Detailed installation instructions and screenshots in the included pdf file.

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 2.5.1 brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.1.

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 2.5.0 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.

Changes in this version

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

Hello,

1. As said a user needs to set his location for privacy reasons and the fact that there is no free geocoding global service based on addresses

2. your server is really slow

3. my marker is shown on http://www.forum.freeaholics.com/vbg...hp?do=showmain

4. if you have a different style/template you need to upload the button images to the correct directory and not to the main style. You can use parent styles to avoid that in the future.

5. don't forget to click install if you are running the product.

That should fix all your issues. There are no functional problems that I can see.

You might want to uninstall the mod and reinstall.

You can take a backup of the data but it's not really needed as the uninstall doesn't remove the table from the database.

That might fix it

Here?s the url to the map: http://www.ffsf.de/vbgooglemap.php?do=showmain
What could it be?

I'm not able to simulate that.

The script itself for positioning the markers is executed client side and not server side.

It might be an issue limited to your setup/version/internet speed.

What is the exact error?

Could this be true

Feature Request: Really small, but can the pixel width of the map be a variable in the options. The current width is too big for my forums (I'm within a fixed table) - so have to keep editing the templates again on each new release

Would be so handy to not have to do that
