Here ya go...

EDIT: Viewing ion the desktop it works fine...but online I get the parse error... :ermm:

I've been a VB admin for a loooong time (5+ years now I think) and this is my favorite all-time hack. Thanks Stony!

HOw do you update>?

just upload the xml?

nvm... :whistle

It's indicated in the install.txt :surprised:

Thanks a lot.

There will be a lot more features in the next version too

Don't forget to vote for VBGooglemap as hack of the month :devious: :devious: :devious:

Any ideas for my problem stonyarc?

Thanks. :)

Is the markers.xml in the same folder as your VBGooglemap.php?

Are the file permissions set to 777 on the markers.xml file?

Yes and yes. :ermm:

There is something wrong with the entry template.
Just check the bottom when clicking your entry

Did you change anything in the php file itself?

this normally only occurs when calling something undefined or when you forget to close a php line (; or } or )

The bottom of what? Check a checkbox?

EDIT: Also, the Current Users field is blank. :(

that is normal that is filled on parsing of the XML and not from the DB

All the way to the bottom, your display bottom (white get firefox thingy)

PS read post above.

Did you change anything in the php and forgot to close a php line?

Nope. I didn't touch the PHP file...

Well the error isn't logical.

it's a stupid simple xml file so how should he generate a php error.

It seems to me that something on your forum is causing this.

Do you use a custom .htaccess or SEO materials that can be causing this.

PS I'm on your shout that makes it easier

I have a custom .htaccess, but not for my board. The htaccess file is in the root directory of my website.

Alright I'm in my Shoutbox now too... :)

.htaccess error I think

I'll check it.

What a fab feature and works really well. Thanks :)

Don't forget to click install :smoke:

Awesome thank you, where can i donate to you at? feel free to pm me your addy.

Excellent work stony!!!!!!!!!

Here's the information I got 10 seconds ago concerning the further development for all those who plan to install this extension :)

Thanks MrNase,

I also updated the first post (roadmap)

Anyone look into taking visiting IP addresses and using something like IP2Location to convert it to lon/lat then feeding that to vbgooglemap?

IP2Location scripts don't give you an accurate location. Most of the time it's only the country.

Is 1.0.4 available? I still see only 1.0.3 as a download.

Edit: Nevermind, I see 1.0.4 is still in development.

Stony,

Some of my users are seeing this (attached image) when they try and place a marker. All different web browsers. I've also had them restart their browser and clear the cach with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks bro!

You can check the googlemap table (with phpmyadmin) and look there if there are any entries that don't have a latitude and longitude.
You can remove those lines.

This will revert it for those users.

A fix will be included in the next version.
It sometimes happens if you start clicking update before moving the map.

I hope this fixes it.

If that isn't the case, is there a javascript error on the bottom left? if so which one?

Thx a lot dude. Very nice work. I love it !
Can't wait for Vers. 1.0.4. :nervous:

But 2 questions:

1. How can i change the color of the usernames in the popup (Screenshot) ?

2. Is it possible, when i klick on the username in the Popup, the link goes to this users profile ?

Thx and bye
Harry :nervous:

In VBGooglemap_display_map template

look for


and replace with


You might have to put /forum/ before member.php in some cases where forum is the root dir of your forum.

The only problem with that is usernames with special characters won't work, will they?

Nope.

P.S. Long time no see old man. :)

That should be solved.

Encoding is included in version 1.0.3

The problem I see is how can the browser parse special characters? The link should be to the userID not the name.

Ok, Problem 2 is fixed - THX !

Do you also have a solution with the Textcolor of the username in the PopUp ?

bye
Harry

This is a quick fix. In version 1.0.3 the userid is not send to the markers file.

I know what you mean I cannot fix this quickly in this version as I already started development of the next one in which this is fixed.

No worries. I love the hack. We have had it up for about 24 hours and have 97 markers already. :)

Ah, so 1.04 will use the userid? Very nice. ;)

But when a users decides to add his entry you might focus his location (country) with a IP2Location script so that he don't has to scroll around :)

Installed! One problem.....


I dunno if this has been posted before, but IN FIREFOX my map is missing the "Show entry and Your Entry" buttons
