Has anyone made and google buttons for this that can be highlighted insted of typed. We want to keep this simple for users.

nice mod. Still a bit immature tho. Also noticed the address doesn't show in the bubble. Any way to fix that?

This is great! Thanks! Just added it to day!

I'd love to see this in action on a website. Is it allowed for posters to reply with their website for me to look at?

I just installed this on my forums (vB 3.6.8 PL2). Works perfect for me.

Len, here's the instructional thread I wrote for my users. Note that I am using lat/long instead of street addresses since that's more what we're into on my site.

Zippy, thanks. I have a hunting forum and we have a sub-forum where members have posted text descriptions of shooting range locations. I think this would work well to add maps.

Thanks for this, helped me out. :)

Hello.

Is there a way I can install a second instance of Phoogle to create a different [map] command that uses a different size map window?

Thanks

Does anyone know if this program is capable of mapping GPS coordinates (as opposed to an address)?

Our site users are looking for a way to post their GPS coordinates from hiking trips, etc. and have them mapped.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is a mod that needs to be developed more. I will look into it in next few weeks.

YES!!!!!!!!

Is it possible to set the Hybrid[ view as the default view? At the moment it's the map view, and sometimes it does not show much data, especailly in far-flung places.

The idea of this mod is great.
Did someone here improve it to work directly with lat/long ? Or just type de zip code or other reference ? A great thing for me would be just get the maps posted by just pasting the http link created by google maps

Google API now gaves me support for my country but as this mod gets validation from yahoo maps, nothing works for me. Is there a way to deasable this yahoo validation ?

Tks.

Interested in an improvement to this... I allow my users to upload *.kml and *.kmz files and basically want a map inserted for each attachment that is of those types, with the source of the map being the attachment Url.

An embedded auto-preview of Google Earth if you like.

Hi - great hack! It worked fine until a few days ago. Maps are not displayed anymore. Any ideas how to start troubleshooting?

I cannot get this to work for anything.....

using defauly settings, entered google API key as supplied by Google...

tried different addresses and still no luck.

Keep getting invalid address no matter what I use.

Ideas?

Same here, when I use example code, I get invalid address.
[map]1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500[/map]
1. Invalid address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500

Google apparently made some changes to the Maps API services.

Magnus, if you do get a change to work on this again, could I recommend that you find a way to circumvent the "invalid address" message that keeps you from posting? I have some RSS feeds that actually use the [map] tags, and the feed is interrupted by the invalid message, and can't be retrieved.

I can't uninstall this. Here's the error message I get:

I re-install with an overwrite, and try uninstalling again ... nope. Same error.

Tried the query "ALTER TABLE `post` ADD `phoogle_html` mediumtext", and phpMyAdmin took about 300 seconds to execute. Even then, when I try to uninstall, the vBulletin control panel just hangs after Confirm Deletion: Phoogle at forums/admincp/plugin.php?do=productkill without deleting the plugin.

So, how can I delete the thing manually?

damn, this mod is dead now? if i can get past the "invalid address" error, all i see is a blank area where the map should be:
http://googlemapsforum.com/showthread.php?t=5

firebug says there's a syntax error in showthread.php on lines 2153 and 2180:
2153:2180:

Would like to get this on my site.

Anyone know if a work around for what Google has done will be able to be done?

OK, I installed this and I configured it. I do not see anything different in the forums. What am I supposed to see? I went through the UserCP, the posting screens. I see nothing new.

It doesn't add anything new. It adds the ability to parse address into a Google Map using BBCode.

Hey folks.... I found this lovely add-on today. As others, I got the "Invalid Address" error as Yahoo is now requiring keys similar to google. So, in a fit of coding fury, I hacked up the code....switching the yahoo geocoding functionality over to google.

This is now working for me. I cannot guarantee it will work for you.

I am happy to work with the original author as well to get this "officially" posted here so that it will show up as updatable, etc, in vbulletin.

Enjoy!

how would we go about 'fixing' our install with that file?

1. Download my XML file to your computer.
2. Login to the vBulletin admin interface.
3. Go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products.
4. Click [Add/Import Product] at the bottom of the list of installed products.
5. Click browse, select my XML file that you downloaded to your computer.
6. Choose Yes for the option Allow Overwrite.
7. Hit Import.
8. Go to vBulletin Options > Phoogle Settings.
9. Replace the Geocode API URL with this value: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=xml
10. Hit Save.

Go to a post now and try to create some map BBCODE (as described above). When you preview / submit your post you should not see a map....

I am interested in using this but is the only map that will be displayed from the API code? Or can anyone use this feature?

I'm not sure what you mean. The API is just what was used to develop this mod. The mod itself adds new BBCode to your forum called [map]. So as long as all your users can use BBCode, then yes, everyone can use it.

Wow. This MOD looks great but not 3.7.2! :( Any chance of getting this updated and support for lat/long?

It works fine 3.7.2 !:up:

Maybe author would add "nl", "oe" and "ie" parms to map url (look here http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq...nguagesupport? ) :p

Can't get it to work in vb 3.7.3 PL1 either. Keep getting the dreaded "invalid address" error. :(

yes ,
invalid address

Does this only work for addresses in use?

Look at captbunzo's posts #223 and #225.

Awesome! Thank you so much - it's working now. Any ideas how I can add this to a button in the editor?

Cool that works! Thanks captbunzo!

Can one help me, I always get this error
Invalid address:

Thank you ever been to advance

Can't get it to work in vb 3.7.3 PL1 either. Keep getting the dreaded "invalid address" error.

Please HELP ME

It was BETA when made for 3.6.5, not to mention, Google did a few changes to their API since then. Unless the author decides if wants to pick this up again, there's no real way to fix this.

There is an alternative to the

Same problem, I can?t uninstall this hack. Why? Any suggestions?
