truncates the last HEX character, screwing up the color.

For example.

Using FCFF00

If you put a # in front as you suggest, it becomes #FCFF0, cutting off the last HEX 0 character because it counts the # as one of the 6 character input numbers required.

Looking through the documentation for the pin colors, if you want the pin color to be back, don't enter any color (leave blank) in the setting, Pin Color that is the standard default color.

Installed today. Looks right but I have issues. I read everything here. Users over 14000, Google Chrome, server loaded as usually. How long need to wait to update (approximately?) After few hours showed less than 100 locations. Is it possible to show the most users on map? I know some IP might not have been resolved.

Second issue. Some nicknames changing when I update a website. I have 2 users from Vienna. They change each other after every click refreshing. Why can't be 2 nicknames at the same time if they live in the same location?

Hardly any of our members are showing up, at the moment. Would it be possible to have an option in the ACP settings to set a default location for members whos IP cannot be resolved please?

Also wondered if this is something I have setup wrong or because of the IP thing, I have a some members who are in a different usergroup but they are also in registered users, could this cause issues if both groups are displayed on the map?

Thanks

Tom

It seems like not working properly. Still the same locations after 24h...

Support?

You can manually run the "Member Map Geolocation" scheduled task to update locations.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

Please post feature requests in our support forums, as we cannot take feature requests posted on vBulletin.org into consideration for future versions as they will get lost in time :)

No, that won't cause any issues.


Fillip

It would be great if it can communicate with the "Location" in the profile fields.

That's impossible, as users can enter anything they wish in that field. If you enter "Middle Earth", what exactly is Google Maps supposed to do with that? That's not a valid latitude / longitude coordinate set ;)


Fillip

"Impossible" is a word that should be used sparingly. It's not impossible, of course -- you merely ignore entries which you can't resolve.

The biggest issue, as I mentioned before, is that you have only a binary choice of showing all 130,000 members (server crash!) or just those online right now (not very useful). It definitely needs some filtering mechanisms.

How many people do you have on your average forum that input either complete, valid street addresses or valid Lat/Long coords into their Location fields? :p


Fillip

I don't have an average forum. Neither does anyone else! But I do have valid lat/longs from a previous mod (3.x, unfortunately) for over 10K of my members, so I'd suggest a reasonable number.

That's not what I meant, I meant it when you entered this page is locates your place and you automatically updating the field "Location".

Ah, that could potentially be intensive.

Feature requests should be posted in our forum though :) Thanks!


Fillip

i cant find any option about member map and i cant find any setting
where i find the setting in ACP ? :(

and if i click membermap only map showing not showin any members why

Try adding yourself to Super Administrators, and give it at least 24 hours before you start noticing members appearing on the map :)


Fillip

what is the trick to view this ??
I am an admin, cannot get any higher..
but yet it tells me I don't have the correct perms ??

I see no setting's anywhere to set permissions

Did you try setting the permissions in the Usergroup Manager?

Fillip

had to turn the 'can opt out' to yes 'view map' was already yes

Working great. I love it.

Working great under VB4.2.0 PL3

Is it possible to add an option to map all users having at least 1 post?

Thanks a lot
Eros

I don't think that's possible at this time, sorry. If you want to suggest it as a new feature, I'd urge you to post it in our forum - suggestions made here at vBulletin.org will be lost in time since we don't have any issue tracking systems here.

Fillip

How detailed does the map go into? Is it zoomable (assume it is) to the point of showing street addresses? What geo-location data is used to determine the map location?

It is zoomable yeah.

The registration IP is used, although members can also manually re-deploy their pin in case the IP provides an inaccurate location.

Fillip

Cool. Thank you for the quick response.

I dont understand how this mod works...

I have installed since one week and my map appears empty.
Im using vBulletin 4.2.0 version and have 125.000 members.

My admin group config:
Can View Member Map: Yes
Excluded From Display: No
Can Edit Own Location: Yes
Can Opt Out: Yes

Already have run Member Map Geolocation manually... but map still empty.

What Im doing wrong?

Thanks!

Do you have GeoIP installed on your server?

Fillip

Member Map v1.1.1
Feature: "Minimum Posts" option to limit users appearing on the map
Change: Changed the Branding display method to inject itself into the copyright footer (underneath vBulletin copyright) instead of the page footer.
Change: Changed the Branding Free Key to a more secure key.

Fillip

Sorry for the novice question, where do I set this option?:confused:

Well I showed up and put me in Niagara, and I'm in PA. Also can't see the text link in the box. How do you change it?

Manage Usergroups :)

IP lookup isn't an exact science, it will show the location of the data center that was granted your IP address.

You can change it by dragging and dropping your pin :)


Fillip

Strange, if i am NOT logged in i can see the map and user. If i am loggend in as admin i see not map and no user :(

any idea? The Usergroup has the right settings.

best
eric

This has been handled @ our site :)


Fillip

IS there a way to find yourself if the map has you in the wrong spot?

I am having a hard time finding the place to set the CSS for the backcolor of the user popup box. I'm getting white text in a white box.

Can someone point me in the right direction.

There's a per-usergroup setting to be able to drop your own pin :)

You can append a style attribute to the surrounding <div> in the dbtech_membermap_info template :)
