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.

A googlemap key is only valid for a specific domain. You'll need a specific google account to create one.
All is explained on the googlemap link indicated above.
- Set the file permissions on the marker.xml file to 777
- The googlemap script can handle non-registered users. They will only see the main map and won't be able to enter information. This is reserved for logged in users (detected automatically)
- usergroup permissions are available in the backend
- To change location just drag the map while holding the left mouse key or by using the zoom and key functions on the left
- First time loading of the map may take a few seconds longer because of Google API hosting

It's working fine for me with 3.6.7 PL1.

Doesn't seem to work if you are using memcached as your datastore method.

Now i'm no expert myself but you are obviously using a FTP program to upload the files to the server.

Depending on the program but they should all be very similar, right click on the selected file(s) and change the file attributes to 777.. This is basically selecting all the available options for the file.



Hope this helps.

OK... This is also going to be a problem for me as the group get promoted and then change usergroup.

Is there an update or an amendment we can make?

Thx,

Hope this helps...

If this helps, this is my postbit (not legacy & I'm using a skin) and posted in the same location as above.

<if condition="$post[findme]"><div class="smallfont">Click here to see $post[findme]</if>

Seems to work perfectly for me. Just in case anyone else is looking for a way to do this.

Which template would I need to edit if i wished to add this to the user cp module on the CMPS?

Thanks,

Whitey..
