maybe this has already been suggested, but could you make it so we can add locations that aren't users (like say the location of the server) or allow certain usergroups to have more than one entry?

As ig@r said,

There is a full version in dev now.

The link he gave you is for you all to participate in design of the features.

I find it amazing the audacity of some people

Just as if they created it themselves they not only bluntly removed the reference to my work but even replaced it with their own.

Some people wonder why coders start to go commercial.

Cheeky f.......g a........s that is blatantly taking this pi@@

I have 151 users on my googlemap page here, yet refreshing the page doesn't always show all 151 users. Additionally, a former super mod is still listed as such on the map (Rody; he's in the Netherlands), and none of my regular mods are shown for some reason.

There is no direct link yet so the users has to click update on his entry once if the usergroup changes.

As for the moderators, they should be mod as primary usergroup.

Can you please check?

Are they not listed as normal users?

I do have them as a primary usergroup, yet I still don't see them listed. Also, is there any idea about how come refreshing the page sometimes doesn't show all users? I sometimes don't even see myself there (I'm in Rhode Island), so I dunno if it's a glitch in the program or the browser I use (firefox).

My supermods managed to get around it by simply updating their entries. My imported admin usergroup (imported from UBB) are still listed as normal members, though.

Starting from 150 + the script does take some time to place all the markers. The faster your server the faster it should go.

But there is a clear volume warning in the main page.

Can the mods see their "your entry" page and they taken to the update or insert page?

Can you please check what ID your moderator group is ?

okay i have a request or two....

when ballons are right on top of eachother is there a way to distinguish them or rather can there be one? ( i have a problem with this lol obviously. my forum states 8 users but only 7 balloons. finally noticed a slightly darker and wider edge to a balloon. have to click just right to bring the member up.)

maybe a solution would be to list the members somewhere or the member groups and then the members like a drop down menu or something...then when you click on the member their balloon will glow or blink or something crazy to get your attention....

Mine never seems to show anyone, I let it sit and load for a while too.

I can see myself when I click on Your Entry, but only then.

Mini,

Please make sure you upload all files again !!!

http://www.mini2.com/forum/markers.xml doesn't seem to exist

Changing the default zoom in the backend will allow a better visibility.

The listing is in the making for version 2.0.3 or 2.0.4

Please if you want support post a URL and make sure I can access the map without registering.

Did you follow all instructions in the file?
Did you upload all the files?

I cannot access http://www.mini2.com/forum/markers.xml

markers.xml shouldn't be displayed...should it?

you need to point your browser at vbgooglemap.php...

There might be a data issue.

Can you please attach the xml file?

Also remove any old VBGooglemap.php you might have and make sure you reverted the templates if they were changed

Nice it worked all out.

The code for special chars does normally take care of all the data posibilities
so I'm happy it works now.

524 users and it still loads nicely. Nice to see that.

Don't forget you can have them link to their spot directly in the postbit or in the memberinfo now too

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=113055

Can you tell me what you did here? I am running IIS but I am getting the same error/problem that you originally had.

When I open the XML file in my browser I just get a blank page.

Thanks!

I really think it's a config issue on IIS or php config issue on IIS.

It's not normal that a plain xml file like markers.xml is unreadable on your server

In attachment 2 test files please upload them and see if they show empty too.

If they show up empty, your server/php config maybe the issue.

Also check if the .htaccess hasn't got a xml entry somewhere in it that sets xml applications.

I want my avatar larger. Changed it to 80 in setup, but it's still showing up as 50.

Also, I don't want Super Moderators as a member group. Where can I customize that display? I'd like some other member types and colors displayed. Is that possible?

That flexibilty is plannend for 2.0.3 or 2.0.4.

There was a typo in the avatarwidth setting. The version now only is fixed. Just reimport the xml with overwrite to yes

You'll have to dig in the code for that one now (not that easy)

Thx. Any fix for the apostrophe problem in the text?

It should show up as escaped now. It's currently needed because the XML file otherwise freaks out

Nah, it's the voodoo magic of the vbgooglemap :D :D :D

I think this hack is awesome, relly shows where the users are on your fourms and is just an awesome idea. He even helped me get some of it figured out on my site. Thanks a million :)!!!!

I didn't see this on the demo version:
"2.0.2 NOW ONLINE CURRENT VERSION
This includes
- list pages for the members on the map with pagination"

Did I miss something?

This has been moved to version 2.0.3 or 2.0.4

It should be online fast enough

* progging in turbo mode *

Thanks Stonyarc, very nice update indeed :)

One question. Since the Netherlands (as Belgium) are not yet mapped, I would like to start the map in hybrid mode as a default.
On the old version I got that working.
Is that also possible in this version?

It's already indicated in this thread a few times but the thread is getting too big.

I'm thinking of asking the mods to prune.

in the vbgooglemap_display_map

Look for


Change to

that should fix it

Thanks a lot.
I just moved "G_HYBRID_MAP" upfront and that's my default now.
I did a search in this thread on "hybrid", but i didn't find this sollution.
Thanks for spelling it out ones more :)

Who was the Google Maps user that had the custom-made map of a fantasy/medieval theme? I saw it somewhere in this thread, but can no longer locate it. I'm really interested in appropriating something like that before downloading this awesome hack.

You can build your style around it.

The version 2.0.2 stores the markers locally so you can even create your own markers as long as you respect the filenames.

Could this be ??????:rolleyes:

I hope this is the right place for this - as I'm very new to all of this. But - I get a "googlemap is registered for another website" alert. Even when I look at some of the other sites that are listed in this thread. Both on IE and FF. I've created the API key from my google login for that site. Have anyone of you run into this too? Or it may be a dern newbie thing...

Mark

Did you create if for the forum URL ?

it has to be for the root where the vbgooglemap.php script is in.

Please add a link if you request support

hmm........ just teasing us huh :D

Hmm, just noticed a small problem in 2.0.2 clicking on the map used to centre the map to that point, it no longer does this, I need to double click, is this just my mac/safari/firefox set-up or has anyone else noticed this in Windoze??

updating a pin doesn't seem to work either, i double click to move my entry but the lat and long don't change :(
