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.

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.
- You'll need a googlemap key for your domain. Get your own key for your domain view http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html for more information.
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

whitey thank you very very much

but here are my other problems.

1. is there away to only show certain groups on the list. there are 8 groups.
but i do not have anybody as super moderators, coppa etc so its pointless for those usergroups to show.

2. showmainmap
list users
your entry
aboutvbgooglemap

when I press these buttons i get a error page. i think the problem is the url adress for all these buttons. because the adress on the adress bar does not match where i uploaded the files to my server. how do i change the url for each of these buttons so they are directed to the correct source.

3. in the markers.xml file, there is nothing but a code that has the word markers twice. do i need to enter any code in there? (i know i sound like a complete fool but sorry i m very new to this )

4. when I got my api key from googlemap, it showed an example of some codes underneith my code and said "your page should look like this" do i do anything with that code or ignore it?

any help would be highly appreciated. thanks
