MagiKelly, what happens when there is an invalid image address or some special character in the text? Have you tried ZeroHour's fix in post
#697? That's worked for me and for several otehr people.
Phaedrus, it's rather troubling that vB 3.8.1 seems to have broken vbGoogleMap for you. I think that you ought to try ZeroHour's aforementioned fix, because by coincidence, someone might have entered some bad text or a bad image URL at the time that you upgraded to 3.8.1.
Is anyone else here willing to tell us their experiences with vbGoogleMap on 3.8.0 or 3.8.1?
towermatt, the \' instead of ' is an artifact of the text handling that will be hard to fix short of a major rewrite of it, to do JavaScript escaping and HTMLizing properly. And BTW, I think that the position-input system also deserves rewriting. I'm fairly familiar with the Google Maps API, but not so familiar with PHP or vBulletin's API, so I could offer only a limited amount of help. And where has StonyArc been?
