I've set up a simple page that has the gmap code embedded with the Google map code HERE - sorry, my web programming skills aren't up to working out why it isn't recognising the URL :confused:

And you have edited the BBCode to set the values as I said??
Please, verify it, and tell me, I think that there could be a workaround, but I think the solution is on setting those values right.

It works great, shame it can't embed a route too. Thanks for the code. :)

Who said no routes??

Create your route and store it, and then click on the Link button and paste as in the examples...

Whoops, error on my behalf. It does show routes . . . I must have done something wrong. :)

Edit, answer found.

Just a tip, this BB Code doesn't work with Google Maps URL, it does work only with the HTML links with the Iframe instruction.

Any pointers on how to create a route in Google Maps? Great mod, oasi!

Yes, it is set up absolutely correctly. I have discovered some stuff that might shed light on my (and other's) problems:

The "Automatically parse links in text" option ALWAYS screws up the HTML code on the map page whenever the post edit box is loaded (it's too late even if you turn it off before saving the edit). You can either disable the function in the Vb Admin (not very convenient for users) or re-paste the Google map code into a post during editing.

If I use your code exactly as is it returns "Wrong Map URL..." every time. I've placed the code on a this page with the correct Google map code so you can view and debug the source (it doesn't seem to recognise the first search string?). Out of desperation, I modified the code to simplify it and tested it on this other page with exactly the same Google code and it seems to work OK (I've removed a couple of tests and avoided using ") It's probably full of security holes as I'm no programmer :)

Another little vBulletin quirk is that any HTML code added to a post stays there even if your turn off "Allow HTML" in the forum properties. Handy if you want to add an HTML content post to a normally non-HTML forum!

Many Thanks for your additional BB-Code-Info!

It works!!! :)
