The cause of the problem is that the pimage link isn't being parsed safely for XML.

Here's a fix that I think will work (at least it works for me -- I do NOT guarantee this, if it causes spontaneous combustion, fire, death, etc., I'm not to blame):

*** I JUST SAID THAT I DO NOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK. I DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY. YOU MUST BACK UP YOUR DATABASE AND ALL OF THE FILES RELATED TO THIS MODIFICATION, SO THAT YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF NECESSARY. ***

In /forums/includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php:

Find:

Immediately ABOVE the text I have quoted, place the following text:

In the same file, find this:

Immediately BELOW the text that I have quoted, place this:

That should render all entities in the 'pimage' field safe for XML, so it will validate. However, that script is only called when the CRON job is executed... when someone edits their entry online, a different copy of that same script is called (which is really bad form, in my opinion, but hey, I didn't develop this...). That second copy is located at /forums/includes/functions_vbgooglemapme.php. You need to make the exact same changes in that file as I have mentioned above.

Now... I am not claiming that this will solve everyone's issues. It more than likely will not. It will, however, fix problems with 'pimage' being the reason that the XML won't validate. I think that this will probably fix the problems that quite a few of you are happening.

Really old post of yours GeekDrew but the .txt file on your server is long gone. I need to apply this patch again and if you still have that (or anyone else reading), please let me know.

Also there are other fields that are in need of validation.
Has anyone gotten a bulletproof solution here yet?

did you get anywhere with this as i really would like to install it but have vmoods installed :(

I removed vmoods and replaced it with the newer dbtechs facebook status as they have included mood images in it, and with a bit of work you can run the same images that you use in vmoods.

This allows the markers to display properly using ckgreenman's version.

If you DO decide to install my version, then all you will need to do is save your marker file, uninstall the product, and install the new version. I imagine that StonyArc would provide some means to import the data from the marker file.

Hope this helps

I've just installed the vB4 version and it seems to be working perfect. Great work on the update for this.

When first installed I also could not get the markers to appear, but to fix this all I had to do was edit my own entry [Your Entry] and click Update the information (without actually editing anything) and the markers all appeared, so it seems re-saving the data fixed it.

I followed the instructions ckgreenman laid out and when I click on the link for it I get this error.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/39.png

Any ideas? I'm sure my API key is right, although I was updating from version 2.5.2 not 3.0.1 of this mod. If I go get a new API key, which one should I get? Will that mess up my marker data?

Thanks in advance!

What are my options if my markers.xml file is blank, but they are still stored in the database?

HondaATC

07-11-2010 12:10 AM

Fixed it. Apparently just adding one new marker re-freshes the markers.xml with the information from the database! :D

Any ideas on my error I'm getting above? Everything else seems to be working, but it's annoying to get a pop up error every time.

Happens in Firefox and Safari (and the other browsers too I'd imagine).

make sure your giving google the exactly right address to process the key. If your on a subdomain, use the subdomain. If you have a htaccess that forces you to either remove or use the www, make sure that is correct as well.

It still doesn't want to work.

Here is my website:

Ok I talked with StonyArc and even though he is working on an OFFICIAL vB4 release he has authorized me release my vB4 version of this mod (3.0.1-vb4 for lack of a better version).

INSTALL:

1. To Install, unpack the contents of the zip file onto your computer.
2. Upload the contents of the "upload" directory AS IS so that the vbgooglemapme.php file
resides in your forum root
3. In AdminCP go to "Manage Products" and click the "Add/Import" link at the bottom.
4. Under "Import Product", click the "Browse" button and specify the "product-vbgooglemapme.xml" file.
5. Click "Import"

To UPGRADE from 3.0.1 (if it's still installed after you upgraded to vB4):
1. In AdminCP, go to the VBGooglemapME Settings and record your googlemap API key,
2. In AdminCP, go to the "Manage Products".
3. Scroll down to VBGooglemapME and uninstall the product. (user markers are not deleted so existing markers)
4. Unpack the zip file.
5. Upload the contents of the "upload" directory. (The only files that changed are vbgooglemapme.php and incluces/functions_vbgooglemapme.php so copying those is sufficient)
6. import the new product file.
7. Go to VBGoogleMapME Settings and put in your googlemap API key (and any other settings).

Note: The permissions will not be correct when you upgrade so you will need to rebuild the bitmask by visiting the Usergroup Manager. The masks should rebuild on their own but make sure your group permissions are as you need them. Also, the "Member Map" link resides on in the Community drop down menu which is visible when you click the "Forum" tab.

NEW FEATURES:
In addition to being ported to vB4 I added a few features that had been suggested on this thread.
You can now select "Terrain" as a default map mode.
Terrain is a selectable mode when viewing the map.
You can now zoom the map using a Mouse Scroll wheel.

If you have any questions regarding THIS VERSION please feel free to contact me here or via PM.

Enjoy!!

I've installed this on my recently upgraded forums (from 3.8.5 to 4.0.5) and it was working fine but having one problem, the pins on the map keep disappearing. When someone adds a pin or something, they'll appear, but a little while later they are gone again. It appears this happens after the hourly Google Map Me CRON runs.

Need help!

My first guess is that it's the result of misparsed characters - something that ZeroHour's fix ought to cure.

So you can try comparing before-cron and after-cron versions of the markers file.

Where is "ZeroHour's" fix??? :confused:

DISREGARD: Found the fix and it appears to have resolved my issue on the vB4 ported mod... THANK YOU!

I'll look into this but it almost sounds like the key isn't getting copied correctly.

Sadly no. I've been extremely busy working on other projects (and enjoying the summer, lol).

In the interim I noticed someone found a workaround that provides similar fuctionality but doesn't use the vMoods mod.

Is there a chance to have this as some kind of map to show users interesting points ?
Means, that only the administrator is able to insert markers, but he has to be able to add multiple markers.
This would be a fantastic fit for my website.

Having one other weird problem with the mod in vB4.0.6.

When someone puts up a pin and it puts the "Map Me" link in their postbit, in posts their location displays correctly, but if they send me a PM and I click the link in their postbit in the PM, the link is to my pin, not theirs!

It seems the "Map Me" link works correctly when it is a post, but when it is a PM the link shows the location of the receiver of the PM, not the sender (even thought the "Map Me" link is in the sender's postbit in the PM).

Anyone else seeing this issue in vB4.x?

Tip for those using this:

I had my markers disappear on me the other day. I couldn't figure out why. I loaded markers.xml in my browser and got a parse error with a copy of what line exactly was showing it. Turns out a user had posted a link to an attachment into his thumb tack, and the character messed it up. I removed the image link, deleted markers.xml via FTP, and then added myself back on, and markers.xml regenerated with the correction, and then the page loaded correctly showing all nearly 200 markers.

No pins are showing on the map?

I'm on vb3.7. It is installed.

How the heck do you get a pin to show on the map?

I entered my location and no pin shows on the map!

How can I fix this?

THANKS!

Well tried this and the markers still dont show.

Maybe this is just a trash mod and not working for vb3.7x?

In case the pins do not show up they most likely have not been uploaded...

i think i did what you said, but it didn't work for me, is why im asking.

Its been sometime since I did this but as I recall:

The tacks are stored in two places. One in a mysql table that actually propogates the xml file. I either edited the table directly in phpmyadmin or went to the settingsin admincp for this mod and found the user that had posted the link and removed it that way. It seems like there was a moderate users option or something for it, that had a list of all the users there location and comment data. Wherever that was, I deleted the info causing the the information that was causing the error in the xml from the database. And my own info from the database. Then I deleted the markers .xml completely, and I readded myself from the web interface, the modified database table re generated a correct xml file and it worked.

This was about 6 months ago so I can't remember entirely ;)

I'm getting 'InfoTabs' is undefined when I click on a marker. Anybody encounter this? And I don't see the popups.

eh69	02-26-2011 05:47 AM

Im using php 5.3.5 and xcache. I have error too:

Code:

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/vbgooglemapme.php on line 84



Fatal error: Call to a member function render() on a non-object in /usr/local/www/forum.x.org/vbgooglemapme.php on line 217

This error is missing when I click "flush cache" in vBOptimise, but missing on for one refresh. Next is showing again.

Or error is missing when I comment this line in vbgooglemap.php:

Code:

$vbulletin->vbgooglemapme = unserialize($vbulletin->vbgooglemapme)

Map is showing - its not correct key problem.

Second problem - markers is dont adding to my marker.xml file, its looking that:

Code:

%

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><markers>

<!-- (c) 2006 StonyArc -->



</markers>

Im using iso8859-2 enconding on my site.

EDIT
I found fix for that.

1. find this line

Code:

$vbulletin->vbgooglemapme = unserialize($vbulletin->vbgooglemapme)

and replace with this line

Code:

// $vbulletin->vbgooglemapme = unserialize($vbulletin->vbgooglemapme)

2. in googlemap admin cp disable small map preview :)
