Yes, have it running on two sites using 4.1.2. Did you try the updated package found here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=989

Has this mod tryed on 3.8.x versions?

I'm getting a popup that reads...

Any ideas?

OK. I just had to mess with this again to get the markers working. Instructions for anyone that is having issues.

Go to your website and load markers.xml in your browser window (http://www.yourforum.com/forum/markers.xml)

You should see an error about a parsing error. It'll give you some information like a line, and if you read the code you'll see a username. Copy this.

Load the AdminCP, VbGoogleMap ME Full Settings. Use ctrl + F to search for the username you got from the error in your browser window. Select that user and delete them.

Login to your ftp account, find markers.xml and delete it.

Make a BLANK new file called markers.xml in your favorite text editor. Upload it where the original was you just deleted.

CHMOD this new markers.xml to 777

Go to the Members map, click on"Your Entry/New Marker"

Scroll down, click update the information.

Load markers.xml again in your browser window. If you have another parse error, repeat the entire process (including deleting and re-uploading a blank markers.xml file).

If you deleted the last entry that was causing the problem, you should see the full list of all the entries, in Firefox the file will look different and it'll start with:

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

At which point you can go back to your members map, and it'll load all the markers! It might take a few tries to get all the ones removed causing the problem, but when you do it'll start working right again. Its important to delete the markers.xml file via FTP and upload a new one, because it'll be re-populated from the database with the changes you've made. If you DONT remove and upload the blank file, the markers.xml file WONT be repopulated by the changes you made in the database and you'll have the same problem.

Anything with an "&" I found to be an issue with the script whether it was in the name, the comments, or in the image link associated with it.

All of that is completely unnecessary. When you go tot the markers.xml file and find the username that is causing the parsing error, simply edit that user's entry and remove whatever is causing the issue. I'd recommend turning of the description field as that has been a bigger source of issues. Special characters are usually the cause, such as ' and <. A ' in the username will cause problems, so in some cases you may have to rename a user.

Its my experience deleting from the markers.xml file is not enough as there is a database table where the names and locations are stored, and as soon as a new entry is added it will re-populate the xml file with the old one unless you delete it from the database as well.

No one said anything about deleting it from the markers.xml file, in fact there's nothing there to delete. The sole purpose of going to the markers.xml file is to find out which user's entry is causing the problem so you can go and edit their entry, which fixes it in the database. While your method may work, it is still convoluted and unnecessary.

hello, got n script error on showing my entry or showing the entries of the users: Skript: http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/de_ALL/...api/main.js:36

vbulletin 4.1.7

Has anyone had issues with the "show on map" link simply dumping the user back to the main view of the map? I've tried tweaking the zoom setting in the CP. But it just shows the main map view. I see the link is formed correctly.

Has anyone got this updated and working in the vbulletin 4 software?

If not, is there any other program that can be used in vb4? I'm wanting something that will show the members username on the map, and not just a pin, just like this program.

Unfortunately, I've installed this and it is not working on vb4. I get the following errors:

I'd also like to know if anyone's gotten this working with vB4? I would gladly pay to have this mod adjusted...

I've been using it with vB4 for years, but I can't remember what I did to make it work...

Okay guys, have it working fine (from what I can see) on my 'in development' 4.2.0 site. I used the upgraded files here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=989 and it's working. Make sure you have the ‘Enable or disable the small map control’ set to ‘No’ so your markers show up, otherwise, works great.

It isn't centered, which I'd love to get a fix for, and I also would like to tweak the location/look of the 'dashboard' if anyone has any insight into that. I'm grateful to ckgreenman for the code update as, otherwise, I'd have had to start over or paid someone to figure this mod out. Awesome!

Well, as soon as I got it working, my map now disappears with the following message:

'Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. See the Terms of Service for more information: http://www.google.com/help/terms_maps.html.'

Anyone know what that's all about?

Google is using a different API now. The old V2 *should* still work.

NOTE: Anyone having trouble with markers not displaying.

Double check your header/headinclude for any javascript conflicts.

An easy way to check is: In your vbgooglemapme template: with $header and $headerinclude. Add a random number to the variable to temporarily rule them out. IE $header1 $headerinclude1

Refresh maps page. If your markers pop-up, theres likely a javascript conflict.

From there, copy your headinclude page (or header) and narrow down the conflicting script. Once found, do a simple conditional to exclude execution on maps page.

IE <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbgooglemapme'"><script blah blah></if>

*Ofcourse, be sure you dont need the excluded script to function on that page.

I have this installed and working OK on my VB 3.8.7. I had a problem with people entering the wrong information for the Image URL so I removed that field and don't use it.

My question is, how do I remove the "Image" tab from balloon that pops up on the map? I've read a LOT of the posts in this thread and I've seen where people have said that they removed it and I've seen several requests asking HOW it was removed but I've not found an answer to the question. Can somebody please help?

Well now that Google has shut down the old map API (v2) and is only using the v3 API, anyone have a fix for this to make the map work again???

Yes - I would like a fix for this too. Be a shame if this mod is broken forever!

Please, return the map.

+1 :(

+1 me too. My members love the map and now it's now broken :(

Any of you genius coding folks have any input on how to fix this mod given the Google changes? We need a hero :)

Here are the instructions to update the Google Maps API - https://developers.google.com/maps/d...ct13#migrating

I'm not a coder but will try working through this to see if I can get it back online. Seems like this will be a tedious process.

I glanced at Googles instructions for updating and it seems we'd need to get the new key and add it to the VBGoogleMaps settings, and then make some changes in the vbgooglemapme.php file as well as the "vbgooglemapme_display_map" template. I tried a few things but no luck so far.

My members love this mod too.. Hopefully Stony or someone else can get it fixed.

I am not getting any errors at all and when I view the xml file it parses fine but my map is blank..

I think that's what we're all seeing - but obviously without the mod placing member location pins, it's useless.

Do either of you have Java error reporting turned off? Error icon in IE bottom right for me. I updated my key to API V3, updated the bootstrap info to the new format and key, then went through all files changing the old G prefix to google.maps (ie: Gicon > google.maps.icon>. Thought I had it but still no joy. Still getting the following errors...

Still no solution?

Apparently not. I honestly can't believe that vbulletin hasn't created this functionality as part of core package. There's probably not a forum out there that wouldn't use it. Wish I had the tech skills to figure this one out.

I've farmed it out as a paid modification but the first developer didn't resolve it. Just hired a second coder to try. I know that doesn't help the free mod folks much but I need to get this working again given it's importance on my site.

If he solves it for you, could you let me know - I will definitely pay to get it working again.

PM me if you want contact info to get your map fixed and I'll fill you in.

Thanks Bryan - pm sent.

For any version 4.2 folks, a member here has worked through fixes for this mod and did a great job getting the member map back up and running on my 4.2.1 site. If you are interested in a fix, I would recommend you contact him.

I just spent the last couple days dealing directly with vBNinja, he fixed my vBMemberMap and got me back up and running, he was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating!

Highly recommended! :)

All hail vBNinja!

I also have a fix available. Not the same fix as VBNinja's. PM for info.

(Me and a JS friend developed a fix at the same time as VBNinja, so two are now available)

Ok, do why not share in the thread? Why need for a pm?

VBninja wants $100 for the working version.. Anyone else have a reasonable priced one or a free fix?
