Try uploading the version 2.0.2 now online. There have been some minor changes.

There was a naming issues in the update screen which was causing the effect your describing.

Just handle it as a normal update like in the pdf only the template xml needs to be uploaded and overwrite to yes

thats fixed the edit entry lat and long updating but it still needs a double click to get map to move to centre, wonder if its another hack i have added causing it?

As it's indicated in the text above the map it does require a double click as I want the single click to be free for future use.

Sorry about that. It's needed for some cool new thingy I'm trying to create

And yes I'm teasing with the screenshot.

If all goes well I'll have an ALPHA version running on sunday of vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition.

So any potential ALPHA testers just send me a PM

Hey,

I got a few screenshots of googlemap hotspot edition.

Dev is going ok

Also see post just above this one

I can't wait.
I want to develop a new forum and need this.
Could there be two urls?
One I need to go to a specific website and the other to a particular forum.

there is no interaction between vbgooglemap member and hse they can even run on the same site without a problem

It's looking really good - will we be able to link to the marker so i will be in the centre of the map? and will we be able to specify a zoom level? Will we be able change the Tab Names to something like Details and Image?

Can't wait to get my hands on it !!

Keep up the good work

stonyarc, I have a Googlemap vbulletin plugin in my forum too. It's a little different from yours:

1) it uses Google Map wrapper class for google map API: PHP GoogleMapAPI
http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/GoogleMapAPI/
2) it has the of geocoding ability (the ability to convert a street address to latitude and longitude , for example support a Canadian Postal Code or Address for eg. M2J 3R7 or 277 Wellington Street West Toronto )
3) it supports query information by distance.

you can see these functions in this website:

I am not sure to release this as a new vBulletin plugin, do you like to intergrate them into your code?

Devguru,

Thanks for the tip.

And I'm writing all this code ;) It's a good training.

There is a slight problem with the class. It's not API v2 compliant as the vbgooglemap is since the V2.0.0. I'll have a check if I can rewrite the class to make it compliant as google will discontinue v1 somewhere in the future. I was even writing my own class so I think I'll probably integrate it if you don't mind. There's not a lot of point in multiple mods doing the same things.

vbgooglemap has also support for custom markers

I'll release hotspot edition as is and take it from there. Address support isn't possible on a global scale so that's not integrated in the vbgooglemap. It would be nice but there's the privacy thingy again.

There are some sites that offer global address support but these are paying services where you have to pay for each query you launch so that's not a possibilty. Moreover the database for global support is HUGE.
Hotspot Edition will do just that and even more. Thanks for asking.

If you click your entry on the Member Edition you'll see that this is already supported. So yes, it's also supported in the HSE

I even released a how to for the postbit integration.
