Current Features



NOTE:
VBGooglemap 3.0.0 contains the vulnerability fix. Please upgrade immediately. Version 3.0.0. also contains all features from 2.5.X

As always you use modifications at your own risk.

VBGooglemap Member Edition 2.5.x brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.x.

Upgrading from version 2.5.0 is easier. Instruction are available in the guide.

As the uninstall function will not remove your googlemap data in the database but only the templates and files you can safely remove an older version. As a precaution you should always take a backup. This should be done on each major change you make to your bulletin board.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING VERSION 1.0.3, 2.0.X AND YOU CHANGED TEXT DIRECTLY IN THE TEMPLATES YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES AS VERSION 3.0.0. REQUIRES YOU TO UINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS.

This has taken quite some work and still will take a lot more. Please give credit where credit is due. You cannot remove any notice without prior written permission.

Sadly no. I've been extremely busy working on other projects (and enjoying the summer, lol).

In the interim I noticed someone found a workaround that provides similar fuctionality but doesn't use the vMoods mod.

I thought I had implemented this fix. Turns out I missed the cron code. I'm packaging an updated version now.


EDIT: Fix uploaded please go HERE to get the updated package.

Is there a chance to have this as some kind of map to show users interesting points ?
Means, that only the administrator is able to insert markers, but he has to be able to add multiple markers.
This would be a fantastic fit for my website.

Is it possible to remove the vB wrapper from this so I can use it as a Widget in vB4 CMS?

Having one other weird problem with the mod in vB4.0.6.

When someone puts up a pin and it puts the "Map Me" link in their postbit, in posts their location displays correctly, but if they send me a PM and I click the link in their postbit in the PM, the link is to my pin, not theirs!

It seems the "Map Me" link works correctly when it is a post, but when it is a PM the link shows the location of the receiver of the PM, not the sender (even thought the "Map Me" link is in the sender's postbit in the PM).

Anyone else seeing this issue in vB4.x?

[GoTTi]

still no talk about releasing this for 4.0?

[Diablotic]

I am still waiting for 4.x release. This is such a great mod!

Tip for those using this:

I had my markers disappear on me the other day. I couldn't figure out why. I loaded markers.xml in my browser and got a parse error with a copy of what line exactly was showing it. Turns out a user had posted a link to an attachment into his thumb tack, and the character messed it up. I removed the image link, deleted markers.xml via FTP, and then added myself back on, and markers.xml regenerated with the correction, and then the page loaded correctly showing all nearly 200 markers.

No pins are showing on the map?

I'm on vb3.7. It is installed.

How the heck do you get a pin to show on the map?

I entered my location and no pin shows on the map!

How can I fix this?

THANKS!
