I'm not really sure what this means, possibly a mis configured stylevar... I can't really troubleshoot anymore from here.

One more thing to try, in the replacement code for the BB Code get rid of the table tag, the only code you really need is:

Code:

<iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q={param}&output=embed"></iframe>

See if that gives better results.

Thank you!!!! That corrected my issue with a narrow map in Firefox.

USing version 4.1

Ok it works for 50%. USed Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code and now i see it. But it only fills 50% of the frame :)

And replacment is
<iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q={param}&output=embed"></iframe>

And it works fine for 4.1! Awesome mod!

I need a thread per street with a google map inside. But also a general google map with a link to all the street-threads. How can i do that? Thanks!

I suppose there's nothing stopping you from doing it manually. I sure can't imagine software that would automatically scan a map and create a subforum for each street on it. Or a thread, though I don't know what good a single thread per street would do.

Thanks for the code, seems to be working fairly well. Only problem I have is that it displays on my forum like this and not in "full screen". I made changes to the HTML code Google gives you in the 'Share' Option but made it worse. Anyway to make it wider?

Thank you, that did the trick! Sorry for not reading the whole thread, I skimmed right over that post.

Works great.

The following BB Code replacement may not be properly formed. All HTML attributes should be enclosed within double quotes.
<div align="center" style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"> <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td class="thead" style="text-align:center"> <iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q={param}&output=embed"> </iframe> </td> </tr> </table> </div>

click continue and tested look like it just show me the full US map not the address i put in the tag

BirdOPrey5

04-03-2011 01:24 AM

The warning about the properly formed code can be ignored. It has nothing to do with your problem.

You either have an address google maps can't find, so it reverts to the USA map, or sometimes google maps just doesn't work... come back to it in 15 minutes and it will probably be fine. I've only seen the USA map about 5 times over 2 years I've used this code. (I know this was released Feb 2010, I had an older version before this one.)

Try adding &t=h to the embed URL, so the replacement would be:

Code:

<div align="center" style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">

<tr>

<td class="thead" style="text-align:center"><iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q={param}&t=h&output=embed"></iframe></td>

</tr>

</table>

Great mod, works perfect on 4.1.4.

Is it possible to add waypoints to a map?

spillage

Working great for me also (4.1.5).

Is there a way to set the initial zoom level?

At the end of the URL in the replacement, after embed add the code:

Code:

&z=10

where 10 is the zoom level, appears to be a number between 1 and 20, the higher the number the closer you are zoomed in.

You have to download the icon from this thread, upload it to your /images/whatever directory, and then set the path to the image in the bbcode options for it to show on the editors.

I'm having an issue embedding this map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=...b7fc7822&msa=0

not sure why but it won't show the right area or any of the markers when I use the [map] codes... Any suggestions? I'm using 4.0.8.
Here's the thread in question: http://newschoolofphotography.com/ne...christmas.html

thanks.

I see two Google embedded maps in FF. The first has markers. I guess you fixed it? Or maybe a cache issue?

edit: Okay I think I see what you're asking. That really is a fancy looking map at http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=...b7fc7822&msa=0 . I don't see why it shouldn't embed.

This works, but when I type in an address, and use the bbcode for the map, it only displays a gigantic map for the entire USA, and doesn't pin point the address I gave it.

Videx

12-09-2011 09:21 PM

Maybe they specifically have embedding disabled for those fancy maps? You may want to search around the Google Maps forums for a clue.

George, are you having your own trouble? Try to find the address in Google Maps first. Once you do, use that url. You could be misspelling a street name or something.

Then it's not working- all I can advise is erase it and try again. Read this full thread for updates.

Found the answer to this.

My address shows up find in Google Maps, but not with this mod. Just shows the US map

If this is using the old Google Map v2. How can I update using v3 api?

How about a smaller map fixed size with a link to a full size map.
Has anyone updated to Google Map v3?

I don't want to leave a huge google map skewed off the side of the page and bulging out the side of the resent posts widget, because it looks like sh*t.

This is a brand new install of vb 4.1.1 and this mod is basically the only mod that is installed.

The real question is, is there a way to set permissions on this or some how prevent the maps from showing in the resent posts widget? Maybe there is some way to stop it from being used in the forums? or prevent registered users from using it?

So it worked for 4.1.1?

I have 4.1.12 and this mod isn't working. When I tried saving the BB Code I got this message:

I proceeded anyway but the mod never worked. :(

Try this...

Example:

Code:

[map]Brisbane, Queensland, Australia[/map]

Replacement:

Code:

<iframe width="75%" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="" marginwidth="" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q={param}&output=embed"></iframe>

Check BB Code Manager...is BB Code and HTML both

Code:

[map]Brisbane, Queensland, Australia[/map]

Also make sure everything is set to Yes.

with the exception of Use {option} which is to be set to No.

If it still does not work then delete BBCode and start again with what I provided.
Yes, error can be safety be ignored.

or just delete and start again. :)

Edit: I believe this is it. Use {option} which is to be set to No
Check :)
