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.

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

I have upgraded to the new version but the allignment is not correct for my style. Before the upgrade I used this thread to fix it and worked great https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=782

But what do i do to fix the width on the new version?

The width and height can now be set in the admincp settings

stonyarc,

Can you please add one more fix? The encoding of the XML file is ISO-8859-1. Is it possible to use current language encoding instead of setting it to "ISO-8859-1" by default?

[Holidazed]

I searched but there are just too many posts.

Can somebody tell me what the difference is between this version and the hotspot version?

This version is purely to show members that want the be on the map.

The HSE is intended for landmark, bars, sites, people, places to visits, .....

HSE also includes the option to add full description. The next version will include Google Earth support and comments.
