I get the following error when I try to run the cron (scheduled task) or add a new entry "Cannot open XML File". Can you please advise.

many thanks

Did u chmod it to 777 ?

(that makes the file writable for changes)

if so, the cron could be a different user than u (chowner)

I installed this mod and when I went to go edit the templates it wouldnt show up the edit box...so I had to uninstall it. :(

Im trying this now..

Just did a fresh install of 2.5.2 on vb 3.6.2 and everything is good and showing.

Only request I would like to see is having control of the url images or the option to remove this geature.

*Installed thanx.

I just installed and get the following error when I click on RUN NOW

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/beta2/public_html/includes/adminfunctions.php:283) in /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php on line 20

Any ideas?

Ignore that error, I get the same thing, but every works fine.

If it's not working just make sure the auto approval is on or you are checking your approval list in your ACP.

Beautiful add on. :) Thanks.

This hack is working for me, however when someone clicks on List Users the following is shown on the top of the page (and no members are listed in the list)

Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php on line 2041

Any ideas?

My page appears to be blankw/ errors @ the bottom of the page...

It seems you are running a vB 3.5?

Hello All,

It works fine! Thanks. :up:

Is there a way to increase the size of the map in the [your entry] window?
BTW, is there a way to show markers as members choosed to show their membership instead of the primary usergroup?

Hi

Thank you for this hack.

Can anyone tell me please how do I add the phrases from the german xml file.
It can't be imported as product or plugin and doing it by hand would defete the purpose.

Please help and thank you

Is there a way to require users to put themselves on the map, similar to the way profile fields can be made required?

OK, to be dumb, im stuck at the first hurdle. I have uploaded the files to the correct folder as specified. Uploaded the plugin. But I have no link on the left as I should have. What have I done wrong?

Does not work with with SEO plugins (particulary Zoints) Just shows the map without the map.

Good idea but a waste of two hours to install it with poor instructions eg upload files x to x but missed that there was an other 2 files and it did not say to upload them or not??????

Considering the hack was released and pretty much droped as far as support goes I should have known to avoid it.....

Edited to to change "does not work with"

It's running fine for me on 3.6.1 other than the fact that it doesn't go to someones location when you click it in their postbit or on the members list.

I agree with the support though. :/

Did you even ask a question about your issue?
Instead of saying "Don't waste your time this hack is useless" you should be asking for help as I and many others have got it to work with 3.6.0, 3.6.1, and 3.6.2. Saying that someones hack is not worth the time is very unproductive, and quite pointless as it works for many, but why it works for you we dont know unless you ask questions and give people details.

You have SEO which is incompatible with this hack in most instances. When I enable my SEO I get the exact same issue. Disable your SEO and Im almost going to assure you it will work. Maybe you should talk to your SEO software support to get that working properly.

I have seen many questions asked about why it does not work for them and those questions were unanswered and still unanswered. No where in this thread did I read that it was not compatable with SEO and nor was that information posted in the instructions or even in the first post. At least advising people the limitations of a hack would prove more productive than not.

That said "dont waste your time" means exactly that. Obviously, the author does not wish to fully support the product and does not wish to write complete instructions and does not wish to advise people that if they have some SEO product working, this particular plugin will not be compatable. So the author himself is being unproductive in the approach to releasing a product, not me the person that wasted their time installing it and now having to uninstall it as the uninstall fuction does not remove the tables from the database.

Why I would deactivate a perfectly good, and usable product such as zoints SEO to get this one working is beyond me.

this module is conflicting with my interactive profile module (visionscript) when i add comments in the user's profile, it adds 1 queries for every comment added in the member profile page... however, when i disable this module , then it works fine without queries being added anymore for each comment.. anyone got the same problem and know the fix for this???

@flindersredclaw

Zoints SEO is currently incompatible with:
1. Incompatibility with vBA Gallery link.
2. Incompatibility with vBA Links
3. Improper linking from vBA CMPS Recent threads
4. Google Maps
[S]5. Non english characters[/S] - Character replacement is now available.

That is a problem of your SEO hack not this one.

does anybody know it?

thanks

Well I've installed it and set it up as stated in the instructions but for some reason my main map does not show, anyone have any ideas?

**Edit**
I've since discovered that it is my zoints seo addon which is causing the problem. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Is there a way of possibly excluding the googlemap page form the zoints seo?

BUMP :D

No one gets paid to give support here, if they have time or want to support it they do. These hacks are provided for free for our own use. If we can't get it to work, that's really our problem, not thiers.

No, nowhere in this thread did it say it was incompatable. But, in the Zoints SEO thread it's outlined quite clearly. I have filed a ticket with them, which they provide support for free, to try and get this issue resolved. It's of no fault of the author of this hack that Zoints is incompatible with it, nor is it his or her responsibilty to fix it.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy having this place to find free hacks and appreciate every coder out there providing them. Telling them one hack is a waste of time doesn't really motivate them to continue providing hacks, and support for thier hack. Again, no one pays them, they do it because they enjoy giving to the community. The author is being productive by providing a hack that works for many people. It's not up to them to get the hack working on your forum, that's your job.

Then don't, uninstall, and move on.

Thanks da420

I'm working on the new version of all the googlemap versions.

Release is still on target for this year.

As for the SEO issue, SEO and special apps like googlemaps can give issues.

Most SEO products allow you to exclude certain pages from SEO so why not use that till I can investigate the matter. I'm sure the SEO people will look into it also.

Do you mean the link in the postbit? or the one in the navbar

I will look into it stony and let you know what happens

Nope Zoints does not have that option...

After posting in the zoints help thread I was directed to this: http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=2068

It's a little workaround for the incompatibility with zoints and the googlemapme.
I did the code edit on my site and all is working fine now.

if the username contains a character like ' you get a mysql error.
Also a bug in version 2.5.2
Please can you fix it :)

Thanks !!! its awesome :). (installed).

I am uploading it to my site right now :)

thanks...

I think it said when you log in to your control panel it will have a link on the left? Or did I dream that up as I had just did a 9 hour upgrade / sever change. So I was tired at that time of the morning.

Hello,

I have insatlling this Hack here !
www.comicportal.lu

but after the installing an error is incoming:

Invalid SQL:
select mapid from googlemapme;

MySQL-Error : Table 'comicportal_1.googlemapme' doesn't exist
Error-Nr. : 1146

Help me please. Thank's

when clicking the "My Location" link in postbit, how do I have it zoom in a little closer by default?

I got this error, any idea what it means?

Nobody in Firefox or IE can edit their entries.... seems like their is a script error icon or something.... below is a screenshot..

Hi,

if more than one user is located in a town or a place and users zoom in the map, then is only one marker in this place. Where can I find a solution of this problem - and a solution so short and easy as possible :)

Greetings

Claudia

The markers are both there but they cover each other. Another default zoom will show the difference.
