If I bought the pro version of the GeoCity database, could I just use that instead of the lite version?

ReadOrDie. Follow...these...instructions.

See that little folder icon under the "download" on the right hand side of the screen? Click on it. Then click save. Then click desktop. This will save the zip to your desktop. Double click the downloaded folder. Extract to desktop. The "read me" txt will point you in the right direction.

Now to the hack. It's a nice idea. but it is rather pointless. Even the super-expensive version is only approx 75% accurate, so what's the point? I would rather allocate this hack's space on my vBulletin to something like FlashChat.

This hack is a gimmick.

*clicks install* hee hee

Its a gimmick, but it's a nice looking gimmick :D

BTW, are there plans to do a more detailed Map espacially for a single country, like Germany. Or continents like Europe/America?

I deinstalled the old version and now I installed the new.

I uploaded all the Files but the Cron sayes:
These files are in the maps dir:
world.png
world_alpha.png
world_color.png
world_real.jpg

Plz help.

Hmmm...This is strange. Doesn't matter what i do in the options, it doesn't seem to affect how the hack operates. For example, I try to change the marker to a diamond, but it stays as a cross. And even the templates don't change!

Also, how do you prevent the map from expanding when you place the mouse over it?

Doh...I forgot that it takes a few mins for the changes to take affect.

Nice hack. I'll be voting for this as hack of the month. It used to be v3 arcade, but not anymore :(

I have purchased the full version of GeoIPCity from Maxmind for my ad targeting using phpadsnew. Can I run this off the full distrobution? They say there is better coverage, do you know if that is correct?

no clue why people keep asking questions i dont think hes going to answer... he hasent answered a question since 25. Mar 2006, 22:40

Dear all,

Could anyone offer some assistance in decompressing this downloaded file as per step 5 in the hack instructions?

I've downloaded the GeoLiteCity.dat.gz file from http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity, and uploaded it to my server; no problems thus far. However, when attempting to decompress the .sz file from the SSH command line with tar -xvfz GeoLiteCity.dat.gz, I receive various tar errors.

For those of you who have had success with the file/install, how did you decompress the file? Am I using incorrect flags for the untarring?

With thanks in advance.

i would just unzip it and upload it via ftp this way you dont get the errors...
