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.

Special

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

Page generated in 0,35319 seconds with 180 queries [Server Loads: 2.48 2.01 : 1.95]

The display script doesn't do 180 queries it reads an xml file.

2.5.0 is just around the corner maybe that will fix it for you.

As said before I downloaded your xml file and it displayed correctly on both my testservers (1 windows 1 fedora)

[stonyarc]

I'm looking for someone to test 2.5.0

Who's willing to risk it

[stonyarc]

All,

I have a window open in the chat if you have any questions

[Bhuwan]

2.5.0 is looking good!
However, this cannot be good:

0.13998 seconds 288 queries to load []

!
EDIT: removed server loads

Did you uninstall any previous version??????

The script should have renamed any old table googlemap to googlemapme

That should fix all the errors.

You can check in the product xml what queries need to be executed.

On a clean install it created 2 tables vb_googlemap and vb_googlemapme_settings

That was all, no other tables got made.
